My not-so secret? I’m a blubberer. I get weepy at tiny animals, internet onions, thoughts of home, and heart-warming stories of people being nice on the tube. I can trace it back to the first time I watched E.T. at my grandmother’s house, and spent the evening wiping my snotty nose into my sleeves. So when I saw Frank Warren’s, founder of PostSecret, TED presentation, I lost it. Watch right through to the end, or skip ahead to 8:30.

I love plums. The smell of them takes me back to being a kid running loose in my aunt and uncle’s orchard. My tribe of cousins and I were forever in trouble for climbing the trees and attempting to scoff all the fruit before it was ripe (hello tummy aches). We’d tear strips of fluffy lichen off the plum trees, and fashion them as beards, and attempt to feed plums to the ponies in the next paddock. These delicious, juicy little fruits are in season now and what better way to make the most of their abundance than by making plum-cake? This recipe/video by Thomas Blanchard is particularly tasty – I love the floating typography.

A cut n’ paste job on Mad Men to create a version of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. Sensational.

Venice in a Day from Joerg Niggli on Vimeo.
Oh, take me there! I have a week off work in less than a month, and I’ve been a bit tardy about organising somewhere to go. Cornwall? Switzerland? Paris? I was thinking of Genoa too, but Venice, you look gorgeous.

Long time CFS favourites Gaggle have released the first single from their new album From The Mouth Of The Cave is called Army Of Birds. Do what it says on the packet – watch full screen (change the settings to HD) and pop your headphones on. Lovely, and a little bit trippy.

This looks good, in a big, flashy Bazza way. While waiting for Christmas to come (why tease us now?) I must remember to watch the 1974 version (starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow).

Breakfast by Le Le is one of the funniest songs ever, yet somehow pulls off a divine video, animated by Parra.

There’s something sinister and not quite right about falling breakfast foods…

Dressed smart like a London Bloke,
Before he speak his suit bespoke,
And you thought he was cute before,
Look at this peacoat, tell me he’s broke.
He may seem like a bit of a tosser, but Kanye is lyrically brilliant. I’ve always loved this song, and in particular these lines.
