Yo, yo, yo, it’s dirty bingo hall time! At Rebel Bingo, its all there: late night party action, this is hardcore bingo for people that have a passion for loud music, shouting and secrets. Which is why it’s so underground. Yes, that and the club rules, which include ‘No old people; No boring people; No hen parties; No stag parties; No work suits; No idiots. Dress Code: Weird, flash or dangerous’. If you’re in London, get your tickets quickly before it sells out. Because it does.

Midnight Juggernauts are another awesome Australian band. There’s something amazing going on in the land of Oz, with Empire of the Sun, Pnau, and these guys. I really wish they were coming to London to brighten up my dark, mysterious winters. Come on boys, you know you wanna!

I’ll let you in on a secret. If you’re heading East towards Brick Lane and are hungry, forget about all those cheap and non flavorsome restaurants, which surround the area door to door, encouraging you to come in for a cheap bite. Go around the corner, instead, off Bethnal Green Rd and you’ll find a Turkish favorite, Tas Firin. It’s such a nice surprise: even the décor has a charm, with shoes on the makeshift roof, which in turn is the drinks station. The hummus and halloumi are a must. My favorites are the Adana and Iskender dishes, but don’t order them together as the portions are huge.

MIIIIIIKKKKKKKKEEE SNNNNNNOOOOWWW. Well, actually, Miike Snow. While everyone is obsessed with his track Animal, I’m loving his track Black and Blue from his new self-titled album.

The brilliant video for the We Have Band song, You Came Out, was directed by David Wilson in collaboration with Fabian Berglund and Ida Gronblom from Wieden + Kennedy. The music is a fun electronic mix, and the video was shot over two days using 4,816 still images.

Walton Creel has created art with the use of a rifle given to him by his father as a present. Deweaponizing the Gun is an ongoing series where Walton puts an accent on his subject matter and creates pictures of animals which are traditionally hunted. His first experiment came about by creating a hole on a surface through canvas, though that was too stressed, so he moved on to aluminum, while also understanding how far apart his shots would need to be to create these amazing pieces.

I don’t care what any of you say, sequin leggings rock. They are so trashy. Forget about the wet look leggings, it’s so last year, girls. It’s the glamor, the trash of the 80s. I’m not sure how long these will last, but they are shiny and pretty and I suppose it’s better than my addiction to harem pants. Talk about flash in the pan.

Mission Motors, a San Francisco-based company, has made the Mission One, the world’s fastest electric motorbike. It can zoom up to 150mph and is powered by lithium-ion batteries, which are found in laptops and mobile phones. So its good news for green motorists who have a bit of cash. The first fifty limited-edition Mission Ones will retail for just under seventy thousand dollars. Read more

I’m bored. Hmmm, what shall I do? I know, let’s cast my hand. Using the I Want One Of Those hand casting kits is simple: get that magic plaster powder, ensuring it’s a smooth liquid, chuck it in a bucket, plunge your hand in the gooey stuff, leave it there for seven minutes, then remove your hand carefully and fill it with mixed Plaster of Paris. Presto, you have a new hand. Now for that much needed third leg.

Since coming back home to London from a short sojourn in New York, I’m getting serious hot dog withdrawals. But now I have the answer. Look, it’s a hot dog, no, it’s a bag, wow, it’s both. Designed by Hannah Havana of Garudio Studiage, these fun Hambags won’t kill my hunger, but at least it puts a smile on my face and reminds me of my beloved New York.

Squid London have bright ideas. Started by Viviane Jaeger and Emma-Jayne Parkes, they have launched a range of products which change color, their most popular being an umbrella that changes appearance as soon as rain falls onto the panels, revealing beautiful, colourful designs. You can get them at Beyond the Valley and at the Tate Liverpool in the UK.

Everyone who doesn’t live in London thinks London it’s a twenty-four hour city. Errr, it’s not. This can be frustrating, especially when you realise it’s the early hours of the morning and you want to carry on with the party. Look no further than Knight Hawk deliveries, at your service, coming to you with alcohol and food snacks from 10pm to 5am. What a wonderful idea, but there always has to be a downside. It only delivers to West and South London. Alas, we need another for the East and North.

I stumbled upon these trainers at Classic Kicks in Elizabeth St, New York. Stampd LA was started by Chris Stamp as a creative avenue customising trainers by hand painting pop culture graphics. He soon began collaborating with N.E.R.D and DJ Steve Aoki, making them one of a kind collectible trainers.

 

When looking at the beautiful paintings of Mamma Anderson, I almost get the impression that the art world is being forced to look back upon itself. The body of her work seems to present itself like a textured snapshot of galleries, coffeshops and well-designed interiors. The rough, folksy execution of these paintings stands in pretty stark contrast to the particularly slick world she chooses to depict. Refreshing, to say the least. Read more

I’m enjoying the writing on the recently launched The Epi-Cure blog, which discusses the ‘latest scientific studies on health and nutrition’, and features interviews with ‘expert scientists, dieticians, and nutritionists’. The site’s founder and editor, Michelle Grey, also runs tasty, healthy recipes from New York chef Benjamin Towill, including today’s installment: Stuffed Zucchini Flowers [above]. Hmmm hmm.

Wheeeeee! This game is so freaking fun! You move your cursor over each dot to make them split into four smaller dots ad infinitum.

Herzog and de Meuron, the Swiss architects, have led the way with this re-use of the existing building fabric of CaixaForum in Madrid. Rather than being slavish to the existing openings, the building has been cut away for a contemporary practicality. We think this is an example of heritage not getting in the way of progress. Check out a similar concept of a previous post re-using the city fabric, where we were dreaming of such thing.

We’re big fans of the diverse musical output of Barry Adamson, so we caught up with him for a chat. Read more

I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.

Car from made ice

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
