If I had to choose one label to wear for the rest of my life, it would be Sass & Bide. Take at look at their latest collection, Boogie and the History Maker, on the runway at London Fashion Week and you’ll see what I mean. Read more

You’ve got to love a label that releases a new swimwear collection every few months. Just as we’re heading into winter here in Australia, Zimmermann has to go and tease us with a smoking hot lookbook for their Autumn/Winter 2011 Cruise Collection. If I wasn’t already in denial about the end of summer, I certainly am now. Shot on the impossibly white sand of Hyams Beach by Aussie photographer Roger Deckker, the campaign is much grittier than the glamourous and polished shoots we’re used to seeing from Zimmermann.

Jonathan Bergeron, also known as Johnny Crap, does shirts and merch for horrible bands such as Escape the Fate and Avenged Sevenfold, but he’s got skills, so I won’t hold it against him. His ink drawings look like wood-block prints with their detail and precision. Read more

My friend Kevin Hufnagel, who plays guitar in instrumental tech metal band Dysrhythmia with Krallice’s Colin Marston as well as the new line-up of legendary death metal band Gorguts, has been composing pieces for ukulele. Hufnagel is probably the only person in the world who can make a ukulele and a popsicle stick sound metal. I can’t wait until he releases this stuff on record.

It’s funny how after a lifetime of training and practice to draw and paint ‘better,’ many artists regret the loss of the sort looseness and crudeness they had in childhood. Able Brown has retained an unrefined hand, which lends his drawings and paintings a humorous and even subversive air. Read more

I love the strong lines and bold color interplay in Jay Taylor’s illustration work, which succintly captures ‘life’s little imperfections’. Most of Jay’s work is created by hand, with only simple composition and color changes being altered in the latter stages by computer. Read more

Don’t Shoot the Puppy is one of the more difficult flash games out there, sure to engage you for hours. Strategy is the key, but quick reflexes and a photographic memory don’t hurt either. It’s rare that a computer game challenges the intellect and hand-eye coordination to this extent.

Breakbeat duo, Evil Nine’s new album, They Live!, is one of the standout releases of the year. They Live! is powerful second album after 2005′s, You Can Be Special Too, its gruesome lyrics paying homage to all those misunderstood zombies out there. The duo — Automatom and Pardytron — compiled a Secret Playlist for us, writing about their eight favourite songs right now. Their first selection? Why, Toto’s Africa, of course [listen below]: ‘The epitome of smooth music, words can’t express how much this song rules! When the synths come in and the drums echo in the night, I’[m immediately transported back to my youth. Some people might say this is a guilty pleasure, but I don’t feel no guilt. I just stick it on and bask in their mellow might’. Read the rest of the Evil Nine Secret Playlist.

A broken snare drum rolling gently over a scratchy acoustic guitar; a deep lyrical catharsis smothering a melody which is predictable but endearing. Your Rocky Spine by Great Lake Swimmers is a magical song; all wrapped up in three and half minutes of lustful introspection.
