Wishmountain - Tesco

Matthew Herbert revives Wishmountain for an album based on Tesco's top 10 selling items. Rack up those Clubcard points here (sadly it's not actually on sale via Tesco's online music shop, although these two Wishmountain tracks are)

Supr Slim Wallet

Thanks to @uncrate I thought I may have finally found a replacement for my custom purple wallet (see below) ....but the Supr Slim Wallet doesn't take notes. I still like to roll Vincent Gallo style.

The Dark Knight Returns - As A Cartoon

After the entertaining but ultimately a bit "hang on what about ... " finale to Christopher Nolan's big screen trilogy, here's another Batman film that might be more satisfying (or totally frustrating) - an animated version of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Pt1 is out in October, Pt2 in 2013. There's a longer trailer here, or you could just read the 1986 comic. It's quite good.
