Benjamin Johnson and Vince Agostino

I like the retro colours and subtle detail that permeates the work of Australian illustration and design duo, Benjamin Johnson and Vince Agostino.

Crazy chairs from the Campana brothers

Who said chairs had to be boring? Or practical? This range of chairs from designer brothers, Fernando and Humberto Campana, nicely blurs the line between form and functionality, art and science. Read more

Summer Abbott said | 3 December, 2008

Hoping Tricky’s Knowle West Boy record is in the crate.

Katie said | 3 December, 2008

SOKO! I’ve been meaning to buy the album for months but alas my brain is always elsewhere.

zain said | 3 December, 2008

Ali Hassan Kuban - From Nubia to Cairo

DR. Ew said | 4 December, 2008

Joe Tex - Live and Lively - The snippets Ive heard are so good and Im intrigued by the fact that it’s a fake live album a la KISS!

alex said | 4 December, 2008

maybe the new Tv on the raidio?

God knows…

maybe even the new metallica ha!

MC Bad Genius said | 4 December, 2008

dr dog - fate. if i win and that cd is in the collection, i will soil myself.

Bella said | 4 December, 2008

SPOD- Superfrenz. In fact, I hope all 50 of the cds are SPOD. Then I would stand in a circle of cd players and play them all a few seconds out of sync with each other. That’s the only way to listen to SPOD.

wilson said | 4 December, 2008

maybe some black kids would be nice

ange said | 4 December, 2008

the new Killers Cd :)

Patrick said | 4 December, 2008

Well it says a stack of new CD’s, but can that just mean that its a stack of CD’s that are still sealed, but came out a while ago. If that’s permissible, then I have lost my copy of “The Village Green Preservation Society,” by the Kinks, and have been missing it quite a bit. If it must be new, then I would love to see a copy of that new Kanye album that has nothing to do with the education theme. Even if its not as slick as his other stuff, he is still one fly musician.

thomas said | 4 December, 2008

is there some bon iver in there?

Marcus said | 5 December, 2008

The new Deerhunter album - Microcastle…or maybe even the new Animal Collective if it’s out in time.

Luke Rodely said | 5 December, 2008

Metronomy’s Nights Out maybe Fujiya & Miyagi’s Lightbulbs, Avalanches new album!!!! (im a dreamer)

Tim said | 8 December, 2008

fight with tools by Flobots… quality albumming

Freya said | 8 December, 2008

The first and self-titled Eddy Current Suppression Ring album. That would be heavenly like a dessert you don’t even need to have, but want all the same.

rachel said | 9 December, 2008

there’s a TV on the Radio CD in the mix!

Mass in F minor by The Electric Prunes.

clare said | 11 December, 2008

the bowery by firekites

Timosaur said | 14 December, 2008

Anyone else have the problem of going to a record store and not being able to think of one artist you like…hmmm. Today I am curious to hear some more Fleet Foxes, do all their songs sound so old?

artgirl said | 17 December, 2008

i missed most of the music in the 80s due to being otherwise occupied (are you intrigued?). so any really good music of the 80s would be great. And, since you don’t know what you don’t know, i’d be very happy with any really, really good music that i don’t know about.
how’s that for covering my bases?

Rafael Antunes said | 17 December, 2008

I heard that the new Franz Ferdinand, Tonight, is in the pile.

Is it true?

Jeanette said | 18 December, 2008

so I just signed up for this awesome newsletter and I’m glad I did so because this is just a rad website fyi :)
but anywho I’m really hoping that santogold, vampire weekend, or even some animal collective. I’m also getting into Mums and Lykke Lui. I just really love music and anything worth listening to is already featured on my playlist. I’m open to all kinds of sweet tunes :D:D:D

cat said | 18 December, 2008

Sigur Rós, Múm, For a minor reflection, Godspeed you! black emperor, Radiohead ofcourse, bladiebla. Orr, just some amazing sound that I haven’t hear of. :)

Jason said | 20 December, 2008

I hope the new gang Gang Dance is among the pile- I’m developing a music selection rational based on bands with very silly names. The last one was Ra Ra Riot…

Paul Pederson said | 21 December, 2008

MAD RAD.

Mike Cairns said | 22 December, 2008

Hmmmm, I have been enjoying Beach House recently so one of their records wouldn’t go astray.

Niels K said | 24 December, 2008

Cheers

Zeke Clough’s obsessively detailed drawings harken back to the mind-expanding glory days of Zap Comix. His oeuvre oozes a sense of dread, with lines snaking across the page like coiled intestines and the crosshatching of shadows growing like mold on dead flesh. Read more

There’s no shortage of bands channeling the surf rock and psych of the 1960s, but the Super Vacations’ sloppy vocals, drunken guitar riffs, and blown out production give them a knowing swagger that has as much in common with Beat Happening and Thee Headcoats as with the Pyramids. They seem to take pride in how bad they are live, but their debut record shows a lot of potential.

Kristian Olson’s illustrations look like Magic Eye posters that have come to life as marauding, fractal-shooting creatures from Technicolor hell. Read more

Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to sing like Neil Finn. His voice rasps with all the sincerity and integrity of a thousand heartfelt melodies. Heck, I’d probably trade my prized collection of Archie comics for just the chorus on this song. Driving Me Mad? You betcha(dupa). This man is a treasure. Bow low indeed.

Do the Norwegians know something we don’t? On a remote island near the North Pole they’re going to build a seed vault that is able to survive future cataclysmic events such as asteroid strikes, nuclear war or climate change. Read more

Illustrator Hope Gangloff has a stack of her ‘election’ tees from the previous US election available for sale which she created with the talented New York-based artist (and her hubbie, no less!), Ben Degen. Even though they were done to mark Bush’s reappointment, they still kinda sum up her mood on the tussle between Obama and McCain. ‘If the election gets stolen’, she says. ‘What say we burn down the capital instead of blogging about it?’. Hmmm, now there’s an idea.

James Blagden’s neon fantasies

New York illustrator James Blagden’s work is so wonderfully trippy, I feel like I need to wear shades and a top hat when looking at them just to do them justice. Read more

Joe Sorren

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.

Edgar Muller’s three-dimensional street art

Some people are talented, others are just truly remarkable. German artist Edgar Muller makes these three-dimensional apocalyptic fantasy street art in cities across the world. His work is reminiscent of that of English artist, Julian Beever. Read more

Nigel Evan Dennis

The work of Chicago artist Nigel Evan Dennis is emphatically modern and sparse, with textures and clean geometric shapes dominating the frame. I get the feeling I could really relax and breathe deeply with one of these beautiful images hanging on the wall. Read more

Saira McLaren’s interpretation of the spiritual world

Saira McLaren is a Canadian born, Brooklyn-based artist whose blurred paintings of the natural and spiritual world are disturbing for what they reference as well as what they deny. McLaren has shown at Heskin Contemporary, New York, NY, Acuna-Hansen Gallery, Los Angeles, CA, and Mississippi State University. Read more
