a visual collective outlet of inspiration
we miss real records; the physical object, the collectors item, the amazing cover designs and the real scratching dj’s. i guess we are not the only ones!

sparklehorse & dangerous mouse genius blank cd
after radiohead giving away its album for any donation, the greatest move against the musical industry comes from sparklehorse (mark linkous) and nyc producer dangermouse. after recording “dark night of the soul” (featuring david lynch, iggy pop, suzanne vega, julian casablancas from the strokes, wayne coyne from the flaming lips…) EMI decided that they wouldn’t release the record as they’re still pissed off at danger mouse for the grey album that he gave away for free download on his website. the grey album was a record that mixed the beatles’ white album with jay-z’s black album (jay-z’s label was ok, EMI representing the beatles was not). whatever, sparklehorse are selling a blank cd in a book designed by david lynch, and you can download for free the music on their website to burn it on your blank cd! just great! by pp’

cos magazine
i’m generally not a huge fan of h&m and co but i have to admit that the magazine they did for their high hand brand (cos, not available in the US yet) is very nice, there is a huge influence from fantastic man but whatever, it’s pretty, and on top of that you can download it hi-res! by pp’
bobo NYC: for all the bourgeoisie bohemians
the cozy backgarden. Pimms all around!
cool master gabi and the rest of three as four
the fabulous norwegian designer elise øverland along with hope atherton, kate schelter and animee mullins
the lovely kate schelter – designer, photographer, girl about town
not only a great restaurant with a great atmosphere and great people, bobo has a conscience! the food is mostly local, supporting small farmers, and the water filtered from the tap rather than shipped worldwide in heavy bottles. most importantly, the back garden is a hidden treasure and the perfect place for a summer cocktail. by kv

R.I.P. michael jackson
i always wished for those lanky daddy long legs of his, but i was never a fan. owned ‘off the wall’ at some point, and never another album, but you can’t deny his genius! an amazing dancer, a gentle being, not a child molester. different of course, but no more of a freak than pamela anderson or tom cruise, and at least jackson had a reason to be strange, plus he delivered something unlike the other two losers… and for those of you who want to know the truth about all the stories may we suggest this documentary. by dd
not so hot: The sartorialist
the sartorialist was a blog we all liked. many of our friends have been featured on it and it was a good effort on collecting street styles in the footsteps of time-out, and other numerous publications before it. what set it apart was that people got to comment, positively and negatively. but have you ever noticed that most, if not all, of the recent comments posted on the blog are love letters filled with positive feed back? such as “H.O.T”, “I love this guy he’s so chic”, “oh my god, her shirt is to die for, I want it”, “what a cool looking dude” and so on… I mean who’s looking at this blog anymore? if not scott shuman and his pals then a bunch of admirers from milwaukee? normal people have opinions, good and bad. I personally have commented in the past on the blog and usually a mix of positive and negative. I never checked back to see but I started noticing that whenever i submitted the slightest of negative comments, it magically disappeared in to the ether, never to be posted! at first i thought that scott schuman, the 3 foot tall founder of sartorialist, may have been too busy tying his bow tie to see the submission but upon my return I noticed many other positive posts had been blessed by the newly fascist regime. we hope democracy can be restored to the fashion world and if not, may we suggest changing the name from the “sartorialist“ to the more-appropriate “sorryasslist” until you post our latest submission regarding your prada post, we’re positive you can dig it up under tomorrow started. we will be happy to withdraw our accusations at that point.
