Warpaint (for your ears)

I'm not going to lie to you, I have a MASSIVE crush on Warpaint.
It may have a large 'something to-do' with the fact that the LA quartet is entirely dominated with a (more than) substantial female presence, but it is also definitely in truth attributed to the fact that they have an absolutely epic sound.

The band has only released one EP to date aptly titled 'Exquisite Corpse', which has been out for far too long with nothing new, said or done. Instead of me trying really hard to think of big words, I'll let this quote sum up their one release for me
"a collection of magical psychedelia drifting over sublime moments of raw melody courtesy of the three free ethereal vocalists”
Job done.
Equipped with a rawly developed sound the songs try nothing fancy or over-the-top and come across as quite unforgiving but still emotive. This is a group with the definite ability of dragging me into the depths with them too.

Get into it, Exquisite Corpse.

...and yes, I do hear Karen O in their vocals.

Warpaint

Warpaint - Elephants
Warpaint - Billie Holiday

(any more and it'll be the whole EP)

Chitecture

Weburbanist did a piece on 'blobitechture'.
It's exceedingly interesting, so I ripped a few pics and put them up.
Check out the article.

Blobism or even Blobismus is a exceedingly organic type of architecture that exhibits profoundly soft, rounded and curved dimensions. Originating in inflatable buildings, pre-fab plastic structures and computer-assisted design exercises

They also have a rad article on Star Wars cakes...

Goblin Shark

Ummm, you wouldn't want one of these hanging off your scrot.



I didn't even know this bad boy existed. Apparently (according to the ever flawless source that is Wikipedia) it's a deep sea dweller only found at depths where the sun can't reach and is one of 45 (different) species of this type of shark. The goblin shark lives up to its name and looks absolutely HIDEOUS coupled with a steeze that can only be compared to some leprotic forest dwelling witch.

That extendible jaw, wow.

Ahhh Kiwi's

Burberry interactive A/W 2010 Campaign

Burberry have just launched a new look, interactive, in-depth and a bit too in-the-grill 2010 Autumn / Winter campaign featuring an all-star and all-British cast fronted by my old mate Rosie Whiteley.

The campaign / look book / interactive James Cameron experience has been shot by nonetheless than bigwig photog Mario Testino (takes good photos) and features completely user controlled photos where which the user can select and control views of the images. The images literally come to life, with the models walking closer or away from the camera with the option of choosing the POV in a 180 degree area.

So, opinion? Rubbish. Oh don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the actual collection, but could not stand the way that technology interfered. Rather than looking at the apparel I spent most of my time trying to function the damn thing (inverted mouse), wait upon loading times, and fitting low res images to screen. Which is more important? Having potential customers look at your line, or show down the Jones's? When I'm /end rant maybe I'll consider the rest of the campaign.

Here are pictures that have nothing to do with Burberry but everything to do with Mario Testino.

I be the judge.

WAVVES - King of the Beach

A few tracks from Wavves new album 'King of the Beach'.
Their third album, continuing in the popular 'surf rock' vein that seems to be taking over airwavves recently, is abundant with lofty reverb and a trippy happy go lucky pop-punk-post-rock vibe.

Check out their steeze. In fact, I'm not going to waste any more of your time, webspace or my limited metaphors. Click the links, rip it onto tape and prep it for summer cruizez. (Then buy the album on its release guttertrash)

The Good (Ass Job), The Bad, The Brave

So I think I beat Kanye to the punch with the release of his new album 'Good Ass Job'.

I hear talk that he'll be bringing back a glimmer of his former brilliance from albums College Dropout and Late Registration and re-inserting a hip hop vibe. If not, then here are 13 songs currently running through my speakers on shuffle that will still be better than the ones he releases.

The Good (Ass Job), The Bad, The Brave



Akrobatik - Remind My Soul
Organized Konfusion - Stress
Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half Steppin'
Mos Def / Macy Gray - I've Committed Murder
Tribe - Phony Rappers
Big Pun - Beware
Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Pound Gangstaz
Das EFX - If Only
Slick Rick - The Moment I Feared
Roxanne Shante - Bad Sister
RJD2 - F.H.H
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Straighten It Out
Talib & Madlib - Over the Counter

Peace & Love

IMPROV EVERYWHERE

So,
In continuing with the weeks Star Wars theme (yes two posts in quick succession will get people freaking out) I thought I'd throw up a link to a website I quite literally stumbled upon yesterday.
IMPROV EVERYWHERE is a website run by a group of guys n gals willing to do any seemingly sporadic, weird and random thing in public to effectively kill the normal puppet driven day we experience...daily. Much like the towel dance done at Bondi Beach.
Check out their website, it's epic.




More power.

LOBSTERINE

That old fixed chestnut




Back to the fixie debate.
Although I possess a strong dislike towards fixies, I must admit that most of it is directed at the bambi-hey  pineapple pushers that seem to congregate in stationary groups out the front of clothing boutiques or stoop-walks showing off their new accessory.
I get, I understand it...I'm not down with it.
However, I do have a lotta love for the guys and gals who actually ride them.
...and to these fellas...who represent both fixed and BMX, hard.

JUAN FRANCISCO CASAS... BIC ME

BIC ME PLEASE.

Juan Francisco Casas

Armed with naught but a camera, biro pens and a 'slay all female' name Juan recreates the pictures taken on his camera with astounding effect, making them look like photo realistic doppelgangers (sorry couldn't resist) of the originals..

Keep in mind that all the pictures (drawn on 10foot canvases) are done using only BIRO PENS...what what?

















The boredom etches out notches within my skull.
