Kimbra Interview, Nyan Cat and Kevin Keller

This week on Diff'rent Strokes:



Dave catches up with Kiwi indie soul sensation Kimbra to chat about her new single 'Cameo Lover', the gorgeous new video, and learn more about her forthcoming album Vows. Take a listen to 'Cameo Lover' here:

ONLINE:



Didn't we tell you we're dedicated to finding you guys more amazing internet time-wasters? Behold Nyan.cat - there are no words to describe this other than nyanyanyanyanyanyanyan...

CULTURE:



Last year, the iconic Archie Comics series introduced their first openly gay character Kevin Keller and after an overwhelmingly positive response, we now learn that the blond Riverdale will soon be headlining his own comic mini-series. Dave will discuss the cultural impact this will have on Archie's traditionally conservative readership and image, and how the GLBTIQ community has responded to Kevin.

An Horse Interview, Bossypants and Friends and Benefits

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MUSIC:



Jade chats with Kate of An Horse about their sensational new album Walls, how they have grown as a band, and why they're not even sure if they have any Aussie fans left back home.

Take a listen to several new tracks from the Walls LP:

CULTURE:



Jade and Dave check out Tina Fey's hilarious autobiography Bossypants and explains why it's the ultimate for any worshipper of Liz Lemon and 30 Rock. Witty, intelligent and packed with enough awkward personal anecdotes to keep you cringing/gasping for air - this is everything you've ever wanted from our favourite American comedy queen.

ONLINE:



Dave shows love to a new online mini-series "Friends and Benefits" about a young gay man who turns to online dating after a horrid break up and all the drama that comes with finding love in today's scene. I'm sure we can all relate. Can I get an "amen!" up in here?

Be sure to catch the Melbourne-made series as webisodes unfold here on YouTube.

Tatiana Interview, Working in Fast Food and That Can Be My Next Tweet

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MUSIC:



Dave chats with Polish diva Tatiana on her very first Australian radio interview about her debut international single 'Spider Web', cracking the UK and promises of a James Bond-esque album.

You can read the full interview on Dave's Feed Limmy blog after the show.

CULTURE:



Our Diff'rent Strokes divas may be living life in the limelight now but like many young'ins, they started off working in a fast food joint. Tonight they look at the cultural impact of fast food employment on our generation and reminisce a little on the good, the bad and the greasy.

ONLINE:



Jade and Dave checks out "That Can Be My Next Tweet" - this site that predicts your next tweet by scrambling morsels of all your previous Twitter updates. Oh, the mayhem.

ONLINE:



No more holding your heads in shame, bitches. There's now an app for the "morning after", designed to eradicate drunk tweets, pics and updates. Presenting: Last Night Never Happened! We won't say no names but one of our Diff'rent Strokes divas could do with this app.

CULTURE:



Dave talks about the photoblogging culture, how to get started and why sharing the beauty of the world around you has never been easier and more appealing. Check out four photoblogs we're currently trawling through:
