Into The Wild
‘Into The Wild’ is a film directed by Sean Penn, based on the book of the same name which chronicled the true life story of Christopher McCandless – a young American who chose to forgo the comforts of modern life and attempt to live off the land in Alaska, with little experience and even less equipment. He died trying. The soundtrack to the film has been written and performed by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and is available soon.
I found out about this film and Christopher’s story due to Vedder being involved with the soundtrack and found myself intrigued by the story. I’m looking forward to seeing the film when it’s released in cinemas and with any luck the UK release won’t be far behind the US one. Hopefully the film won’t be quite as cheesy as the trailer…

The Vertiplex VTP200
It looks like Birmingham might be on the verge of gaining a truly great tourist attraction. The VTP 200 ‘Vertiplex’ Tower is described as a ‘Vertical Theme Park’ and frankly, it looks pretty amazing! If the design in the video below is realised, it’s going to be awesome and a major draw for Birmingham. I just hope they rename it ‘The Vertiplex’ as opposed to the total naff ‘VTP200′!
As ever more info can be found at BBC Online.

TMOY featured in The Guardian!
Well, the Guardian website at least! The Guardian Media Diary picked up on the Doug Walker story and were kind enough to link to The Middle Of Yesterday and my recent blog post about the music video that Simon Willows shot with Doug outside BBC Radio One. A slightly edited screen shot is above and the original article is here.
With this in mind, I’d like to say thanks to the Guardian for covering Doug Walker’s story and “hello” to any Guardian online readers who are visiting my blog for the first time – 31 of you so far according to my webstats!
