Heartheads
I love Tesselate’s range of vinyl toys, especially his Hearthead character. He recently told the Vinyl Abuse website: ‘Hearthead is fine. He has a small sofa here on my desk and a tiny tv which he watches stuff on. I currently have a hearthead project on the cards of which more I shall be able to reveal very soon, hopefully when it all works out. Series 2 is also on the books, just working out some little ideas and concepts with it at the moment, which should be cool, as well as another idea I have where I will have to make a lot of heartheads’.

The Danish collective Choir of Young Believers, off the always-adventurous Ghostly International label, crept onto the scene last year with their debut album This Is for the White in Your Eyes. This track, Claustrophobia, is both introspective and outward-looking, both intimate and skyscraper-huge.

Hold Your Horses bow down to art history
Produced by L’Ogre, in the finest tradition of an Ok Go! video, this brilliant music clip for the song 70 Million by the Franco-American band, Hold Your Horses is about as clever as you’ll see, with the various band members reconstructing famous paintings in a healthy dip to those errant days of art history.
Paris-based Shaka Ponk’s sound blends electro, rock, punk, and dance with a stunning live show that combines advanced digital animation and an unsurpassed display of energy from the band members.

Will Cotton would have to be about the most appropriately named artist around. On this cold, windswept New York evening, I just want to crawl inside one of his saccharine sweet compositions and nibble on one of the clouds. Read more
Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey, is an hilarious comedy set in New York City. A case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple’s attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous.
I’d never before seen a museum where the building itself is the attraction more so than what is exhibited inside. Built by Daniel Libeskind in 1999, the Jewish Museum in Berlin is worth a visit even if you are not an architecture fan. Read more
I had the pleasure of seeing Duran Duran play a few weeks back in the balmy drizzle of New York’s Central Park. I always thought the guys had more cheek than they were ever given credit for. But don’t be fooled! For a band so rooted in the immediacy of disposable pop, they wrote some timeless songs, none more so than The Chauffeur.
