Walken into the sunset  #

It's safe to say now that Walken is no more.

I can't say thank-you enough to all of the people who regularly came to our gigs, to the bands that gave us gigs, to the venues that let us dirty up their stages and tap their microphones, and to everyone who bought our CDs, t-shirts and said nice things about us.

Heath and I are still writing music together. We're beginning to form a new band, with the hope of playing gigs "soon".

You can still buy our CD at chaos.com and missinglink.net.au.


Pepsi Light  #

Update: It seems Pepsi Light has been around for ages (the one in the 7-Eleven I visited at lunch was so old it was past it's use by). What is new (I presume) is that it has a new taste. Now to find one...


New adverts for Pepsi Light have hit the streets. My local can seller doesn't stock it yet.

Whatever could it be?

We presume it's a rebranded Diet Pepsi. The colours are the same. But it's a "Fresh New Taste!"

Does it glow in the dark? That would be cool. How can it possibly compete against Pepsi Max? Why would you directly compete against yourself?

Wikipedia says Pepsi Light is "Lemon-flavored Diet Pepsi sold in the 1970s and 1980s, also the name under which Diet Pepsi is distributed outside the English-speaking countries." Obviously not...

It has an official website, www.pepsilight.com.au but it appears to be some kind of horrible flash filled yoof nightmare with YooToob links and other stinky shite (such as Big Brother housemate endorsements).

It seems the marketing campaign is "Pepsi Light, OMG!" OMG? It's certainly what I said when I saw the website...

Isn't saying "Oh my God" one of the deadly sins? What next? Snuff films with product placement?

I'm being a good customer / consumer. I'm trying to find out about your product Mr. PepsiCo and all you do is poo on my head.

It seems destroying your brand is the new thing to do.
