Helloooooo! And welcome to the 108th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

This week we've made a song with bunnies in for USBCell. It's got a manatee too, and it's very very lovely indeed! Have a look:

The other main thing to tell you about this week is that I'm going to be speaking at ROFLCon, which is going to be totally the most fun thing ever in the history of everything! Have a look at the list of guests! I am SO looking forward to meeting all these guys:

In other news I was really chuffed to see boingboing being nice about our internet cats:

I guess that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you! I love you so HARD! I'd do anything for you! I'd pull all of my body hair out by the roots! All the body hair, from all the bits of my body! I'd use that hair to stuff a little doll of myself for you! And you can sleep with the doll pressed up to your face, knowing that it is full of the hair from my most intimate places! LUCKY YOU! I'd totally do that for you! I'm out of unstuffed fabric Joel dolls at the moment I'm afraid so it might have to wait until I have some more in, but if I did have the doll I'd be stuffing it with bumhair for you RIGHT NOW!

Mwah mwah! Extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Helloooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 107th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

Well, the big news today is that we've got a new album out! YEAH! It's called Spongs In The Key Of Life, and it is the absolute pinnacle of human achievement! We've taken 34 delicious songs and put them together in an album and you can get it from Amazon or iTunes or whatever and it's BRILLIANT!

Here's a link to it on Amazon UK

Here's a link to it on Amazon in the United States of America!

It will be on your friendly local Amazon if you're elsewhere. Or iTunes, or whatever. This album is download only – I'm not planning on doing physical CDs as it was a major pain in the neck doing CDs for Danger Is Dangerous. So there.

In other news I did a spot on Sky News last Friday, then stayed around to be on the panel for Technology Unplugged. I've whacked it up on youtube if you're interested- look!

The Ridiculant was absolutely LOVELY about me in The Metro this week! Have a look!

Hooray for The Ridiculant!

I think that's about it for this week, except to tell you that I love you. I really do! I'd do anything for you! I'd make you my special custard as a treat! My special “custard” made from blood and tears and the stuff from inside my eyeballs which I have to suck out with a syringe! It really is horrible putting the needle into my eye because I can see it and stuff and then it really hurts sucking out the juice but the “custard” is SO GOOD YOU'LL LOVE IT!

I'D TOTALLY DO THAT FOR YOU!

I've run out of needles though so I can;t make it right now. But if I had the needles I would TOTALLY make it for you RIGHT NOW!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs I LOVE YOU OH GOD YOU SMELL LOVELY

Yours sincerely

The Ridiculant gave me a LOVELY mention The Metro yesterday! Have a look!

http://theridiculant.metro.co.uk/2010/01/cats-what-the-internet-is-made-of.html

I did my usual spot talking about the stories being talked about on the internet, then stayed around to be on the panel for Technology Unplugged. The other guests were Hermione Way and Ollie Mann.

Hellooooooooo! And welcome to the 106th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have a massive treat for you today! The Internet Is Made Of Cats! FACT! Look!

http://www.rathergood.com/cats

You see? DO YOU? NOW YOU KNOW! YES!

And look! There's even more! HAM! LOOK! HAM!

In other news, it was No Pants On The Subway Day the other day, and our mate Rammi ended up being the poster girl for the event, wearing a wonderful We Like The Moon tshirt. Look!

The Guardian has video here

As Rammi herself says, it would probably have been more appropriate in an I Like Your Pants tshirt. Next year I expect that will be the uniform of choice.

I'll be on Sky News tonight doing a double spot – I'll be on a bit after 7 talking about the day's stories on the internet, and then staying on to be on the technology panel at 7.30. We'll be talking about internets and computers and that sort of thing. You can watch it if you fancy.

I think that about covers it for this week, except to tell you that I love you. I love you so hard I'd give you my organs! I'd slice up my abdomen and tie a rope to each of my organs, and I'd tie each rope to a rocket, and I'd aim the rockets at your house, and I'd fire them off! They'd land at your front door! Rockets raining down on your house trailing all my organs! Just for you! I'd do that for you to make you love me back! I'd TOTALLY DO IT FOR YOU!

I'm not sure where I'd get the rockets though so it might have to wait. I'm out of rope as well. So maybe not today. But I totally would if I had rockets and ropes! Because I love you SO HARD!

Mwah Mwah extrasuperduperhugs and big sloppy kisses!

Yours sincerely
