Make The Girl Dance’s Kill Me video clip

Parisian electro act, Make The Girl Dance, have just launched their second single, Kill Me, based around the question: ‘what would you do if you only had eight days to live? With $30,000 in their pockets, they sped their way through America, fulfilling fantasies. The result? A rock and roll road movie, trash and tender, subversive and romantic, poetic and dirty.

Joshua Scott

Joshua Scott is a still life photographer who lives and works in New York. This series, Marc Jacobs Lola, won first place in the 2009 APA Awards. Of the work, Scott says: ‘It was inspired by, and depicts, the new Marc Jacobs Lola perfume. We attempted to photograph the product without actually photographing the product; rather, the ideas and emotions that combine to create the product. The intangible qualities that are the essence of any physical product are reinterpreted and expressed here in this series of images’. Read more

Tiny Art Director: A Toddler and Her Vision

For three years now, Bill Zeman has been drawing dinosaurs eating girls and ‘poo-poo airplanes’, all based on the whims and demands of his daughter, Rosie. She has been giving him briefs since she was two-and-a-half years old, and she’s a tough and demanding critic. Apart from the extremely funny blog, The Tiny Art Director, there is now an equally impressive book to show for their collaboration. The charming Tiny Art Director: A Toddler and Her Vision is available through Chronicle Books.

Robbie Augspurger’s portrait photography

Working out of Portland, Robbie Augspurger got his first camera for his twelfth birthday, held at Showbiz Pizza Place, where there were animatronic animals wearing suits and playing in a band. He didn’t immortalize that rare vision on film that night, but ever since he can remember, he was interested in taking pictures. Read more

Made from 100 percent organic cotton and eco-friendly, this super soft tee celebrates a sinister world of kaleidoscopic colours and ripples of psychedelia, of serenading Queens, of dancing flamingos, of unimaginable euphoria. It’s all the work of Sydney label, Das Monk and it’s available through the Lost At E Minor online store for just US$40. Now, there’s one hell of a Christmas present, even if we do say so ourselves!

Now, c’mon, if you had the chance to lay a clever one liner on William Shatner, you would, right? Yeah. If you could look him in the eyes, gently brush his laser gun out of your face, and unleash that killer put down that you’ve had swirling around the deepest cavaties of your subconcious ever since episode six of the fourth series, you’d grab it with both hands and offer up a thanks to those strange looking alien creatures who rule our universe. Well, guess what? You can. And while you’re at it, why don’t you give Dustin Diamond an ear full, too. Ah, the joys of unrequited paybacks.

If ever there were an apt description of our time, it would be that we are the ‘mobile generation’, in every sense of the word. We are a people of movers, we are offered choice on so many levels. And, in this way, we are far removed — both in ideology and practice — from those generations before us, who were generally more static and certainly less transitory. Read more

The coolest band in Indonesia? I think so. White Shoes & The Couples Company describe themselves as a small band that is ‘influenced by Indonesian movie soundtracks from the 70s and inspired by the acoustic spirit of 1930’s classic jazz musicians’. But I like to think of them as carrying the torch for artists like Benny Goodman, Tahiti 80, and The Cardigans, all at the same time.

Listen to their track, Super Reuni.

Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. 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

The Swimmers

I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.
