The great Jimmy Castor is no longer of this earth. We’re playing a selection of his hits to celebrate. If the unlikely event there’s a heaven, it just got a whole lot funkier.

This MacBook Air compact mirror is very cute, despite being held by a man.

A warm welcome to our new Project Manager interns. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

The Little Printer is oh-so-pretty. It would grace any home, desk, toilet, airport lounge… you name it. Reading the news on a till receipt is definitely the future. I for one will be binning my iPad and iPhone as soon as I get home.

It breaks my heart to hear that the legendary Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone, is living out of a caravan in Los Angeles.

Sly – what were you thinking?

The keys on Bernie Worrell’s clavinet are decorated with pages from old comic books. One more reason to love the legendary musician.

It’s a Friday. Back on the Monkey Hustle, with it’s bass-riff heavier than a Geoff Capes, Giant Haystacks, John Candy monk cluster.

Don’t know what a monk cluster is? Seems Google doesn’t either. Use your imagination…
