Going all the way back to the salad days of the Year 2000, today’s kickass song of the day is… Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols. Off the album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. There are a few really good songs on this album but this one is just fantastic. Get over the hokey [...]

New Blu Piece, Done
Blu has appeared on these pages before. And it’s not hard to understand why I love his work – he’s one of the most ambitious and progressive street artists working on the world today. His pieces are big, thoughtful and interested in where we’re all going, dammit. Evidently he’s been working hard. He’s got a [...]
Life in a Logo World
Last year’s Oscar nominated animated shorts were a quality bunch, as usual. But one stood out from the others, one that eventually went on to win and a short that seemed, at least for me, to resonate in a pretty scary way. Logorama. Created by Human Music & Sound Design, part of Human Worldwide, a [...]
Search for Airfares Like You Never Have Before
So my birthday is coming up and apart from knowing that I want to go somewhere to celebrate it, I don’t really know where. Fortunately, being a rather bit fond of travel, I recently stumbled across an interesting new website that doesn’t search like any other airline booking engine out there.

Say No To Relentless Ditties – Unhear Them
From the annals of the goddamn why didn’t I think of that book comes an invention you’ll really wish you thought of. Unhear It will remove that damn song stuck in your head since this morning. It will cure you of your ills. How? By getting another dumb catchy tune stuck in your head, which [...]
Stuff vs Stuff
Knowing that I haven’t seen this up until now makes me wanna grab my Google notifier by the shoulders and tell it to wake the fuck up. Stuff vs Stuff is a pair (so far) of stop motion animations so adorable it makes you want to go out and kill puppies. Okay, hug puppies. Its [...]
Minas Tirith Made From Matchsticks
Minas Tirith was always the better Minas. Not because good is better than evil which can actually be debated, and not because it looks cooler, which can also be argued against. But because it’s the capital of Gondor, dude! And you can’t dispute that. For the 3 of you that don’t know what I’m talking [...]
