Meet Craig The Model
|Oh boy! Andy Howard, one third of the Lost At E Minor editing team and the brains and brawn behind the Bullet Web Studio team, has been travelling the world over the past six months or so on an adventure of a lifetime which has seen him visit some truly remote corners of this vast planet that we call … errr … Mother Earth. In the process, Andy has also, somehow, managed to reinvent himself as the hottest male gigolo this side of Zoolander. In the nicest possible way, of course. Yes, ladies, roll up, roll up, take your place in the queue for a date with Andy Howard’s alter-ego, Craig The Model, a fit serving of mullet-wearing, vegemite eating, VB drinking Australiana. Hmmm, I think he deserves a promotion.

Web design can be kinda tricky and expensive. Hell, we should know: it took us ages to get this current design for Lost At E Minor together. And costs? Our mate Uge from Aquabumps reckons he needed a second mortgage to fund his latest redesign indulgence. Read more

Crimea X is the coming together of two offbeat, disparate characters, DJ Rocca (Ajello, Super Sonic Lovers, Maffia Sound System) and Jukka Reverberi from 90s Italian glam cult rockers, Giardini di Mirò, who have often have been compared with the sound of Mogwai, Arab Strap, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. We asked them about their favourite music and they started with The Smiths song, Ask [listen below] ‘I saw them playing live on Italian TV. It was during the 80s when I was extremely young, and I’ve never stopped listening to this song’. Read the rest of Crimea X’s Secret Playlist.
I love the curated selection of abandoned swimming pool photos on Feature Shoot today, featuring work by Carlo Van de Roer and Albert Jodar, amongst others.

YOU'RE SAYING (4)

Thanks for the comment Francis. No, Craig doesn’t think he’s Zoolander… he was born out of too much time ‘on the road’ with the boys when everyone has too much time on their hands. That, and we needed a Bullet demonstration site for a new design. We don’t like ‘normal’ demonstration sites, we like doing something a little different. And we like humour. A reasonable choice, no?

Dude – that hair’s out of control. Craig needs a trim!

I actually think this is quite brilliant! Craig is so surprisingly into himself that I, as a viewer, couldn’t stop looking at these pictures. I even when on and clicked on the You Tube’s links- which I never ever do.
It just makes you want to be as proud of yourself as he is, and then you can really get away with anything…
Good for you Andy! It’s a hilarious mockery …

If the zombie apocalypse looks anything like Max Kauffman’s artwork, we have nothing to fear because there will be cute zombie birds. Also, zombies in Kauffman’s universe prefer Eskimo kisses to brains. Read more

Scott Teplin’s candy-colored paintings and incredibly detailed line drawings of wrecked vehicles as well as his Sims-like images of surreal, fantastical urban structures express both malaise and wonderment at the spaces we have created for ourselves in modern life. Read more
Before MTV, MySpace, and viral marketing, album covers had the potential to make or break a band. First impressions count, and many a music geek have purchased albums on the cover artwork alone. So what these guys were thinking is simply beyond me. Although, if anyone has a spare copy of Devastating Dave the Turntable Slave then I know someone, ahem, who could take it off you. Read more
Heavy metal and hip-hop are perhaps the most popular forms of rebellion for kids the world over. In Malaysia, metal — particularly black metal — has taken such a strong hold that the Fatwa Council there banned it, fearing that the music would compel listeners to rebel against religion. Contrary to the council’s intentions, black metal is as popular as ever in Malaysia, and is a recognizable cultural touchstone there, as indicated by the above clip from the 2005 film Filem Rock.
Analog electronics by British outfit Belbury Poly (Jim Jupp and Eric Zann) make me believe machines have souls and the ghosts of obsolete recording devices are haunting the dusty stacks of libraries debating the relevance of 60s avant-garde music and counterculture.
