The corporate world has become an easy target in the age of the Internet, when everybody knows a brand’s logo at a mere glance. As an idle advertising major, I couldn’t help but appreciate the pure honesty and truth behind these parody slogan ad ideas. Read more

Perhaps you already have a drink named after you. Maybe your favorite band is tantamount to a few ounces of hot mountain swill. Maybe your ex is an 8 oz. glass of rot-gut bathtub gin. If not, you let your fantasies run wild at Drinkify.

Book carvings are super. It takes me a frustrating lot of precision X-Acto knifing just to make a collage on a piece of notebook paper. I commend Guy Laramee for his patience in creating these unique works of art.

I had to do a double-take as I was in doubt that Kuksi’s sculptures were in fact sculptures. What brilliant detail and lifelike features his techno-heavenly statues contain! Read more

I’m floating on a cheery, peacefully slow-moving river in the shade because I’m listening to Real Estate’s new release, Days. Early REM. Remnants, Feelies-ish guitar picking and other hints of mid-late 80s awesomeness abound on the 10 song album from these New Jersey tune craftsmen. Keep an ear on this band.

Here in Austin, odds are that your neighbor is in at least two bands. The music scene is as vast as any other American city, and then some. Being noticed amongst the chasm that is the Austin music scene takes more than luck or knowing the right people: you have to be genuine, you must have talent, and you must do something to differentiate yourself from everyone else.

Hobo With A Shotgun might require a new genre. It doesn’t quite fit into ‘horror’, ‘thriller’ or ‘comedy’. It’s a little bit and a lot of all the above. First created as a fake trailer for the Grindhouse series, sort of like Machete, it was decided that Hobo With A Shotgun become a full-length feature by writer and director, Jason Eisener. Read more

I had somewhat forgotten about Jad Fair over the years. After watching Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King years ago, and being rather touched by the story behind Jad and his bandmates, not to mention their music, I’ve been unable to find much by way of recent activity. Then I heard he was playing in my hometown, Austin. Jad Fair live: this should get interesting, and interesting turned out to be an understatement. Read more

Brad and Jessica Lauretti are the brother and sister combo that make up the folk/Americana/psychedelic band This Frontier Needs Heroes. Their new album, set for official release on May 10, is entitled The Future and is full of earnest, thought-provoking lyrical matter ranging from historical figures to babies in outer space. Aside from the beautiful music and songwriting craft, the album cover is in 3D and comes with a set of 3D glasses.

This is a first. We humans created a space-traveling vessel that just orbited Mercury and was kind enough to take a photo to send back to its creators. The earth and moon are the obvious bright spots in the lower left quadrant.

Yeongwoo Kim exacts modernism and functionality into his artwork. It’s hard to imagine his Pouring Light lamp looking out of place in any decor. I really, really want this. Read more

Down with OCD? Well, well so are we! And, so is this guy, who was nice enough to share some found photos and post them on his Tumblr page.
The idea of high-rise farms and gardens is nothing new at this point, but I still find the concept compelling. This Vertical Forest designed by Milan-based studio Stefano Boeri Architetti is another interesting version of the idea of urban reforestation.
There’s something that seems personal and honest in Jaime Zollars’ work with the expressions on her characters’ faces as vital to the narratives encapsulated in her paintings as the compositional elements.

Finnish folk band Gjallarhorn is named for the horn that the Norse god Heimdall blows to announce Ragnarock — the end of the world. The bands music is far from dark, however: their brand of Scandinavian folk music incorporates mouth harps, fiddles, flutes, and even didgeridoo in a melange of cheerful, but ethereally beautiful tunes sung in Swedish.
