I don't normally post videos on this blog anymore. I post over on BEANBURNER. But i thought i'd post this up as i love the end of series best bits soo much. I got a bit teary again last night during the final, it happens every year! Really glad Josie won. Goodbye BB11! (Oooh i really hope Ultimate BB is gonna be ok).

BIG BROTHER 11 - PHOTOS (Finished Set)

MY ULTIMATE BIG BROTHER

The final of BB11 is on in about an hour. Quick! Before the ultimate housemates are announced i thought i would do my own list of my ultimate housemates from all 11 series and the 7 celebrity series. As a Big Brother über fan who has watched pretty much every episode from every series i feel i'm qualified for the job. I've completely given up even trying to hide how sad and pathetic i am.

Here are my TOP 70 BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATES.

These are the ones that have stuck in my mind for whatever reason. I didn't necessary like them..in most of the cases i hated them! But they're the ones that have made me laugh the most, made me screw up my face the most, and made me scream the most. They were the most entertaining to me in my sad little BB Bubble..my REAL freiends, ha!

OLO RADIO - MY FAVOURITES

So yeah.....we killed OLO Radio. It's gone but not forgotten. In this post i will list my favourite 10 Guest mixes and my favourite 10 mixes that i made. It's been a really tough decision, really it has! These aren't necessarily the best made mixes, or the ones that include my favourite music, they are my favourites for different reasons. Maybe it's the 'feel' of the mix, or the fact it's different sounding to the rest. Sorry friends if your mix isn't included. They are'nt in any order so ignore the order they are listed in. I won't bother writing anything about them, just have a listen!

'OLO TEAM 05 - UNDER THE INFLUENCE (Part 1)'


We were asked recently to DJ at a night called 'Under The Influence' where you are asked to play music (and in our case other things) that has influenced you and your music in some way. Click HERE to see photos from the night. Instead of posting a list of the things we played we have decided to make podcasts of all the tracks we played and some more extra ones..making up about 2% of all our influences..we havn't got the time to make another 50 or so mixes and we're guessing you don't have the time/patience either. It's been hard, but somehow we have managed to whittle down a good selection of our favourite and most influential bands, singers, artists, albums, films, directors, comedians, sportsmen, celebrities, etc into 3 different podcasts.

So this is number 1 in a series of 3 'Under The Influence' podcasts. Parts 2 & 3 coming soon!

OLO RADIO - THE END

Yes sadly after 5 great years of broadcasting (live and in podcast form) we have decided to call it a day here at OLO Radio. We'll write more next week about why we decided to stop. We'll also be posting up some stats, facts and figures for the eggheads amongst you. You can still listen to and download ALL the podcasts right here right now. The blog won't be deleted. We've collected up ALL 134 of the podcasts so they are safe. Hopefully we'll work out a good way to get them all to you.

We'll get back to you next week,

The OLO Radio Team
xxxx

>UPDATE - 24th AUGUST 2010<

Hello again,

This is just a bit of a round-up and a final goodbye from the OLO Radio team.

Maybe we should tell you why we decided to stop podcasting mixes. During the end of last year and the beginning of this year we really fell behind with making new mixes and updating the itunes podcast feed. The number of mixes we put out was really poor compared to the number in past years. I think most of the team lost interest in doing the mixes and had less time to make them due to a number of things. So we decided to stop. There's no point just doing just a few a year. Stop it! kill it! do something new! (more on that in a bit).

We've left you with 134 OLO Radio mixes to listen to / download whenever you ever want to. As we said in the message above, when we manage to upload them all (it's gonna take a while!) we'll post links up here on this blog for you to download the whole lot.

We've really enjoyed running OLO Radio! In all the different forms its taken - the weekly live online radio streams, the pre-mixed podcasts, the live DJing (in the real world), and even within our OLO Worms live sets. It's been a lot of fun! We've really enjoyed having the special guest mixes made for OLO Radio too. So thanks to all the guests who made mixes for us and a BIG thank you to anyone who tuned into our radio signal. Cheers! x

Here are some final lists, facts and figures..

OLO Radio
Sept 2005 - June 2010

Total podcasts = 134
Guest podcasts = 57
OLO podcasts = 77
Boonbeans 1>40
Delifinger 1>19
Lionheart 1>7
Seaweed 1>3
OLO Team 1>8

Total downloads = 21,174
(via iTunes and RSS feed, not including downloads from the blog)

We don't have records of all the live shows so we won't be posting the odd few. Just imagine how bad they were.

You can check out ALL the podcast posters and tracklists on this blog. Have a root around. Use the search bar/tags on the right hand side if you want to look for a certain artist or podcast maker.

Below are lists of ALL the OLO and Guest podcasts. Click to enlarge..


The most downloaded podcasts were..
OLO > BB36 'Purple Heart' = 332
Guest > G49 - Zun Zun Egui = 279

The 1st song ever played on OLO Radio = LCD Soundsystem 'Losing My Edge'
(live show - 15th Sept 2005)

The last song played by an OLO member = Frank Sinatra 'My Way'
(BB40 - 18th Feb 2010)


So that's that!!

AND THEN...ALIENS (New Comic, Coming Soon)

QUICKLY ROUND ME UP PLEASE BEFORE WE MOVE ON

I want to get into the habit of writing something everyday whether it be typed on here or written in my sketch books and scanned in. I go through phases of wanting to write about what i'm doing and phases when i don't, i'm always thinking about the best way to do this. I'll try some new things starting from tomorrow.

OK, so this is a very quick short round up of whats been happening with me over the past few months before i start to post daily. Let's see what happens. I'll be putting more effort into everything, apart from my grammar and spelling. For now this is just a boring blog entry i'm afraid.

For the last 6 weeks i've been working. A JOB! SHOCK! I won't say where but if you follow me on twitter you'll probably know. It's a very very very normal standard job. The kind of job a 16 year old would do on a weekend for a few extra quid to buy a comic. There's not much to say really other than it's keeping me afloat just about. I start my shift at 5am and finish around 11am most days. This means i'm having to go to bed at about 9/10pm which is very hard, especially when my room is downstairs and connected to the living room. I don't know how long i'll be there, i'm gonna start looking for other work soon. Jobs meh! Rather than boring you with any tales from work i'll glue them in my sketch books and you'll have to suss out what's happening.

It hasn't really sunk in yet but just over a week ago we (OLO Worms) supported Steve Mason in Bristol. You can have a look at the photos HERE. Read what i wrote on the OLO blog HERE (pretty much the same here). In the Beta Band Steve Mason was a bit of a hero of mine growing up so it was a big deal when we got asked to do it. I won't go on anymore about him as it's embarrassing, i'll keep it to myself. I was soo pleased it all went really well. It was probably our best gig we've ever played. It felt like everything clicked into place, the songs were stronger, the lights looked good, we were more confident...i think this mayhave been due to the Pink Panther intro music we walked onto, it really put me at ease. We got a really great review in Venue magazine which you can read HERE.

The gig before this last one at the Bristol Harbour Festival was less successful. We weren't at our best and there were errors. It was a good day though. Photos can be seen HERE, the report on the OLO blog can be read HERE, and a review can be read HERE.

OLO Worms won't be playing live again now til we have something recorded. We really need to focus on recording. We have soo much to do.

We recently chose to finish OLO Radio. I'll write a blog about that later. I have a few new things starting soon. 'Hoops' and 'And Then...Aliens'. Watch this space. World Cup Squad's finished music is being worked on now. Hopefully it'll be posted up soon.

Big Brother is nearly all over. You won't believe me but i'm pleased. I love it but i need it to stop. I'm gonna post up a special BB blog tomorrow ahead of the final.

I really need Artie Byrd to come rescue me. I'm soo unfit and out of shape. This will change! Everything will change this week!!

It's my big countdown to 30. I'm thinking about it alot at the moment. 30 years on earth. WOW!

HEINZ JUNKINS - THE NEXT LEVEL (Don't Look Down)

Watch out!! I've got an iphone! Handed down to me by my Brother. It was only a matter of time before. Now is the time to delete me, un-bookmark, un-follow, or whatever you want to do. Next week i'll be catching up on things, i'll be getting this blog up to date, getting all the musical projects up to speed, planning events, and starting a few new projects ('Hooops', 'Beansonbread Zine #2' & 'And Then'). No time to write much now as i'm off for the weekend. If you're still on my side you can follow me on Twitter HERE.

090810

Today was pretty uneventful. Watched the last few episodes of 'Curb' series 7, which were brilliant as ever. I ate too much food again....I hate my body again. I updated this here blog with loads of recent photos and pictures which has given me back ache. I wanna write more but for now i'll start off slowly with badly written, boring entries like this. It's gonna be relaxed, not thought through dribble. The bad spelling and the bad grammar days are back! This blog has gone through alot of changes over the years. Here's another change. This is me now. Bedtime now (9.35pm) as i gotta get up at 4am for work. I'd like to go swimming now, or just have a cold bath. But i'm gonna struggle in bed. I'll probably dream of the sea and get eaten by a shark again. Good night.
