Pixelschatten: a John Hughes-esque film for a new generation
by Pixel is a 22-year-old small-town blogger. Everyone can read about him and his friends online. His blog Pixelschatten used to be the hippest thing in town, but now the local fame has faded away. His friends go to college, have new friends and interests, and his girlfriend Suse is irritated by the private issues revealed on the blog. When Pixel realizes that everyone but him is moving on, he changes all their lives with just one post.
Pixelschatten is a unique cinematic experience, a quirky, melancholic, yet warm and funny portrait of the ‘generation Internet’, mixing the first-person point of you aesthetics of Enter The Void with the zeitgeist of The Social Network. But this time it’s not about the greedy entrepreneurs behind a moneymaking machine, it’s about the people that spend their everyday life online. It’s about you. And the spoilers for your life.

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.

Lisa Hix has an interesting interview with artist/graphic designer Allister Lee up over at collectors weekly. Lee has a collection of around 600 black magic markers, each one of which he sketches. When he gets to 1,000 markers, he intends to submit to the Guiness Book of World Records.
My undergraduate thesis involved a series of pieces much like those in Paul Butler’s What’s Within series, except mine involved porn. Needless to say, Butler’s work is much more subtle, evocative, and effective. Read more

I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
