Mover ski wear
|I’ve been completely deprived this snow season. Trips this year seem to be passing me by and my only relationship to the flurry is dinner with friends who have just arrived back from Whistler, Verbier, and Mammoth. Showing off their iPhone picture albums, I respond cheerfully, all the while wondering how dusty my skis and snowboard are, and if my snow clothes are collecting mold at this point. But all hope is not lost. I recently came across Mover and it has become the perfect compromise: ‘If I’m not able to see the snow this time around, next year I’ll treat myself to a fantastic trip and be back fully equipped with ALL the Mover products. ‘Dressed head to glove, I’ll swish down the slopes, just me, the powder and Mover goodies!’
Bringing the old-school world to futuristic fabrics, Mover has taken one of the oldest natural fibres known to man — wool — and fused it with the latest in fabric technology. The result is a merino wool laminated with a stretch lycra fabric on a Diaplex membrane. Hmmm, sounds fun. This innovation is exclusive to Mover and offers extreme comfort with a snug yet flexible fit, elegance and functionality. Just how Dominique Perret and I like it.

Shut Up and Play The Hits: an LCD Soundsystem doco
When you begin a band, do you ever think about how will it end? LCD said their goodbyes last year with some concerts for all fans to celebrate one last loss of abandon. Lucky for all those who did not get to be part of the farewell, there is a documentary sharing all the highlights.

Norman Saunders was one of the most celebrated pulp artists of the ’30s, ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, with his images adorning the covers of thousands of comic books, dimestore paperbacks, and trashy men’s magazines. The Illustrated Press has just published a retrospective of Saunders’ work. Read more
Very few band reunions get me excited, but I’ve consistently loved Faith No More since I was 13. I loved their pre-Mike Patton era, I loved King for a Day, and I even loved their track with Boo Yah Tribe on the Judgment Night soundtrack. Kerrang recently hinted that a FNM reformation is in the works for ’09, and though bassist Billy Gould has emphatically denied the rumors, the general consensus is that the reunion is on.

Sparks’ album Kimono My House is a demented mix of hard rock, pop, glam, new wave, and baroque pop. Why this record never caught on in the States I’ll never know. The songs will get stuck in your head and prevent you from sleeping. Oh yeah, and the keyboard player has a nice mustache too, as evidenced by this track above — This Town Ain’t Big Enough.
On those rare occasions when I feel the need to treat myself to an absolutely mind (and wallet) blowing meal, I love to come here. The restaurant is housed in an old diner (the old trailer style diners) which makes for some fun ambiance. Plus, the menu changes every week, so there’s never a written menu. The waiter comes out with a pen and writes the entire menu down on the butcher paper covering your table. Aside from all that, the food is absolutely unbelievable!
I used to have a Livejournal. I remember when blogging was so much more earnest and emo back in the mid-Aughts. Embarrassing. Good to know there are people like out_4_pizza, who use their blogs to post amazing digital art rather than every detail of their personal lives. Read more
I had the pleasure of seeing Duran Duran play a few weeks back in the balmy drizzle of New York’s Central Park. I always thought the guys had more cheek than they were ever given credit for. But don’t be fooled! For a band so rooted in the immediacy of disposable pop, they wrote some timeless songs, none more so than The Chauffeur.

A little infectious lollipop rock anyone? Feel free to embarrass yourself singing along at the stoplight. If the other drivers give you that look, roll down the windows and spread the love.
