On Her Majesty’s Secret Service: epic score by John Barry
by Although the music I make is electronic and undeniably pop, one of my musical mentors is the film composer John Barry, who passed away earlier this year. Barry’s legacy of film scores is diverse, but he is most remembered for this 007 films with the 1969 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service being his and my favourite. A perfect mix of drama, beauty and sadness.

Marc Newson to design Sydney’s New Years Eve displays
The curvilinear Marc Newson is kind of a rock star amongst designers. He has been extremely fortunate to design such a diverse selection of ‘things’. He has been enlisted by Sydney City Council to design the displays for New Years Eve in Sydney this year. I trust we’re in for a geometrically curved welcoming to the new year, hopefully devoid of the glitz that is normally thrust upon us.
These guys had me at the name, but the quality and distinctiveness of their retro-modern, screen-printed design aesthetic is just as strong. They seem to be quite productive, yet no work seems to be better or worse than another. They must have very good quality control procedures.
Fancy video for the new Space March single
Space Cowboy is a track from the new Space March album, Monumental, and is mixed by legendary producer Mark Saunders (The Cure, Erasure, Depeche Mode, A-ha, Tricky). The video was shot in Mungo National Park in outback Australia and features many fancy video effects to distract you from my over-acting.

Google recently demonstrated their ability to predict flu outbreaks across America weeks in advance of the outbreaks themselves. It would seem that they are more than just a pretty search engine. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ve now teamed up with Life Magazine, what was the cornerstone of photojournalism for the Twentieth Century, to digitize 95 per cent of their image bank that never saw the light of day. Now millions of photos stretching from the 1750s to the present day are available on Google Images at the click of a button. Read more
Tallest Man on Earth, the rasping Swedish folk singer-songwriter and one of the unsung heroes of 2008, recently recorded the beautiful song A Field of Birds, a nice adjunct to his summer album release, Shallow Grave. His sound is so loose and unmanicured, and carries a poignancy reminiscent of the rusty, early Bob Dylan.

Who says telling the time should be an easy task? Pleasing to the eye, not so much on the brain, Nooka watches are arguably more concerned about aesthetics than it is about function. Created by artist and designer, Matthew Waldman, its bar graph-like function lets wearers see, rather intuitively and visually, that time has passed by. We love it, but good luck trying to work out exactly how much time has gone by.
