The Beer Spa: soak away your stresses in some amber ale
Contributor
While I’m sure we’ve all considered jumping into a frothy pool of beer, apparently a Beer Spa is actually good for you, with a healthy boost of B-vitamins and minerals in the hops and the giant stein soak could just help your skin. Yup, we agree, trust the Czechs to invent this boozy relaxation!

The Duchesses
Contributor
The Duchesses recently sent us a copy of their latest EP, By Morning, released in April at the Excelsior Hotel in Sydney. The atmospheric four-track cuts through the usual noise and delivers a rhythmic mix of guitars, beats and vocals. It has our Newcastle office surging (singing?) through the dark lows and the hopeful highs.

But when McBratney was looking for a location, he didn’t choose Newcastle, or even something like Scotland’s Garden of Cosmic Speculation. Instead, McBratney ventured to Arsenal Park, Transylvania, Romania. And it’s breathtaking.

Real Life Pin-up Models
Contributor
The original reference photos for the great American pin-up painter Gil Elvgren have emerged, with comparison of the original models and his pin-ups making great images. The inspiration for his work in producing the often suggestive, cheeky and flirty pin-ups is fascinating, with even these girls given a liberal photoshopping to push the message that little bit more.

Contributor
Monkey Shoulder arrived at Lost At E Minor headquarters with a cheeky note that it was a world first. A triple malt whisky? From three Speyside distilleries? We’re fans of the ballsy packaging with attitude. The scotch industry has a bright player. And it’s got a tail.

Ultra-slow motion skydiving from 14,000 feet? I’m the kind of guy who gets enthused, and this screams at me: ‘you have to try this!’ You?

Pranksters hit The Independent with URL trickery
Contributor
The Independent has a problem, and it’s hilarious. What was an innocent story on Kate Middleton and a lookalike jellybean turned into a storm after the original clean URL was sent around the Twitterverse as : ‘/utter-PR-fiction-but-people-love-this-shit-so-fuck-it-lets-just-print-it-2269573.html’. The Indy has a clever feature which allows people to share personalised links by keeping the article ID [...]

The most likeable Angry Birds?
Contributor
Angry Birds can enrage even the calmest iPhone swiper. I mean, that blue bird is a crap bird. But that boomerang green toucan bird that spins in reverse? That’s rage-inducing-material!
