]]> Bid a farewell to our continental neighbours with this musical meander that takes in the good, the great and the god-awful from each and every one of the current EU states. With one notable exception.

]]> Ever found yourself stuck in a creative cul-de-sac? Facing a brick wall that’s brought your amazing project to a shuddering halt? We all have. That;s why back in 1975 good old Brian Eno decided to do something about it and, with the help of artist Peter Schmidt, created Oblique Strategies; a series of cards designed to be brought into play to bounce you out of the C hole by thinking a tad differently.

Random, funny, inspirational, clever and hugely effective, they’re a must for anyone doing anything creative. Whether you’re crafting ad copy, trying to crack that pitch brief, composing music, painting, writing poetry or anything that requires creative thinking (let’s face it, that’s virtually everything we do), they can help.

Follow me on Twitter for a daily morning does of creative randomisation at 8.30am sharp or thereabouts. Later at weekends, naturally.

Here are the rules:

The cards and the ideas are all copyright Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.
