Busta Rhymes - Touch It (TikTok Remix 2021)

From the writer and executive producer of the award-winning Netflix series The Good Place that made moral philosophy fun: a fool-proof guide to making the correct moral decision in every situation you ever encounter, anywhere on earth, forever.

How can we live a more ethical life? 

This question has plagued people for thousands of years, but it's never been tougher to answer than it is now, thanks to challenges great and small that flood our day-to-day lives and threaten to overwhelm us with impossible decisions and complicated results with unintended consequences. 

Plus, being anything close to an 'ethical person' requires daily thought and introspection and hard work; we have to think about how we can be good not, you know, once a month, but literally all the time. 

To make it a little less overwhelming, this fascinating, accessible and funny book by one of our generation's best writers and adept minds in television comedy, Michael Schur, boils down the whole confusing morass with real life dilemmas (from 'should I punch my friend in the face for no reason?' to 'can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people?'), so that we know how to deal with ethical dilemmas. Much as Chidi used humour and philosophy to make Eleanor a less selfish person, Schur takes us on a journey through the 2,500-year discussion of ethics, sketching a road map for how we ought to act along the way.

By the time the book is done, we'll know exactly how to act in every conceivable situation, so as to produce a verifiably maximal amount of moral good. We will be perfect, and all our friends will be jealous. Okay, not quite. Instead, we'll gain fresh, funny, inspiring wisdom on the toughest issues we face every day

With contributions from Professor Todd May of Clemson University, who served as an advisor on The Good Place, this is a brilliant, clever and hugely entertaining book about one of the most important topics in the world.  

'The problem is, if all you care about in the world is the velvet rope, you will always be unhappy, no matter which side you're on.' (Tahani Al-Jamil, The Good Place)

The Beatles Dub Club Vol.  2

This year's Best of Bootie Mashup mixtape is a little different than previous years, in that it's almost a three-part suite. The first section jumps right in with dance-pop disco vibes, kicking things off with a mashup of Dua Lipa's "Dance The Night," the showcase single from the year's biggest movie, "Barbie." (Not so coincidentally, "Barbie" also was the theme of our biggest party in 2023.)

We always have an EDM mashup section on the album, but this year we get to the bangers sooner, and stay there longer, to keep you pumped on the dancefloor. Then it's time for the third and final stretch, with a long tail of inventive, mostly genre-clashed mashups, including a block of Taylor Swift tracks (after all, this was certainly her year) and the requisite chill-out (and WTF) mashups to take us to the end. 

We always try to include as many "big hits" of the year as we can, as well as showcasing throwback tracks that got a makeover by being mashed up in creative ways. Special shout-out to DJ Firth for mixing this year's edition, and Adriana A for curating the Bootie Mashup team's favorites.

BARE CELEBRITIES 2014

We've all got computers on our laps
A tablet, notebook, or perhaps
An iPhone or an iPad or a Mac
Sophisticated gadgetry is nowadays no luxury...
And also lots of fun for me to hack.
 
When you take a photo, it goes in The Cloud
I know it's a no-no, it's not allowed
For me to help myself to your pictures in the nude or in your knickers
But if you're a star and you're undressed, it's in the public interest.
How can you disagree?
That bare celebrities are what we like to see... We love to see.

We want those bare celebrities, completely bare celebrities.
We love to see the Famous wearing nought
I mean those bare celebrities, their private personal selfies
For just their partners’eyes, or so they thought.

This Gross intrusion is gonna make you frown
Until you've seen Kate Upton upside down.
Selfies of Rihanna & Kirsten Dunst show they have lovely tidy… bedrooms
And you're gonna blush if you see any photos of <knock><knock><knock>  Penny.

So wotcha gonna do?
Those bare celebrities are on the Net to view; it's up to you.
 
We love those bare celebrities, we care about our privacy.
But when it’s a celeb then we don’t mind.
Most  in demand but never seen, the boobs of Katniss Everdeen
Now everywhere online for you to find.

Click scroll, click scroll, tap tap tap tap
Fap fap fap fap fap fapfapfap
The FBI have apprehended
Me, and now I’ve been commended
For hacking these photos one-handedly.

Anaesthetist, lyricist, vocalist & pianist, Suman's hilarious parodies of well-known songs, such as the sweary cult-classic "London Underground Song", are all over the internet.
 
Suman co-founded Amateur Transplants while at Medical School in the 1990's. Their infamous dark humour and popular parodies led to many appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, millions of hits on YouTube, four successful albums and a UK tour.

(And somehow, still a doctor.)
