oh my, this sounds like a cheaply made horror movie but in fact is real life. these massively massive jellyfish are invading japan at an alarming rate!
one fishing boat was even capsized after a beast pulled the boat to the bottom of the ocean got caught in the net. scientists are blaming good old global warming for the their sudden onto the scene. either way, they sure are scary!
here’s the news in full
now…. who’s up for a jellyfish mucus smoothie? mucushake? eugh…. i think i’ll stick to vitamin water!
archive for November 2009
it’s monday and don’t we know it but lets take the dailyvitamins workout to really get that haemoglobin pumping to your otherwise bedraggled face. this workout requires no treadmills, protein shakes with yucky skimmed milk or extremely heavy weights. oh no, the programme is quite simple. follow the instructions below:
- click play on the video above
- allow the hi hats to gently massage you during the intro
- pause and wait for the bass to drop
- now ‘shake it’, but be careful to not cover your colleagues in wet water as it departs from your locks
- when the tune finishes you will find yourself warmed, tonally toned, dry and ready to take on the day.
and as a little brucey brunch bonus we’ve included this little treat – kid sister – control (la riots remix) don’t eat it up all at once ![]()
feeling better?
nb: this workout is approved by the bass scientists: diplo, laidback luke & foamo

sam dollop
i???m the founder of dollop events in london & nottingham.
where did the name dollop come from? ??? this is a pretty obvious question, but the problem is the answer isn???t very romantic or exciting. i was sat at breakfast in front of a tub of mayonnaise, with the word ???dollop??? in italics… it was stuck in my mind from then really as i was looking for a name for a night at the time.
a few times when i???ve been interviewing artists at about 5am. i wouldn???t say it ever went badly but things can get pretty interesting. i won???t give any names.
i don???t have a favourite brand, if i like some clothes then fine but i don???t really look out for certain brands. Nah never been nude in public…. yet!
it would have to be some kind of dream collaboration between a few people in order to create the most incredible music event ever. something like herbie hancock curating and playing music alongside carl craig. then anish kapoor would take care of designing the space. finally (sir) jimmy saville would act as mc for the evening. that would be pretty exciting…..
i???d like to be able to play piano while singing fluently in french.
far too early to think about that, but i will be by the sea somewhere in a mediterranean country.
people like floating points and joy orbison are both really pushing new ground in deep, bass driven electronic music. You need to check out arne blackman, one of our residents ??? he???s just been singing on some tracks with Its it???s a fine line (ivan smagghe + tim paris), has some amazing remixes coming up and will be getting involved with some very exciting things next year. Also in terms of bands frankie & the heartstrings are about to have their first release on rough trade, egyptian hip hop about to drop on late of the pier???s zarcorp label???.
in the words of the great jimmy saville…. “now then, now then”
if you want to check out some more dollop action then head on over to the swanky new website and take note of the upcoming events!

1. what???s your nickname, after all, we???re all friends here?
no nicknames as such???someone once accidentally called me flowers once and that seems to have stuck now.
2. now we???re bezzie mates, tell us something exclusively about yourself that most people don???t know.
on a drunken night at university i applied to be an air-hostess. i ended up bumbling my way through the interview process and doing the job for a year.
3. what question are you sick of being asked and why?
who are you?
5. ok, best skip question 4 then, damn researchers. in which can you tell us about a time when an interview has gone badly?
aside from my trolley-dolly adventure, i???ve never had a job interview!
6. most of us like to not be nude in public, so what???s your favourite brand/designer for covering yourself in? (and have you ever been nude in public?)
i am yet to embrace my naturist side, so a favourite designer???.that???s a tough one to answer. there are lots of designers i truly admire and currently there are a few proenza schouler and stella mccartney bits i???d love to have but cannot afford! so technically i???m not covered in them and haven???t really answered this question!
7. if you could work with anyone who would it be and why?
the true art of photography blows my mind – being able to extract a plethora of emotions in a single shot is awe-inspiring. david bailey or rankin would be at the top of my ???love to work with??? list.
8. we all like to know our stuff, if you could be a connoisseur/guru/demi-god of something what would it be?
all language. i speak french and spanish and find my inability to comprehend other languages incredibly frustrating.
9. i know it???s early days, but when you do eventually give up the game, what are you going to do in retirement? or are you going to be the new rolling stones?
i???d like to do some fellow o.a.p. styling, get them out of knits, fleeces and blankies! i???m currently working on it with my gran but she???s not very receptive!
10. who in your mind is the hottest talent that we should know about?
music is a huge part of my existence and i???m loving st. vincent at the moment.
11. and finally, what are your ???famous last words????
turn off the light???please

as the backstreet boys once sang, “omg,�� we’re back again“. yes oh yes we are and this time we are introducing you to another member of the london team. so please be seated as we introduce you to….. ludwika grochowska, glac��au vitaminwater london team���s hydrology queen.
what���s you���re name and where do you come from?
my real name is ludwika grochowska. alias ludi, and i am from a beautiful country in eastern europe – poland – the land of poles.
what do you love to do when you are not hydrating these fine peeps of london?
apart from chasing all sorts of design sales around london, i really enjoy spending quality time with my friends, going out, eating nice food, drinking nice booze and dancing dancing dancing. but my real passion is travel and planning those undiscovered lands for future trips…
if someone famous were to play you in a film of your life ��� who would it be and why?
lauren bacall ��� i love love love her!
what���s your role in the glac��au family?
i am the london hydrology brand manager which basically involves a lot of multitasking! my job includes booking in the accounts to visit and managing the weekly schedules. we also travel with our hydro vehicle and rehydrate those who are in an urgent need for the hydration-education and glac��au love. we often work in high profile companies or national retail chains like wh smith or boots where we serve the public�� little cute cup-shots whilst we dance around our ‘hydration-station’ like little angels.
where���s your favourite place to do hydrology in london town?
my favourite place for hydrology would be deutsche bank in the city as they absolutely loved us there! and the most sexy man in the boring city works there (swwwwoooon)! my other favourite hydrology place would be top shop, you don’t really need ask me why….clothes and shoes….yeeeeeeeeahhhh!
what���s your favourite glac��au flavour?
i always be loyal to multi v – as it goes well with rum to create an amazing glaceau mojito- my favourite cocktail! (and it also has lots of lovely nutrients that keep you fit and healthy yes ludi!!!)
what do you love most about spreading the glac��au love?
i love the people and helping to make the world a little happier by spreading the glac��au love.
what can���t you live without?
i can’t live without my beautiful shoes… and maybe a cheesecake too… oh and vitaminwater obviously ![]()
you���re 3 favourite films of all time?
‘how to marry a millionaire” 1953 with lauren bacall, ‘the godfather’ & ‘one flew over the coo coo nest” with jack nicholson.
what���s you���re guilty pleasure?
again my guilty pleasure is my shoe shopping addiction, as well as ‘stealing’ my flatmates sweets and pretending it wasn’t me…when you are eating someones elses sweets it doesn’t make you so guilty as you didn’t buy them…

there has been a war raging between the almighty & wise old trees against the young and forthright cranes for century(s – just). for a long time the trees were unstoppable and reigned supreme above all else. at first the trees fought hard against the cranes but they kept getting bigger and stronger until eventually their devastating power�� was too much and there was only clear winner
but now the trees have had enough. and they are fighting back! and harder than ever!
this is only the beginning
