Happy May the 4th! With the Star Wars machine starting up again it would be remissive of me to ignore May the 4th this year. So below are some special May the 4th be with you messages, a Rdio Star Wars playlist and the 10 best Star Wars related adverts. Enjoy and may the 4th be with you.

Catching up on my email yesterday I came across a missive that I should have read a while ago as it is pre-tay, pre-tay cool and it would appear that some of the links have now expired. To honour the 85th Annual Academy Awards taking place this evening the kind folks at Rdio are celebrating the talent behind the scenes who bring emotion and culture to the films we love through the power of music, they have specially curated a playlist featuring all the songs from both the BAFTAs and the Oscars for your listening pleasure.

Below I have embedded the 3 Rdio Playlists previews - if you haven't already you may need to sign up to Rdio for free to listen to the full songs, its a breeze to do and worth it for the Life of Pi and Skyfall soundtracks alone . Please note some of the dong links have now expired. The 3 playlists consist of:

FLC the The alternative Hip Hop / Rap / Alternative Rock / Funk / Lounge / Blues / Jazz band have been away due to some legal issues involving management and their record labels. They have been keeping it relatively low key and operating out of London.

The first single from the album Classic Fantastic is out on February 22. Having listened to preview tracks of Classic Fantastic I can say that it says what it is on the tin - Classic Fantastic.

Classic Fantastic is a party album built in a psychological bunker; it’s a phenomenal testament to the power of unbound optimism. “There’s this thing called Noetics,” announces Huey. “Which says if everybody thinks the same good thoughts, good things will happen. Likewise, negative thoughts - it’s not rocket science. And we all want the same thing, to be a Fun Lovin’ Criminal. You have to go through hell to get to heaven and now we’re finally out from under a lot of our problems, it’s a brand new day. So let’s go out and do what we love to do.
