<br />
I found some Childish Gambino acapellas so I figured I'd mix them with One Direction and Taylor Swift. Obvs.<br />

Still no music. I'm sorry. How every, I got a little excited about something that happened on twitter earlier.<br />
<br />
I wrote a tweet to <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/rickygervais" target="_blank">Ricky Gervais </a>and he happened to retweet it. From this came lots of retweets and replies (mostly to him, but with my name in the tweet too). It got a bit much and I was tempted to turn off my phone until it all passed. But whilst scrolling through all the replies one jumped out at me. <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/sourmashmusic/status/161114535539908608" target="_blank">This one</a>, by a user named <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/sourmashmusic/" target="_blank">Peter Cornish-Barlow</a>. It reads "I started following because I have one of your mash-up's on my iPod and its aces. Didn't realise you were on Twitter!". Oh, by the way, the guys owns a record label. And has my music on his iPod. That made me happy.<br />
<br />
That is all.

<br />
My first "live" mix. I've been meaning to do a "live" DJ set, and record it, for a while now and figured a 2011 mix would be the best opportunity to do it.<br />
<br />
I didnt really plan it to much, just went through my iTunes looking for songs I enjoyed/played a lot this year. After I finished I realised I missed a few out. It was all done using the iPhone app "DJay".<br />
<br />
I took the finished file in to soundforge and cleaned up some big mistakes but I left little ones. So there is some sketchy pitch areas and some not so fantastic mixing. But thats what I would expect from my first attempt. Track list is as follows<br />
<br />
Ni**as In Paris - Jay-Z & Kanye West<br />
All Of The Lights (Remix) - Kanye West ft. Lil Wayne, Drake & Big Sean<br />
Headlines - Drake<br />
I Need a Doctor - Dr. Dre Feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey<br />
Good Girls Go Bad - Game feat. Drake<br />
Wands - The Midnight Beast<br />
Bonfire - Childish Gambino<br />
Black And Yellow - Wiz Khalifa Feat. Juicy J, Snoop Dogg & T-Pain<br />
(Was meant to put Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks around here too....but I guess I forgot)<br />
Lord Knows - Drake feat. Rick Ross<br />
I Just Had Sex - The Lonely Island Feat. Akon<br />
(I Was also meant to put Lil Wayne 6 foot 7 in here)<br />
Fastlane - Royce Da 5'9" & Eminem<br />
Too Many Rappers [New Reactionaries Version - Beastie Boys Featuring Nas<br />
Otis - Jay-Z & Kanye West Feat. Otis Redding<br />
Young Wild And Free - Snoop Dogg And Wiz Khalifa Feat. Bruno Mars<br />

Didn't really add anything, just moved the original parts around, really. Sounds alright. Zero intention of actualling winning anything. All the other remixers worked hard on theirs. Play it below.<br /><br />I enjoy using <a href="http://www.soundcloud.com">soundcloud</a> to host my stuff. Tempted to migrate a lot of my music over there.<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F25833336&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=5588aa"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F25833336&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=5588aa" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/hippomothamus/01-charmed-life-hippomothamus">Icebird - Charmed Life (Hippomothamus Remix)</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/hippomothamus">Hippomothamus</a></span>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-67885994538604488802011-01-10T10:52:00.000-08:002011-10-21T09:13:45.993-07:00Linkin Park - Catalyst (Hippomothamus Remix)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWopGpbN5HPZPGAxxfoz2StXN90FEWM8_XdgLQI7v-J3VAy7dypIgxs3d2Y7zJmS3waIdQ797mLv25rdG1cXiycjlfmCyfI_glG3k0Kbobgk-2uNEd8cU8qSodOXu5nwDiDIcaEVilZ6eG/s1600/catalyst.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 190px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWopGpbN5HPZPGAxxfoz2StXN90FEWM8_XdgLQI7v-J3VAy7dypIgxs3d2Y7zJmS3waIdQ797mLv25rdG1cXiycjlfmCyfI_glG3k0Kbobgk-2uNEd8cU8qSodOXu5nwDiDIcaEVilZ6eG/s320/catalyst.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560635452661968674" border="0" /></a><br />I made this song a while back when Linkin Park first announced the contest and I never really liked it. It stayed dormant on my hard drive like so many other songs. I was going through my old stuff to let my girlfriend listen to it. She didn't really understand at first that it was me that had remixed what she had just heard and upon learning told me I should upload it. It also gave me a good excuse to create and test out a <a href="http://soundcloud.com/hippomothamus">soundcloud.com</a> account.<br /><br />I'm not really sure this counts as a "remix" as such. But I'm not sure what it IS. The original can be heard <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51iquRYKPbs">here</a>. They released the parts of the song on their myspace before the song was actually released so it made it hard to know what the original was meant to sound like. They also didn't put in the synthy bit thats in the original. Unfortunately.<br /><br />Also, happy New Year. I hope that me putting this out will encourage me to make more music this year.<br /><br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8961503&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=5588aa"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8961503&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=5588aa" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/hippomothamus/catalyst-linkin-park-remix">Catalyst (Linkin Park Remix)</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/hippomothamus">Hippomothamus</a></span>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-89209830352790442942010-02-21T17:27:00.000-08:002010-02-21T17:47:30.555-08:00Rage Against Florence and the Machine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpdlrm9GpRIsXnIrBc0ZY1oRSw0ltzrB-7wtkfkW5iJwe2ODlX7OdYB2eNwKZYe1SPy2R4shfo3ty5E0sG_9PHJbv4HI93UsxSxdMsyidwCT_Qi3nGq9EAP8Mg_iIwOsG7kMSHZYrR21gK/s1600-h/Rage+against+florence+and+the+machine.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpdlrm9GpRIsXnIrBc0ZY1oRSw0ltzrB-7wtkfkW5iJwe2ODlX7OdYB2eNwKZYe1SPy2R4shfo3ty5E0sG_9PHJbv4HI93UsxSxdMsyidwCT_Qi3nGq9EAP8Mg_iIwOsG7kMSHZYrR21gK/s320/Rage+against+florence+and+the+machine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440878375718914498" border="0" /></a><br />So I know I've said a few times that I'm going to cut back on making mashups. But sometimes, when I'm in the shower, an idea comes to me that I find so funny I have to do it. So I made my <a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2008/12/q-who-would-be-crazy-enough-to-make-dmx.html">busta rhymes/alphabeat</a> mashup based solely on the fact the videos sort of looked alike but this mashup was made just because of the name. It mixes Rage Against the Machine with Florence and the Machine. Rage Against Florence and the Machine. Clever huh.<br /><br />The song its self is sort of like a night with me. Seems like it could be a good idea but feels very dirty and has an unsatisfying ending. And lasts about 2 and half minutes.<br /><br />Hippomothamus - Rage Against Florence and the Machine: <a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/21/139785/Hippomothamus/Hippomothamus%20-%20Rage%20Against%20Florance%20and%20the%20Machine.mp3">Download</a> [mp3]<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/21/139785/blogger_tools/audio_player/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/21/139785/blogger_tools/audio_player/player.swf"><br /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/21/139785/Hippomothamus/Hippomothamus%20-%20Rage%20Against%20Florance%20and%20the%20Machine.mp3"><br /><param name="quality" value="high"><br /><param name="menu" value="false"><br /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><br /></object>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-57708553206693519822010-02-17T11:07:00.000-08:002010-02-17T11:33:16.319-08:00Facebook problemSo I accidentally had my facebook page set up to only allow people from the UK to be fans (whoops) so if you tried to add me PLEASE try again.

One of the things I’ve always hoped to do with my music is show that not all hip-hop/rap is naughty words and violent situations. I decided I would put together a little mix CD with a collection of rap tracks (and some other samples) that show the softer side, specifically the appreciation of the fairer sex. To be honest I could of just of thrown together a bunch of tracks by LL Cool J and Common but I decided to dig a little deeper into my collection (although, there is two LL songs…) (coincidently as I write this I’m also watching a 30 Rock episode which stars Mr Smith)<br /><br />So for guys I’ve created a CD, injected with my patented charm, which you can give to your special lady to show much you appreciate them. For single girls I’ve created a CD which, when listened to, will hopefully refill your confidence in us and make you feel like the princesses you are. We’re not all bastards, honest.<br /><br />As well as the CD you can also download the “case” for it. Essentially it’s a design that fills a piece of paper that will keep your CD safe and looking good. Its based on this <a href="http://www.papercdcase.com/about.php">guide</a> (which you will want to use). There is 4 different versions. Two have a background, two don’t (to save ink). One of each has the guide lines for folding correctly.<br /><br />If you’d like to support this please feel free to throw a little money towards the <a href="http://www.bhf.org.uk/donate/default.aspx">British Heart Foundation</a>. Everyone needs a heart.<br /><br />I’ll also take this opportunity to mention that I’ve set up a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hippomothamus/287888458931">facebook</a> fan page.

Also, Jay-Z listens to me (maybe)This is going to be a small 2 part blog<br /><br />First I'm quite shocked and happy to say I was a runner up in <a href="http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/">acapellas4u's</a> mega mix contest that I blogged about <a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2009/07/little-mega-mix-by-me.html">here</a>. Here's what the CutUpBoys had to say about it:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Absolutely brilliant. Balances gracefully on the line between cool and fun. You're still smiling at the Spongebob kick off as you get into a consistently headnodding sequence of tracks that all flow nicely into each other whilst being interesting and never letting go of the groove. The acapellas and samples sew everything together really nicely. The production is nice and tight and tidy and the arrangement never feels rushed or boring. Great party mix.</span><br /><br />Preview/download <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/62501560adb5af80/">here</a><br /><br />It earned me $250 to spend at <a href="http://www.midi-store.com">http://www.midi-store.com</a>. What should I buy?<br /><br />Thanks to acapellas4u and the CutUpBoys<br />--<br /><br />Now for the second part. So I was listening to Zane Lowes radio show on BBC Radio 1 last week when he interviewed Jay-Z. Zane played a remix of 99 problems with Wonderwall (not mine) and asked Jay if he had heard it. He said no but said he had heard another version of it. Now although I wasn't the only one to do this remix a little bit of me would like to think it was mine he had heard. Especially since its such a popular result on <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=99+problems+wonderwall">google</a> achieving not 1, but 3, results on the first page when searching "99 problems wonderwall" :)<br /><br />If you haven't heard mine check it <a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2008/06/jay-z-99-problems-oasis-remix.html">here</a>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-82781543891889769782009-07-11T18:14:00.000-07:002009-07-11T18:26:37.837-07:00A little mega mix by meSo <a href="http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/">acapellas4u</a> was hosting a contest for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megamix">megamixes</a>. I had never made a megamix and I knew it involved a couple of things I didn't know how to do so seeing as I like to push my self, every now and again, I figured I'd give it a try.<br /><br />This was actually my third attempt at one and it lacked an ending up until about 2 hours before the contest was over so the start fairs slightly better than the end.<br /><br />It also kind of brings back a few things I had done/attempted to do when I first got into making music.<br /><br />I cant be bothered with a track list but it features a bit of Beastie Boys, Jay-z, Spongebob Squarepants, Futurama, Due South, Common and a couple other artists.<br /><br />Preview/download <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/62501560adb5af80/">here</a>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-28063039231154052992009-03-22T05:12:00.000-07:002009-03-22T05:16:34.482-07:00Feel free to vote for my mash upsJust a little update.<br /><br />So I've added a bunch of my videos to the wonderful site <a href="http://www.mashup-charts.com/">Mashup-Charts</a> so feel free to vote for <a href="http://www.mashup-charts.com/artist/?bootlegger=Hippomothamus">my videos</a>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-72265929834811342242008-12-09T15:13:00.000-08:002010-01-26T17:04:57.080-08:00Q: Who would be crazy enough to make dmx dance to Alphabeat?A: Hippomothamus<br /><br />Ever since I started playing around with putting videos to my music I wanted to remix these 2 songs, mainly due to the fact <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabeat">alphabeat</a> clearly stole the video idea for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvD6maGRh7c">fascination</a> from busta's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_DWMJc0_RQ&feature=related">touch it (remix)</a><br /><br />This was the first time using premiere pro that I actually did some things. Normally I just go in, slap the 2 vids together, and upload it. This involved some lovely cropping and some nicely timed cuts between the two videos. The remix its self is pretty poor. Especially dmx's part, how ever he makes up for it with his dancing at 4:15. It's also making use of the lovely new widescreen feature on youtube, a feature I've yet to use (mainly because I couldn't crop my other videos).<br /><br />Peep it below, or watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAbMHiHhaK8">here</a> and get it in lovely widescreen and stuffs.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="334"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DAbMHiHhaK8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DAbMHiHhaK8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="334"></embed></object><br /><br />Hippomothamus - Touch it (Remix) / Fascination (Busta Rhymes / Alphabeat mash): <a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/21/139785/Hippomothamus/Hippomothamus%20-%20Touch%20It%20x%20Fascination.mp3">Download</a> [mp3]<br /><br />[edit: URL for download fixed]Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-86592071552022617892008-11-20T15:45:00.001-08:002008-11-20T18:46:17.425-08:00Got bebo?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGS8v5-WezTuYBZjn0ulQrwoYdA-pIey09NRg8OzleuJ6ZE9kHBZMBxvL01E0SJh-LamZJR64CKzfaeVDTLq0QMtUZnBfBcnqv1UqjOPWQefpGhjt5-IsmJLFHSw5xZh9Q2WFIIKpoKUMx/s1600-h/bebo-skin.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGS8v5-WezTuYBZjn0ulQrwoYdA-pIey09NRg8OzleuJ6ZE9kHBZMBxvL01E0SJh-LamZJR64CKzfaeVDTLq0QMtUZnBfBcnqv1UqjOPWQefpGhjt5-IsmJLFHSw5xZh9Q2WFIIKpoKUMx/s200/bebo-skin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270892231263407778" border="0" /></a>Yes, I know its lame, but I use it ok?<br /><br />Anyway if you do happen to have the <a href="http://www.bebo.com/">aol run social network</a> then you may just want to spruce up your page with a rather lovely <a href="http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?PreviewSkinId=8178233635">hippomothamus skin</a> (you'll need to be logged into bebo).<br /><br />Whilst your at it you can also become a fan of my <a href="http://www.bebo.com/hippomothamus">bebo music page</a> (despite it being a page I cant update with music any more due to something called "copyright infringement").Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-6679996556514426802008-11-11T14:19:00.000-08:002008-11-11T14:28:45.777-08:00My third Ting Tings remix video.

Essentially it was going to be a reference to the whole situation with Noel Gallagher claiming that hip-hop shouldn't be aloud at Glastonbury and generally being an ignorant tool.<br /><br />I had the idea of mixing Wonderwall with 99 Problems for shits and giggles, and then considered doing a little remix ep (which I think I will). Then jay comes out and does a cover of Wonderwall and follows it with 99 problems, figures. Now my slightly original idea lost its originality.<br /><br />Anyways, here it is. Stay tuned for more tracks, maybe.<br /><br />Also, note, this was my first attempt at remixing with video.<br /><br /><object height="334" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CM308vcuKRw&hl=en&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CM308vcuKRw&hl=en&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="334"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM308vcuKRw">Hippomothamus - 99 Problems / Wonderwall (Jay-Z/Oasis remix)</a> [youtube]<br /><br />Edit: MP3 available <a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2008/07/jay-z-99-problems-oasis-remix-mp3.html">here</a>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-74864257695561109552008-06-10T16:03:00.000-07:002008-06-11T05:41:00.392-07:00We Started Mashing (The Ting Tings Mashup)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-smBKw-unLVJ_5bGrF1ZIp73fSx1TBcxlIR3tcnVHIVt1BbscDMBI9XwQMEW9hTpfkBzyIFGvsMgAgTbi7UkxECCZf5ovpbqeLDoQaALvuRC1juwFoi-dVrLR2nxQLyl-2Cemp3R86XBV/s1600-h/folder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-smBKw-unLVJ_5bGrF1ZIp73fSx1TBcxlIR3tcnVHIVt1BbscDMBI9XwQMEW9hTpfkBzyIFGvsMgAgTbi7UkxECCZf5ovpbqeLDoQaALvuRC1juwFoi-dVrLR2nxQLyl-2Cemp3R86XBV/s320/folder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210393253804488482" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Well,<br /><br />I'm back with my first mixtape since "<a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2007/11/rhyming-in-rainbows.html">rhyming in rainbows</a>". I must say I was slightly overwhelmed by the reviews and what not it got. Seeing people talk about something I created and showing their appreciation's for my work was a real confidence booster. So I'd like to say thanks to people such as <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/wonky_blog/13335.html">wonky_blog</a>, <a href="http://boombaphiphop.com/hippomothamus-rhyming-in-rainbows/">Boom Bap Hip Hop</a> and <a href="http://ohwnt.blogspot.com/2007/12/hippomothamus-rhyming-in-rainbows.html">Oh, Warfair & Therapy</a> to name a few.<br /><br />But yeah, the ting tings. So I'd heard their song "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPNIYuDZZpU">Great DJ</a>" quite a bit and had started to hear "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UX0p7uAW2s">That's not my name</a>. At first I was a bit iffy with them but their rather 'unique' sound found its way in to my head. I was at a party a couple weeks back where a friend stuck on their album, "We Started Nothing". As I sat their listening to the album (a lot of which is instrumental) I thought to my self "meh, I could mash up this album". So I did.<br /><br />Now I must say that this is in no way a Rhyming in Rainbows 2: Electric Boogaloo or anything. I put a lot of work into that mixtape where as this project was, for the most part, just cutting loops and laying the raps over them. But that doesn't mean its a bad mixtape, 'cause it aint. But that's just my opinion... So yeah. The ting tings.....mashed up....with common, mos def, beasties etc etc bla bla.

OutSo you've downloaded my <a href="http://www.hippomothamus.co.uk/2007/11/rhyming-in-rainbows.html">rhyming in rainbows</a> mixtape and all my other wonderful remixes, right? And now your asking "how can I show my love for this fantastic human being", right? Well lucky for you I have an answer. T-shirts and hoodies, duh.<br /><br />You can pick-up a variety of items in a variety of colours for a variety of sexes (....ok, there's only 2) featuring the hippomothamus logo over at<a href="http://www.afternoontees.com/"> Afternoon Tees</a> at delightfully low prices. The site itself is still in its early stages of development but it already has a handful of fabulous designs on it so feel free to check them out too.<br /><br />Below is a handful of items with the logo on them.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://afternoontees.com/store/mens/cpshop.cgi/mendtees.hippomothamus-249687249+hippomothamus-dark-t-shirt.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://images.cafepress.com/product/249687249v3_240x240_Front_Color-MilitaryGreen.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://afternoontees.com/store/mens/cpshop.cgi/menbj.hippomothamus-249687223+hippomothamus-baseball-jersey.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://images.cafepress.com/product/249687223v5_240x240_Front_Color-BlueWhite.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://afternoontees.com/store/womens/cpshop.cgi/womdtees.hippomothamus-249687236+hippomothamus-womens-dark-t-shirt.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://images.cafepress.com/product/249687236v3_240x240_Front_Color-Red.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://afternoontees.com/store/mens/cpshop.cgi/menhoods.hippomothamus-249687222+hippomothamus-hooded-sweatshirt.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://images.cafepress.com/product/249687222v6_240x240_Front_Color-White.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572339338934633491.post-80949315274723925022008-03-10T21:37:00.000-07:002008-04-20T07:35:54.755-07:00Muck Ficrosoft<a href="http://www.ripten.com/2008/03/10/xbox-360-price-drop-live-on-amazoncouk">I knew it</a>....<br /><br />So I recently bought an xbox 360 off ebay for £300 with 7 games. I was going to hold out a few more months as I was only really waiting for <a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/">gta IV</a> to drop. I also thought it would be best to wait in case there was a price drop, but I figured there probably wouldn't be. Plus I had some money burning in my pocket. So I bought one. imagine my delight as I'm on the <a href="http://digg.com">digg</a> home page and I see the title <span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://digg.com/xbox/Confirmed_Xbox_360_Price_Cut_Now_Cheaper_Than_Wii">Confirmed: Xbox 360 Price-Cut, Now Cheaper Than Wii</a></span>. Awesome.<br /><br />Meh, at least its made the past few weeks rather enjoyable. I'm currently playing skate and burnout the most. If you want to beat me at either of them feel free to add me. My gamertag is, surprisingly, <a href="http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=Hippomothamus">hippomothamus</a>. Incidental, I just finished an on-line session on burnout and found enjoyment in 2 guys (Canadians, I believe) trying to pronounce my name. On one of the races I won one of them even made reference to me being a "<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=8HPI_HT6yjo">Hungry Hungry Hippo</a>"Hippomothamushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942764367280333631noreply@blogger.com1
