ad free são paulo

Fri, 20 Apr 2007 05:59:11 -0700

I can't believe that i've not heard about this until now, but as of 1 Jan 2007, the Brazillian city of Sao Paulo has taken down all it's billboards, bus ads, and more. It's a move that has outraged business people, but left a large percentage of it's 11 million population free from visual polution.

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 05:34:34 -0800

These guys have developed a super cool 'machine' that uses a laser pointer and a big mother projecter to graffiti on the sides of buildings. Seriously, watch the video (some offensive content), your head might explode with amazement!
ps. just found this on wooster - graffiti by text message in Rome

top dj sets at turnmills

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 22:17:34 -0800

Ok, we all know that DJ sets from good live artists normally suck in comparison, but this Saturday at Turnmills (London EC1) has so many amazing bands doing dj sets, that it might almost be worth it.
New Rave kids the Klaxons are breaking out their records, as too are electro-poppers Hot Chip, the obese-sexy Gossip and the wonderful New Young Pony Club.
Obviously it would be a much sweeter gig if they weren't dj sets, but you might get closer to the famous this way, and actually, some of the remixes i've heard from these groups are pretty damn awesome. gig info here. over.

Mark and Jez from peep show brilliantly reworked here. And a rant from the Guardian. About time. I don't mind macs as computers, but this campaign makes me sick.

dextor's conscience

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 07:29:31 -0800

Dextor's Conscience are quite possibly one of the most amazing bands to come out of Brisbane in the past few years. Claimed influences from Death Cab For Cutie and Jimmy Eat World are evident, and built upon in a beautiful way. Their debut lp Soundtrack the Distance is an epic performance with beautiful melodies, and dynamic guitar riffs.

I was lucky enough to see them play, in Brisbane, in January, and their live show lives up to the album. Check out the myspace page, or sample the track below.

rogue wave

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 06:46:36 -0800

ok, i didn't quite possibly give them as much credit when i first got the album, but now, i almost can't live without it.
Rogue Wave are the band, and descended like vultures is the sunny second album harking from San Francisco. Although it doesn't particularly rock out, it permeates through your soul creating vibes of amazingness instead. Seriously check it out, preview below.
