Space is in too short supply to fill it up with unstylish objects. Even something as mundane as a stapler must be a beautiful expression of fine craftsmanship and impeccable design. If you agree with this statement, you should go get yourself one of these Hansen Tacker T-35s.
The work of Linda Kim makes me think a lot about the motifs that seem to be seeping into every artist’s work these days — forests, mythological creatures, crystals, geometric patterns, and new age psychedelia. Read more

Back in the day, New Zealand pop absurdists, Split Enz were the finest damn Australasian band around. This track, I Walk Away, off their final album — Spellbound — is their ultimate moment: a hefty dose of pure melodic majestry, wrapped around the aching lyrics and quirky arrangements of genius frontman, Neil Finn.

Where would we be without synths and drum machines? Probably still listening to Grateful Dead jams in the alleyways of Height-Asbury. Done well, the remix is a wonderful thing. Case in point is Royksopp’s rendering of the Kings of Convenience track I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From. And then there’s Riton’s version of the Mystery Jets song, The Boy Who Ran Away. A White Lines for the 21st Century? I think so.
