Watching tourists recreate The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road album cover on the world’s most famous zebra crossing is quite a fun time-waster. London locals avoid the area like the plague, knowing they’ll be forced to wait to watch the next group strut their stuff, day or night. Read more

TOTEM: Cirque du Soleil in San Diego
Cirque du Soleil is an event shrouded in Franco-Canadian mystery. If you haven’t been, you wonder if a synthesis of circus styles could really reduce people to babbling superlatives when they return. Or if they’ve been bought. This isn’t a normal show of strength, flexibility or prowess. It’s a full five degrees of difficulty more than anything you can expect. Think one-footed unicyclists flipping metal bowls from their spare leg onto the head of another smiling-peddling-balancing-bowl-catching rider. Add costumes, colour, light and music, and you’re only starting to get warm to the spectacle that is Cirque. Read on for more images and a special offer. Read more

I won’t take away the fact that it does look cool. But someone is jumping the shark here I think and a little behind the times.

I saw a segment on “Better Homes and Gardens” (a lifestyle tv show), that showed you how to create this same exact artwork… Kinda takes the shine of the concept.

I have seen this about 20 times on various craft sites. They are melted crayons…. In a rainbow… I don’t get it. Why has this particular craft idea captivated so many bloggers? And then people seem inclined to put said melted crayons onto their wall, in a frame, like some kind of gay pride flag in their living room. I am mystified by this, it really isn’t all that inspiring or am I missing something here?
HAVE YOUR SAY
We featured Bruce Osborn’s fascinating photo series, Oyako, a little while back on Lost At E Minor. Osborn lives in both Los Angeles and Tokyo, where he works as a commercial photographer and directs TV commercials and music videos. This shot is one of my favourites from this series that looks at the relationships between Japanese parents and their children, running the gamete of society ‘including Kabuki actors, punk musicians, policemen, Buddhist monks, and porno actresses’.
Some people have too much time on their hands. Either that or this was an opportunity just too good to pass up. Regardless of the motivation, this street assembled iPod is pretty damn rad.

I usually steer clear of anything smelling of disco-breaks: the thought just bores me. But with Padded Cell’s new release, Night Must Fall, I see a bit of a U-turn on the horizon. There’s something really interesting going on here: it’s a cocktail of 80′s swank laced with woozy narcotic undertones and flecked with snappy drum loops: weird, undeniably dark and ominous, but nonetheless pretty damn satisfying.

nice – but reminds me of the Apple Nano ‘nano chromatic’ ads with the iPods arranged in colour order dripping….
but – hey – there are no original ideas right
