A junglist Priest in Father Ted, The Mighty Boosh's techno mouse and a petrol-smoked hamburger in Men Behaving Badly. It's the top 12 TV clubbing moments.

12: Men Behaving Badly: Mid-life Mishap

Author: Curtis Moldrich Category: Tech News Summary: Sony reveal a no-nonsense MP3 Player with added bass

Sony have unveiled a brand new MP3 Player, designed to appeal to the user who wants to listen to their music with minimum fuzz.

Weighing in at a featherlight 28g, the new USB Walkman is mobile enough for the most demanding user, but also features a host of original features. Most notable is an ominous Bass Boost button, that takes bass levels up a notch, and colour matched LED's that in time with the music.

In addition, the player also has amazing charging speeds. Three minutes of charging time gives enough battery power for 90 minutes of listening.

LINDSTROM

Title: SIX CUPS OF REBEL Author: Stephen Worthy Label: SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND Rating: 4 Summary: This third solo studio album sees Lindstrøm draw in influences from classical baroque, prog rock, Italo house and avant-garde electro-pop.

You could never accuse Hans-Peter Lindstrøm of lacking ambition. Whether it’s with fellow Norwegian partner in crime, Prins Thomas, or on his lonesome, as he is here, Lindstrøm aims for the stars. Perhaps that’s to be expected when you’re one of the leading lights of the cosmic disco sound. His third solo studio album sees Lindstrøm draw in influences from classical baroque, prog rock, Italo house and avant-garde electro-pop. Sprawling across seven extended tracks, it opens with a jolt.
