This whole Olympic thing is awesome news, i am really happy for Rick and Karl - what a fantastic opportunity.

Looking forward to some new Underworld themed sporting events.

Of course it all starts off with the popular rope race Born Skippy followed by the test of strength with Push Upstairs and finally a test of endurance with the Dark & Long relay race.

And don't even ask about Big Meat Show

Love this pic with popped collars and everything

Big Meat Show? Is that a new song or an old reworked?

It means they're in charge of all the audio aspects of the opening ceremonies. They can do whatever they want (and what Danny asks of them).
Yes, they will be composing music for it. Performing? Maybe. Past opening ceremonies have had musical artists make brief appearances.

I think a performance ala Freur attire would suit this nicely, homemade instruments and all... less the crimped hair of course!

The only negative is going to be watching this in the US and having non-stop commentary from NBC drowning out the music. They completely ruined Bjork's performance a few years ago.

This is true, however, since we live in the digital age - I'm sure we'll be able to pick up a UK or other world broadcast via YouTube or some other website as well as perhaps a friendly dirt may be willing to post a download...
