Robin
Remember the promo for Radiohead's 'ParanOid Android’ With the weird cartoon guy.7 Well that was Robin, sometime musician and full-time slacker, whose adventures cow- tipping, killing mime artists, di'iying tight-ass neighbours to suicide are chronicled to a soundtrack of loungecore, hip hop and reggae in a new Video compilation. With dialogue like, ’When I woke up I was lying on the floor, I’d pissed my pants and it was no fun anymore', it's no surprise that Magnus Carlsson's character ended up in the Visuals for Radiol'iead’s pre-inillennial blues.
Robin is re/c-Pasecl by Fabulous Films on Mon 2/ Jul, priced [9. 99.

This spectacular, outdoor performance Will have you craning your neck as the performers defy graVity on a five-metre-high set. Tarzan, eat your heart out.
