Omni Chair
Sitting in an Omni Chair is an experience you won’t forget in a hurry. It’s like having a fully moldable friend to lean on at all hours of the day. Remember those scenes out of Live Forever where Noel Gallagher conducts his interviews on a throne in his own living room? Well, this chair is better. And it comes in a wide range of colours, too. Sweet! [note: girl not included]

Maree Horner’s Furniture of the World
New Zealand designer Maree Horner likes to drop old donkeys into children’s swimming pools to trigger her subconscious process.

FAIL! Man wears crack jacket to drug trafficking court date

New Banksy artwork angers the Catholic Church
Banksy has struck again, this time offending the Catholic Church with a bold artwork that critiques their stance on ongoing child abuse scandals. Banksy has taken a replica of a bust of an eighteenth century member of the Catholic hierarchy and added multi-coloured tiles to the face — pixelating it — as a comment on what he considers to be the Church’s cover-up. ‘I’m never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one’, Banksy noted. And who are we to disagree? Read more
Tattoo artist sued by ex-girlfriend for obscene design
Oh boy, this is so bizarre it could only be true. Apparently a Dayton, Ohio, tattoo artist has been slapped with a $100,000 lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend for tattooing an image of, erm, excrement with flies on her back rather than the scene from Narnia that she had requested. The reason? He’d recently found out that she had been cheating on him with one of his buddies. Damn! And here we were thinking this was the hot new look for trailer park trash crowd.

Lush was one of the best bands to come out of the indie-tastic early ’90s. They set the standard for shoegazey, ethereal pop from the British Isles, and they were about to break big with their 1996 album Lovelife before drummer Chris Acland hanged himself in his parents’ home. The band is a bit of a forgotten gem at this point. Let’s cross our fingers for a reunion.
