One Teaspoon
Australian label — One Teaspoon — designs sexy, stylish streetwear for the modern urban sophisticate. Or something like that. Says Trend Central of the label: ‘Designer Jamie Walsham draws on influences from the 60s and the 80s, reinventing classics of both eras such as spandex, neon brights, skinny tights, minis, body suits, t-shirt dresses, pencil skirts, and polka dots’.

Culled from Mux Mool’s EPs, mixtapes, and beat vaults, the Viking Funeral EP collects five choice Mux cuts into one concentrated blast of music, an introduction to Brian Lindgren’s dazzling take on homespun electro hip-hop and a preamble to his upcoming full-length release, Skulltaste.

Make The Girl Dance’s Kill Me video clip
Parisian electro act, Make The Girl Dance, have just launched their second single, Kill Me, based around the question: ‘what would you do if you only had eight days to live? With $30,000 in their pockets, they sped their way through America, fulfilling fantasies. The result? A rock and roll road movie, trash and tender, subversive and romantic, poetic and dirty.
Back in the 1950s, in the wake of World War Two, aerosol technology took a quantum leap through the research and development efforts of Connn Chem, who ‘developed a new line of propellants based on inert gases and hydrocarbons’. This gave rise to now staple ‘inventions’ such as whipped cream and cooking sprays. Sadly, their plans for Aerosol Mashed Potatoes never saw the light of day. Shame. It would have been a blast squirting gooey spuds all over the Principal’s car.

She is like my inspiration.

HAVE YOUR SAY
The weird, gangly creatures that New York artist Alexandra Newmark draws and sculpts out of mohair are creepy in a David Cronenberg sort of way, but also unnervingly inviting, tempting viewers to touch them. Read more
Very few band reunions get me excited, but I’ve consistently loved Faith No More since I was 13. I loved their pre-Mike Patton era, I loved King for a Day, and I even loved their track with Boo Yah Tribe on the Judgment Night soundtrack. Kerrang recently hinted that a FNM reformation is in the works for ‘09, and though bassist Billy Gould has emphatically denied the rumors, the general consensus is that the reunion is on.

Hot damn. Canvas Magazine makes the Brisbane design community look seriously sexy. Read more
Man, I remember shaking my tail to Come on Eileen many moons ago — when rat-tails were a right of passage and Molly Ringwald held both the lock and the key to my tiny pitter pattering heart. Back then it was all ice-skating and fairy floss; skateboards and trading cards. It was bags of chips by the rusty school fence and sunburnt faces on crackling summer days. Read more
There’s a shop on Smith Street in Melbourne where all young designers go to live. In.cube8r supports all things craft and handmade in Melbourne, running like a long-term market, with the gallery divided into different areas that the artists lease for a tiny cost. There are more than 75 of Melbourne’s top crafters on show and the gallery is always looking for new designers.
Oh man! If I was twenty again, a jumble of nerves and a well of electric energy, I’d be in the front row for every damn MGMT gig. Read more
I’m super hyped about the Australian Summer lurking around the corner, so I’ve been on the lookout for some new protective sunnies for driving. Surprisingly, I found some uber-lovely Le Specs that look funky yet designer-esque due to the stylish sides. Read more

There is not a medium that UK illustrator Lizzy Stewart cannot wrap around her little finger to make the most beautiful, whimsical images. Read more
Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more
Kate Banazi’s silkscreen artwork
A three-lettered ‘wow’ explodes in my mind whenever I look at the work of Sydney-based silkscreen artist Kate Banazi. Her latest work is fantastically dynamic, stylistic and abstract, making clever use of colour-bomb palettes. Read more
I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.

Scanners’ new single Salvation
I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine. Having toured with acts such as The Horrors, The Wedding Present, The Charlatans, Electric Six, and Juliette & The Licks, Scanners could well blow up in 2010. Figuratively speaking, not literally. No, that wouldn’t be fun.
