The long, long, long awaited release of the album once entitled “Upravleniye Obtrosami” (Waste Management) will be the Tuesday, October 21, according to a statement released on the t.A.T.u. official website.

I’m personally quite a fan of this new song, and really hope it is an indication of the songs to come!
If you haven’t heard Fall Out Boy’s new mixtape, then you probably haven’t heard Cobra Starship’s cover of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl,” obviously titled “I Kissed A Boy.”
I can’t get enough of this song, the Cobra Starship cover, not the Katy Perry original. Just one of the many reasons why Cobra Starship are fucking awesome.
Listen to the song below…

t.A.T.u. did a really really awesome photoshoot for Dorogoye Udovolstviye magazine back in April this year. These are some wallpapers I threw together so I could enjoy the photoshoot, underneath all the icons on my desktop.

Have you ever wondered how many leauges there were in a furlong? Well, if you asked anyone from Liberia, Myanmar or The United States, they would probably be able to tell you.
“A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes.” – wikipedia
QR-Codes can be read with any camera phone that has a barcode reader installed. Telstra have started using these codes in their advertising to give users access to free downloads like ringtones and stuff, and all recent Telstra phones have the barcode reader applications pre-installed.
If you don’t have this installed, you can get a similar application for free from BeeTagg.
There are plenty of websites that generate these QR-Codes, which can be used to encode not only text messages, but instructions to tell mobiles to access websites, send an SMS, or make a phone call to a certain number.
This is really really cool stuff, I just stumbled to a page about it, and felt like I should share it with you! Download and install the application to your phone, and test out the online code generators!
