I’m a sucker for a good pictogram at the best of times and this set of movie posters from Viktor Hertz is proper in the money. Love the Tron one!

a very mixed bag at the Design Awards this year and on the whole some seriously disappointing delivery (a load of i-pads and lots of DO NOT TOUCH signs does not lend itsef well to any interactivity). Great to know this one’s coming back for August though!

great bit of blog action from my former stomping ground - some writing that will make you laugh hard and top mix action that will make you cry hard, making you wonder why you even bother trying.
Tronik Youth Club: Patti Smith - Just Kids →
Patti was reading extracts from this on BBC radio recently, really need to get the book itself.

“At night we played the records we liked to draw to on our battered player. Sometimes we played a game called Record of the Night. The album cover of the chosen record would be…

The best/most elaborate/unusual CV we’ve received in a while. Why the beansprouts? No idea. Can I eat them? Probably not.

This is the new creative for my weekly Friday night party over at Wax Jambu on Upper Street in Islington, London. No hasstle, great drinks menu and obviously fantastic records from beginning to end every time. Starting to put together podcasts/ shows to support at the minute so will get ‘em up one here in due course

Shame on me for only discovering this blog site recently. A great source of classic Acid House and all round good music fodder, with hods of great Balearic mixes to listen to and download too
Paint colour lust →
Recent trip to Glasgow, always a good excuse to have a quick scoot around Macintosh’s School Of Art building. Had things panned out a little differently, could well have ended up there, up to the eyes in paint. Apart from being a fantastic space that happily still operates and serves it’s original purpose, the central atrium was hosting a little exhibition from every ravers...

I can’t say I’m a massive fan of Facebook groups - the majority are self agrandising or a poor SPAM substitue - this article offers an interesting point of view on what was recently deemed a worthy barometer of the nation’s mood (see the Rage Against The Machine campaign last Christmas) has now become little more than an on line community of burning torch wavers and pious...
Design Award winners →
The Brit Insurance design award category winners have been announced - pleasing to see McQueen topping the fashion category for the jaw dropping show he did in September. I’m not exactly Brian Zoolander, but the playback held even my attention for it’s duration down at the Design Museum near Tower Bridge. A fitting epitaph really and the judges were at pains to stress his...

saw this band on Thursday night and literally have been unable to get the track ‘Fortune’ out of my head for the past month. Think Ewan Pearson’s been the same as he’s put an edit of it on his new mix for Kompakt www.kompakt.fm - also well worth checking. Anyway, they guest quite heavily on the new Gorillaz album and frankly they deserve to have a properly killer year. ...

recently saw Pet Shop Boys discussing this as the inspiration behind the creative of their last album ‘YES’. Pray for a very sunny day when you’re sat in church I suppose…
