RECORD COVERS
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
