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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

HAVE YOUR SAY
Renowned German installation artist and sculptor Simon Schubert has created a lot of large-scale pieces, but his amazing images of architectural spaces created by carefully creasing and scoring paper have a huge wow-factor despite their smaller size. Read more
Instead of demolishing the old Paddington Reservoir, architects TZG have incorporated into the design a new outdoor public garden in Paddington, Sydney. The results are stunning, with the nineteenth century structures providing an amazing starting point. Looking less like a garden and more like an overgrown ancient city, with the remnants of historic walls and vaults, this new public space is well worth frequent visits.
I don’t know if it’s the name, the relaxed look, or the attitude that just don’t sit too well with authority, but something about New York based label Sophomore has got us reminiscing about the good old days. Their current collection has boys and girls getting back-to-basics. Think jersey sweats and loose tees, mixed with yoke necks, caplet sleeves and tapered waists. And you know what that means? The search for the perfect white tee and the ultimate summer singlet is over. If that’s not enough to get you inspired, pull out your denim, pop on some 1970s vintage Jodie Foster, and get ready to channel some Lower East Side cred.
People tend to think we illustrators carry around our sketchbooks everywhere. A confession: I don’t. That is one of the reason why I love looking at other illustrator’s sketchbooks. Virginia-based Tin Salamunic’s sketchbook tells me a bit about an everyday life in Richmond. And his obsession for cars. Read more
As someone who thinks more about traveling than actually gets to do it [damn, it should really be the other way around], it was good to come across the latest batch of Wallpaper* city guides the other day. Living vicariously through the pages of the Berlin edition at least made my next choice of holiday destination that much easier. Read more
I’m really excited about the Melbourne band Plug-in City. They remind me of Belle & Sebastian, The Kooks and Cut Copy all in one. What more can us New Yorkers ask for?
No wave is alive and well, if Brooklyn duo Talk Normal are any indication. Drummer Andrya Ambro keeps things cohesive with surprisingly precise percussion, occasionally banging on such things as an electric guitar and an old iron pipe rigged with contact mics, while guitarist Sarah Register coaxes some unnerving and discordant noises from her axe and array of pedals. The two take turns shouting abstract and absurdist lyrics with voices like hi-tech valkyries from a futurist nightmare.

Creative advertising packaging
Despite the intentions of many, it’s not so often that advertising — as an industry — truly thinks outside the box. Yet, when executed well, clever eye-catching advertising actually works. It does. As these examples will attest to. Read more

1970s and 80s Soviet Union buildings
Cambodian born photographer Frederic Chaubin is the editor of French magazine Citizen K. His photo series on bizarre buildings built in the former Soviet Union during the 1970s and 80s is absolutely fascinating. Read more

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.

Check out Mike Stimpson’s Lego reinterpretations of classic photographs. Stimpson’s version of Malcolm Browne’s iconic 1963 photograph of the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc is particularly twisted. Read more
