My Secret Playlist by Dengue Fever
We asked Senon Williams, bassist with Los Angeles-based indie rock band Dengue Fever, to tell us his Secret Playlist, the lowdown on the music he’s listening to at the moment, and the first track he propped was Radar Bros’ When Cold Air Goes To Sleep: ‘Jim Putnam writes the most timeless and beautiful songs on earth. The video for this song, for some reason, haunts me. I can’t figure it out. The music is majestic, and then there is the band Kiss-rocking air guitar with a man dressed as a boy cowboy? Excuse me, I have to go to my laptop and watch it again’.
Nelson Slater / Memory Girl.
‘He ran around with Lou Reed and the Andy Warhol scene cutting everyone’s hair until he ended up cutting a record called Wild Angel. Great songs that reflect the decadence of the time’.
Willoughby / Wonder
‘I like the pace of this band’s music. Feeling good? Feeling bad? This is good music for every mood. Or is it just good? I like Willoughby, also, because the record is great from start to finish. There is no, “oh damn, I got to skip this track” happening’.
The Kinks / Have A Cuppa Tea
‘This song reminds me of a good friend trying to describe to me “the perfect cup of tea”, and she basically can’t find a bad time to have one. She’d drink black tea at 3am and be asleep by 3:05. I’d still be listening to the record at 3:45′.
Charlie Wadhams / Free Up Your Schedule
‘This is very romantic. Charlie must be a romantic. I feel romantic when I listen to him. I think we can all learn a thing or two here. If you want love, make the time. I’d hope this is what Charlie does, or he could be a lost soul fighting to figure it out’.
Secret Circuit / Roll
‘In this song, I really dig the Afro Beat influence. The way Secret Circuit mixes analog with electronic is so musical at its core. Going to see Secret Circuit is like having a visit to outer space. Seeing all the gear they brought, I worried if there was enough power on the block to make it all work?’

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.

Miss Miza is a fine example of that breed of illustrator who lives as fully immersed in the world of graphic design as she does in illustration proper. It’s nice to see her taking her own approach to this camp, an exceedingly fresh way of utilizing the same familiar digital illustration tricks that, more often than not, leads to a heck of a lot of redundant illustration.

No, this is not a still from a Dr Who episode. It is, instead, the facade of the Wotruba Church, built between 1974 and 1976 and located in the beautiful Austrian suburb of Mauer, the 23rd district of Vienna. Now, if only all religious buildings were so damn adventurous. It would kinda make Christmas mass more enjoyable. Read more

I’ve been admiring the work of Portland illustrator John Klassen for a while now. I’m irrepressibly drawn to his muted, textured landscapes, in all their mysterious glory. No coincidence then that a Coraline section should have recently appeared on his site. It just makes me want to see the movie even more. Read more

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
Scanners’ new single Salvation
I love this track by London based rock group, Scanners, which is off their latest album, Submarine. Having toured with acts such as The Horrors, The Wedding Present, The Charlatans, Electric Six, and Juliette & The Licks, Scanners could well blow up in 2010. Figuratively speaking, not literally. No, that wouldn’t be fun.
