For fans of just about any type of new, chilled out music, Mercedes Benz realeases a free album every 6-8 weeks of new, generally unknown artists. Volume 16 was released on the 27th February, and giving it a listen now, it's pretty damn good, especially at the price they're offering - free! Each volume is themed to fit with one of their cars. This volume is made to match the new C-Class, and it definitely does that well with a young, acid-jazzy feel, whilst still holding onto that Mercedes level of class.

So it's Oscar nomination time of year again, and many of us are going to pile into crowded cinemas in West Philly to hear people shouting at the heroine "Don't open the door girlfriend!" or laughing in the sad parts, or screaming in the scary parts, of this years nominations. Then, when it actually comes to oscar night, you still haven't seen three quarters of the movies, especially not the foreign language ones, which are never showing anywhere nearby and are generally the best of the lot. And finally, to top it all off, the final judging is done by a panel of people who, it seems, were selected expressly for their lack of touch with reality and inability to give the honours to the people who truly deserve them most. All in all, a balls-up.

Well, along come those fantastic Swedes who started the Pirate Bay torrent site. They've started a new site called OscarTorrents.com. You can go there RIGHT NOW and download every single movie that is up for an oscar nomination. After watching them, you can then vote for which you think should win in each category. They have every single nominee available, illegally, but available nontheless. So, grab your favourite BitTorrent client, and head over to OscarTorrents.com. It'll help you a lot with your procrastination efforts!

This is proof that just because you own a massive luxury sedan, it doesn't mean you're a gas guzzler. Here, Jeremy from Top Gear manages to drive an Audi A8 800 miles on a single 19 Gallon tank. It aired sometime in 2004, so is a little old, but incredible to watch nonetheless.
