I forgot all Cibo Matto until I stumbled across this in Pitchfork’s 50 Greatest videoclips of the 90s feature. Aphex Twin’s Come to Daddy came in at #1 but whatevs. Miss u Cibo Matto.

This ties back to the post below. Juan Atkin’s Night Drive (Thru-Babylon) is my soundtrack to driving an old 1970s Cadillac through downtown Detroit at 3am. Some Escape from New York isht – but in Detroit.

There’s a whole explanation behind these images. You can read it at the official website. I just think they look ‘neat’. And by neat, I mean they have that slightly dystopian / Bladerunner / William Gibson feel to them, which I’m rather partial to.

Not a real update, just a cool picture of Katamari I felt like posting.

So I put together a guide to white rappers over @ Lifelounge. You should read it. And watch all the YouTube clips. There’s the good (Edan), the bad (Brian Austin Green), and the ugly (Skinnyman). 15-17 rappers all up. Plus Sage Francis – who I hate

Meanwhile, here’s a bootleg clip of Ugly Duckling + Skate video.

Some images that we stumbled across while researching articles for other websites…

PS. Did you know that Team Evil is also ‘Evil Arab Hackers’? It’s true. Found this on some Israeli website: “Team Evil claim to be Morrocan Hackers working for the Palestinian cause. They’ve been around since 2004 leaving anti-American and anti-Israel messages. In an interview with Ynet News a spokes person for the group said they were all ‘Moroccan youths, under the age of 20′, he also claimed that hacking was not illegal. The phrase ‘have I got news for you” comes to mind’.”

Maybe this is why we’re banned in China?

A guy called Nick Weaver has put together a new serious of paintings / prints that cover North American Wildlife. They’re pretty ‘neat’.

[edit]

There was a whole extra paragraph here were I talked about bolsting this site’s web content and how I wanted to write an article about ‘personal brands’. I deleted it because (1) it was lame, (2) writing about the thing you didn’t write about is much more Team Evil.

That said, if anyone would like to purchase an article about social media / personal brands / why that Tweet was a bad idea, plz drop me a line. Kthxbai.

Meanwhile, Nick Weaver’s North American Wildlife

Another week, another show at LA’s Gallery 1988. This week it’s all about Netherland’s Raised on Hi-Fi solo effort. It’s wonderfully shit – as you can see from these pictures. Prints are available to buy from $200 cheap.

Oh hai, it’s a Clipse mixtape you can download for cheap, i.e. nothing. It features most of their biggest tracks. The guys also talk about various behind the scenes stuff with the songs and the videos and the like. Um, yeah, that’s it. Download it here.

I need a holiday. Turned in five articles last week + day job + regular freelance stuff. Towards the end of the week I was getting to bed at 3am, getting up at 7am and was basically a nervous wreck. It’s been like that for the last month or so – which is why this blog has gone to shit.

Anyway, complaining is for suckers. I’m just gonna post up some vintage mid-west photos from Kelly Knaga and daydream about getting about in a cowboy hat, drinking whisky on my front porch and shooting guns.
