Xfm Shreds - An Introduction

added 16 March 2010 at 16.04

If it’s good enough for Les Dawson, it’s good enough for web 3.0.

Rickrolling is, like, so Iheart2008.com, dude. Shredding is where it’s at, and my God, did we almost give ourselves a hernia laughing at some of the best.

Some of you were fooled by our Kings Of Leon news story last week (sorry!), but it was by far the best shred we’d ever seen. It deserved some serious love and a suitably ridiculous news story to complement it.

What we’ve compiled is ten of the best shreds we’ve ever seen. Could laying a brand new soundtrack over a video be this funny? Yes! Will it be funny in a week’s time? The jury’s out. But for the duration of its lifetime, however short that may be, we salute its utter ridiculousness and the genius behind some of the new soundtracks.

Les Dawson - The original shred-head!
