Oscar Wilde Meets Jersey Shore
by Oscar Wilde: ‘By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community’. What was he talking about? Was he giving prophetic review of Jersey Shore? Well, obviously so. The Importance of Being Earnest’s Algernon and Jack take on Jersey Shore lines in these hilarious videos.

Surfing at Rhossili Beach in Wales
Most don’t think of Wales as a surfing destination. In fact, most people don’t think of Wales at all. But the dramatic cliffs and breathtaking scenery that surround Rhossili Beach create a ‘surf sweet spot’, making this travel destination alluring to both surfers and nature-lovers alike. Read more
Traktor: new single from Swedish folk-pop group Francis
This Swedish folk-pop group has released an EP, This Must Be Blood, featuring Traktor [above], among other gems. They’ve been on the circuit since 2006, with their live performance being described on Last.fm as ‘an unleashed Tasmanian Devil singing heartbreaking gospelsongs’. Fun.
New spray paint and charcoal artwork by Steve Smid
I love this work by Steve Smid. It’s a vibrant cocktail mix of charcoal, oils, spray paint, stencil, and permanent markers, with an obviously deliberate delivery. Read more

HAVE YOUR SAY
Photorealistic painter Glennray Tutor doesn’t completely obfuscate his human hand behind elaborate techniques — his process is still rooted in traditional notions of painting, and his still-lifes of vintage toys and his depictions of evacuated Main Streets have a sad nostalgia about them that decries the contemporary veneration of concept over form and emotional resonance in art.

From Cyglo Tyres come these awesome bike tires which come with fluoro ‘long-lasting LED bulbs embedded into the tyre tread or wall to form a perfect ring of light to maximise the visibility of cyclists to other road users’. Yes, yes, that’s all good. But they look pretty cool, too. Read more

A site that brings together many types of book arts, with many examples of book binding, typography, altered books, how to guides, zines, paper engineering and more. A great site to explore the possible directions of book-based art, with some amazing examples of what clever people do.
These very sweet folks from Seattle supported Broken Social Scene on our last American dates of the Spirit IF tour. Although they haven’t quite hit their stride as a live outfit, the tunes from songwriter Grant Olsen have some very lovely moments that fall somewhere between Velvet Underground and The Everly Brothers. I think Arthur and Yu could take over from where Grandaddy left off, though with better songs. No offense to Grandaddy.
The current economic crisis has got us missing our frivolous spending past. But we need to be strong and resist fashionable purchases, right? Wrong. We’ve just got to get a little more creative with our rationalisation. And that’s why we don’t just want a hand-made one of a kind silk scarf from label Trust Fun. We actually need it. Started by Sydney-based graphic designer, Jonathan Zawada, this label’s signature scarves support our justify-it-to-buy-it philosophy with their multi-purpose versatility. Soft sheer silk in amazing one-off colour combinations just don’t go out of style, and with more uses than we can list, they’re one piece you can validate. It’s the rescue purchase we’ve been waiting for.
Send us cool stuff!
If you're in PR, you run a fashion label, or you just have an awesome product for us to feature, send it to us! We'll check it out. Heck, we may even introduce it to our 510,000 unique monthly visitors. Score. Right?
Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
