Our new promo posters / stickers / whatever are ready to go. Thanks to Lauren Vallis for making them INCREDIBLE. PS. 2010 is all about Panda vs Alpaca. We’re talking Taschen book deal, bags of money, coke whores, the whole bit. The world isn’t ready…
Just an experiment to see what using the words hipster, anal sex, Kari Ferrell and Azn does to our Google analytics stats. You can read Ferrell’s first hand account of the ‘buttsecks’ here. Apparently it was “amazing.”
David Bowie – Let’s Dance
Well it would be a YouTube update if that site hadn’t gone to shit with ads, ‘Embedding disabled by request’ nonsense and the removal of music from certain videos. These days we’re all about Daily Motion – which is what YouTube used to be like. Oh, and this videoclip / song is totally classic. Throw it on in a club these days and people will still lose their shit.
Our friend’s at Ala Champfest have just released the first issue of their magazine. It has the sort of binding you dream about and the paper stock will have you doing Patrick Bateman impressions. On the editorial tip they’ve got some badass cars, photos, skateboards, art peoples, incredible design from Kill Pixie and a whole lot more. Only 500 copies have been produced and you should buy one. Visit them at www.alachampfest.com
Mario Sorrenti took some photos of kate Moss for the latest issue of Vogue Hommes. Oh, and she was naked… If you want to see the rest of the series Google is your friend.
A while back we thought it would be kinda interesting to do an update on restaurant menus and their graphic design. Nothing ever came of it because, frankly, it wasn’t that good an idea. Several months later, on a slow Sunday night, we’ve had a change of heart. It’s still a pretty half-assed idea, but with Cassette Tape Magazine doing the rounds we need to be one our game. And that means updates.
Best thing we’ve heard in ages. Gucci Mane is a genius. Hope he gets out of jail soon.
Did Wall Street Kid for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) inadvertently cause the stock market crash of 2008/09? We’re going to go out on and limb and say yes. Yes it did.
Released in 1990, the game had you investing in a virtual stock market in order to turn $500,000 seed money into a $600 billion fortune (not kidding). If you couldn’t afford to buy nice things for your girlfriend she would leave you and the game ended. Now, given the average Nintendo owner would have been around 13 years old when the game was released, they would be pushing 30 these days. If they’d pursued a career in finance they’d be the perfect age to tank the economy on highly speculative investments undertaken to impress their coke whore girlfriend/future wife. Just like Wall Street Kid…
Or maybe we just couldn’t think of a better update.
If you’re in Melbourne this Thursday, March 25, you should probably swing past Gorker Gallery for the launch of Ben Frost’s Confessions of a Model Citizen exhibit. Everyone will be there. And they usually have ‘complimentary’ booze – so that helps.
