Einstürzende Neubauten’s deck of cards
The Jewels is a 2008 release from the industrial legends, Einstürzende Neubauten. It’s an album of ‘miniatures’ housed in very lavish packaging, and the result of an experiment, which led the band back into hidden niches of the Einstürzende Neubauten universe. Initially, these miniatures were conceived only as download presents for the supporters of neubauten.org. Consequently, the time spent was limited; and the Neubauten sought a creation process which would develop the necessary dynamics. In this context, Blixa Bargeld devised an unsystematic, Neubauten-specific deck of cards that became a game and a navigation system. Every card made a cryptic reference to elements of what the Neubauten have created over the last 28 years, including the instruments, materials and structures, with references to verse or chorus, intro and outro, middle section, social relationships and alliances. The band played this card game before every Jewels recording session.

Hailing from The Netherlands, Chris Berens works predominantly with ink, varnish and acrylic. Although, by his own admission, his paintings are not made with a particular message in mind, he works from recollection to create his very personal and intimate images. ‘I treat every painting as I would a diary’, he says, ‘in which I paint my thoughts and feelings’.

Are you into wide angles? Then you might want to check out the new Paul Smith limited edition Fisheye No2 camera.

Included is a bulb setting for long exposures and a switch for multiple exposures on the same frame. You also have the ability to use hotshoe flash or the built in flash. The body of the camera is attractive in a fashion sense with its metal accents and the Paul Smith signature multi-colored stripes.

Here’s one for all you tech savvy fashionistas. Outfit your iPhone 3G in form-fit style with a case from Speck.

Silver Summit make the sort of hazy psych-folk that would suit a long, night-time drive through the badlands. Incorporating an array of acoustic instruments, strings, slide guitar, and haunting female vocals into gossamer melodies, the collective sound like they hail from a dusty town on the Great Plains rather than their native Brooklyn.
The artwork of James Belcher is dark and evocative, mini snapshots from an overstimulated mind.
I really don’t understand cat haters. Most of them claim that our feline companions are aloof and distant, graceful and mysterious to a fault. In my opinion, cats are just as goofy as dogs, which is why any documentation of them acting like spazzes makes me chuckle uncontrollably. Read more

We asked Arizona-based artist Joe Sorren what we would have been if he hadn’t been handed the most ridiculously generous serving of artistic talent: ‘Art historian and conservationalist. Or a botanist. Or I’d work with horses. It would be interesting to be behind the scenes in politics, at least for a while. Or maybe a studio musician, or invent games, or a … I would rather paint’. Ah, we agree.
