We're very chuffed that Kasabian's shiny new album, Underdog, was released a few weeks ago. Now, we've seen some album promos before, but not one quite as inventive as this one.
Kasabian teamed up with interactive gaming platform, Arduino, to give their take on the Guitar Hero game. Sure, it's Guitar Hero, but with five footballers, some giant coloured squares, and some heavy Kasabian riffs thrown in. Good fun, eh?

Friday night saw 300 brave winners of our Facebook film club competition travel to Tower Hamlets cemetery for the Night of Fright screening of The Exorcist.
The audience had to endure a foggy cemetery tour and a goosebump-inducing welcome from Beth the creepy character from the Film Club story, before being greeted with a warm glass of mulled wine.
Thouroughly spooked, we were all pleased to find the outdoor cinema decked out with comfy directors’ chairs, a big bag of goodies and a creepy introduction by Empire magazine’s horror expert, Kim Newman.
The Exorcist was screened as a silent cinema and you listened to the film through headphones. If you dared remove them, all that could be heard was a sinister silence. Except for the unexplained blood-curdling screams, that is…
Congratulations to all our winners, we hope we haven’t scared you away. And if you’re not yet a fan of the Orange Film Club Facebook page, find it here and you could be in for some great treats – or maybe some tricks!

The Orange LG Watchphone went on sale a few months back and has been selling like hotcakes.
Now, if you think the concept of a watchphone sounds a little odd, you’re probably too young to remember David Hasselhoff in Knight Rider – he was always talking to his car using his watch. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
Anyway, the concept obviously appealed to a fair few people, as the Orange LG Watchphone sold like hotcakes after going on sale in a Bond Street shop. Buyers travelled from all over Europe to get their mitts on it. Ben from Surrey told us, ‘I’m here to buy the Watchphone for my brother. He’s been waiting two years to get one.’ Bless.
It’s been called a ‘miracle of miniaturisation’ and ‘the ultimate boys’ toy’. Just a shame there isn’t one left for the Hoff…
What's the craziest gadget you have seen? Let us know in the comments section....
We love the Sound of Orange Rockcorps here at Orange, and apparently others do too. Yesterday it made site of the day on The Favourite Website Awards (FWA). You'll find all the details on this music making app in our our earlier post here.
If you haven't yet taken part in the Sound of Orange RockCorps, give it a try - this video will give you the idea.
What’s scarier than watching The Exorcist? Watching it in the dark, at night, outdoors, in a scare-your-socks-off-spooky secret location, that’s what. Welcome to Orange Cinema – A Night of Fright.
On Saturday we gave away the Orange Cinema tickets to our lucky winners, for our Night of Fright event this weekend, in a secret location in Central London.
The event has proved so popular we’ve released additional seats. If you reckon you can handle the fear, come along – we’ve got limited free tickets to give away, and all you have to do is email us here, quick.

Apparently the Bright Top Ups advert has been tickling the funny bones of more than one YouTube user. And that’s fine with us because Fluffy Cone and friends must be the happiest characters on TV. Even your favourite, Screaming Peg, is happy to be screaming.
And we’ve finally worked out what she was screaming about. The Bright Top Ups Widget.
We've made a little box of screaming, springing, beat-boxing happiness to brighten up your blog or social networking profile.
The Bright Top Ups widget features all your favourite characters from the advert, but the fun doesn’t end there. It’ll also keep you updated on all the prizes Orange are giving out to pay as you go customers.
If you’re not familiar with Bright Top Ups, here’s the lowdown. Every time you top up you’ve got a one in three chance of winning anything from a laptop to a mini fridge, scooters to free minutes and texts. The prizes change every month, so you can go on winning and winning.
As this is the widget that keeps on giving, it’ll give you a nod every time Orange changes the prizes, makes every top up a winner, or runs an awesome prize draw.
The widget couldn’t be easier to get. Just click and grab that embed code or choose your Social Network location and get smiling.
This year's gigs may be over, but this is hardly the end for Orange RockCorps. There's still loads of ways to get involved online and by giving your 4 hours.
If you missed this years projects, don't worry. It's never been easier to find a volunteering opportunity near you with the Orange RockCorps Collective
And you can also still get involved in the music phenomenon that is The Sound of Orange RockCorps.
Record your sounds, re-mix some of the biggest tracks of the last few years, invite your friends to take part and publish your track to your social network.
This weekend saw the last tour date of the hugely successful Orange Monkey Holograms Gigs, celebrating the launch of our music sharing and text package.
To sign it off in true UK style (and a bit of mayhem), recent Mobo award winners N-Dubz and critically acclaimed Pixie Lott came down to introduce and watch their hologram selves.
Crowds screamed, danced and scrambled to get an autograph, and Pixie and N-Dubz seemed to be very impressed with themselves (as holograms).
Watch our videos below to get a lowdown on what happened, including interviews with N-Dubz and Pixie.
