I promised myself I’d stop checking out agency Christmas cards but then I stumbled across this comprehensive list at Bannerblog and promptly lost a few hours of my life. So in the interests of making this week a wee bit bearable for those stuck at the office and in desperate need for a rabbit hole [...]

Anyone with a thing for design should get themselve down to CarriageWorks this weekend for the Finders Keepers Markets. Running on Friday evening and Saturday day/night, the markets feature over 60 emerging designers and artist hawking their wares. There’s food, music and bar to keep you occupied as well. Don’t know where CarriageWorks is? Check [...]

Romain Gavras, the man behind the epic video for Stress, and So-Me, responsible for the visual chicanery of D.A.N.C.E and DVNO, have collaborated with Justice once again. A Cross the Universe follows the band on a 20 day tour across the USA and while I haven’t had a chance to watch the full DVD yet, [...]

If you’re in Sydney this Friday and looking for some free beer and a bit of art head down to the MTV Galleries in East Sydney and check out the Numskull show. These tend to get quite crowded, quite quickly, so as with any gallery opening the early bird gets the free booze and the [...]

I’m going to hazard a guess that most of the dudes who visit this site tend to sport clothing that is oft described as ‘Streetwear’. And in a awe-inspiring display of psychic prowess, I’m going to take it one step further and suggest that most of these young and not so young men own or [...]

For a certain subset of the human population – the intelligent, well read and sexy folk – Dave Eggers is a literary god. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is an opus with quite possibly one of the most understated titles of all time and McSweeney’s is pure intellectual masturbatory gold. If you’ve never heard [...]

We’ve all had to make phone calls we didn’t want to. Calls when we desperately hope the other person isn’t there to pick up and call bullshit on our not-so-carefully-constructed tale of misery, woe and illness that is supposedly preventing us from making it to work/attending your shitty party/doing you a favour/saving the seven toed [...]

Dgenetics Musics has put together what is quite possibly one of the best music promo videos of all time for their Generation V sampler. I’m in awe. The music style they push might be getting a little played out for some, think that crystal castles/justice/little boots-esque electro-y whateverthekidsarecallingitnowdays pop, but the video and the ASCII [...]

FreeDarko has long been a bastion for the verbose and pretentiously self aware basketball lover. The site’s underpinning philosophy of liberated fandom breaks free from the constructs imposed by blind adherence to the primacy of the home team and allows the sports fan to pursue and follow particular styles of play that represent the ideal [...]

Street artist ABOVE has finished his South Central tour across the Americas. He’s posted the final video in the four part series complete with the requisite salsalicious soundtrack. Check it out above or watch the whole series from start to finish after the jump. Read more about this well travelled man of mystery, paint and [...]

Yes, we’ve expressed our love for the Field Notes notebooks and calendars before but their just released grab bag of Field Notes related paraphernalia is as good a reason as any to revisit them. Score yourself a Field Note calendar plus 6 memo books, 6 ballpoints and 6 #2 pencils for the low, low price [...]

Dutch designer Gepostet von Stani went all out with his winning entry for a 5 Euro coin design competition. For the theme of ‘Netherlands and Architecture’ Stani created a design packed with symbolism. A homage to the architects that stand as the current standard bearers for Dutch architecture, the coin was made using free software [...]

Photo Tinkatonka While doing research for an upcoming Berlin escapade I stumbled across Ostel – a GDR themed Hostel in the heart of East Berlin. An apartment building that screams classic inspirational Eastern bloc architecture has been refurbished to recreate a communist workers holiday experience for the pampered capitalist youth who decides to indulge in [...]

Much has been made of the death of the Polaroid, you’ve all probably read thousands of articles on it and went out and stockpiled catridges like they were tins of beans in the days leading up to the Y2k crisis. News of the shutting down of production was taken badly by design mavens worldwide. Wailing [...]
