Maths has always been a big part of music, and I’m not just talking about ‘math metal’ (or prog rock or whatever label you want to give it). There’s long been a school of thought that a number of musicians and composers have used both the “golden ratio” and the Fibonacci Sequence to compose music. [...]

Here’s a little afternoon delight for y’all. Will Ferrell and Dave Grohl live, together, on the one stage, at the same time, together, almost literally… Those two guys seem to complete one another, and the only thing that could have completed this clip would be if they’d started ‘making out’.

The best blog on the planet is back! Blank Shooting has reloaded and is once again firing round after round of… well blanks… off into the world wide web. Critics are calling it the greatest blog to ever exist and the blog most likely to bring about world peace*. In other unrelated news, apparently the [...]

What’s better than a whole butt load of Chuck Norris facts? I’ll tell you what! A whole butt load of Chuck Norris facts read out by the man himself, Mr Chuck Norris.

My EntreCard experiment began. To summarise, my car site wasn’t doing so well in terms of EntreCard. A spot was worth a [...]

“Australia’s Hottest Party Girlâ€, well according to FHM anyway, Krystal Forscutt, is heading to LA to try and break it in the US. Yes, it’s old news, but then, I’m slow, and aren’t big on keeping abreast of current affairs. Aussies may remember Krystal from Big Brother, as the surgically enhanced ‘bombshell’ who seemed to [...]

Swollen Pickles is back online! For the past week or so I’ve been unable to post, or even log in to my WordPress administration panel. After much head scratching and pleading my host managed to fix the problem for me. Apparently it had something to do with the All In One SEO plugin I’d installed. [...]

When I first started SwollenPickles.com I learned very early on that there are people out there that will search long and hard in order to stumble across some Grade A celebrity camel toe. Personally, I liken it to someone who likes train spotting, ie. a strange hobby I cannot understand. Whilst I may not understand [...]

In case you’re a Nine Inch Nails fan, or music fan in general, and haven’t already heard. The latest NIN album ‘Ghosts I-IV’, and instrumental double album, has been released. You can download the first 9 tracks from the NIN.com now. I’ve ordered the double cd set, and in doing so got the ‘one time’Â link [...]

For a moment, watching the second one day international final between Australia and India last night, you may have been forgiven for thinking you’d tuned into the football, or ice hockey. Yes, Australia lost the match, and the final series, but the match will arguably be remember for two things. Firstly, it was cricketing legend, [...]
