Slings made from upcycled inner tubes of truck and bike tires
There’s a lot of green gear out there waiting for eco warriors to take them in, but a lot of it can get pretty apeish. Besides my trusty Freitag and a tarpaulin tote I carry for a laugh, I have one of these badass English Retreads shoulder slings. These are made from upcycled inner tubes of truck and bike tires, come with gorgeous metal rivets, and are tough as hell. Rather than kill an ungulate to make a bag, it’s like they’ve killed (okay, scavenged) a monster truck instead. Which feels great. Read more
What the world would be like without …
What would the world be like without Mark Zuckerberg? Ogilvy Brazil’s campaign for Forbes includes a series of invisible-man infographics that, erm, figure out the figures on what we all would be missing if people like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Tiger Woods didn’t exist. Funny how the one of Donald Trump goes ‘Less 20 Skyscrapers’ and ‘Less 185 people Fired in Reality Shows,’ but unforgivably leaves out something quite important like ‘Less 1 Comb-over’. Read more
Reminders photo series by Austin’s Erin Hanson

The thing with audio visual DJing is trying to find the image that looks like the sound. Hip hop tends to look like hydraulic cars; disco equals flares, cumbia equals cocktails on the beach, and dubstep, surprisingly, looks like levitating pallets of tomatoes exploding. Props to SaladUK for making that connection.

Our friends at College Humour have taken a decidedly literary tack with their latest spoof on newly minted classic book titles. We can’t wait for the next installment: The Girl Who Mistook Herself For a Hat. Read more
I’ve been waiting for a group like this. These New Puritans are balls in your face, 100 miles an hour, pure attack! A young British group that has most of the UK press in the palm of their skinny pale hands, they hint at a sonic mash of Bloc Party mixed with what White Rose Movement were supposed to be. What more could you want?
Listen to the These New Puritans track, Elvis.

My band, Bloody Panda, used to perform on stage wearing executioner hoods. We’ve stopped doing that, but I’m going to suggest that we all wear panda hat/scarves.
