Icelandic band Dead Skeletons video for Dead Mantra
by Dead Skeletons are a new band from Reykjavik, Iceland who I have been fully hooked on ever since watching their first video for Dead Mantra, a sinister, mind-bending jam that goes on for a good 10 minutes and still seems too brief. Their videos all feature twisted, tripped-out imagery, while their sound blends a hypnotic mix of Hawkwind, Spacemen 3, Wooden Shjips, Circle and Serena Maneesh into an addictive potion of its own.

ROA’s incredible large scale animal street art
Living in Brooklyn for the past two years, it’s frighteningly easy to forget what nature looks like without experiencing it on a regular basis. So it’s always nice to come across street artist ROA’s large-scale black and white animal work when I’m out walking or riding my bike around town. Read more
Lonely Canvas photo series by Matthew Taplinger
Over the course of the past few months, I started to notice a theme arising in the archives of my own photography work: lone figures standing in the face of adversity, desolate landscapes, beauty, and so on. I recently started compiling some of my favorite images which fit this theme, while continuing to shoot with this in mind. I hope to exhibit this series within the coming year. Read more
The War on Drugs: Slave Ambient
The perfect record to help make the transition from late Summer to early Fall: laidback, stoney country melodies, ala The Byrds or Crazy Horse, blend with spacey, intricate production, ala Spiritualized, and some thoughtful, Dylan-esque vocals courtesy of frontman Adam Granduciel. I can’t wait to take a road trip up North this Fall when the leaves start changing and blast these jams on the way.

Blood is the New Black’s line of t-shirts boast the line’s beautifully architectured promise of the shirts being pieces of art on their own. With an impressive line-up of artists contributing to the design, there is a variety of concepts in play: from loud abstracts to lomo film-esque photographs.

I don’t intend on tempting any grape cravings which some borderline AAs may be experiencing, but everyone deserves some red after a long day. Drop of the Day is an easy way to receive fantastic quality wine at an extremely competitive price. Sure there are places online that offer cheaper alternatives, but Drop of the Day offers quality wine that pleases your wallet and your taste buds, too. Better yet, there is a new drop available to choose from each day for around AU$9 per bottle. Hmmm, I recommend you go for the blends.
