B Boys fans take note. Brooklyn’s finest, The Beastie Boys, are re-issuing their seminal album, Check Your Head, along with the original sixteen bonus cuts, rarities and assorted nonsense. Word. There will be five different steelos available, from a digital-only package, to a limited four LP vinyl, fabric-wrapped hardcover book case edition. It’s available for a limited time at a special discount. You’ll also find band commentaries, videos, original album art, and a Wave Skater game. Kinda hot hot heat mixed with burning molten lava.

The bio of San Fransisco-based illustrator Jenn Porreca says it all way better than I ever could: ‘Some time ago, Jenn Porreca moved from the edges of the real world to the edges of the underground. Read more
Yes, we can make Barrack Obama sushi! Well, Ken Kawasumi can. The award-winning sushi chef from Tokyo Sushi Academy took out the 2009 championship title with his adorable presidential creation. He used small shrimp (amis) to form Obama’s skin, black sesame for his hair, and fish paste for teeth. Why can’t Australia have a handsome Prime Minister so we can make political sushi?
The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project involved fourteen countries around the world filling crates with the best of their local nightlife and exchanging their country’s crate with another.

Located on a mountain in country outside Mudgee, in New South Wales, Australia, a permanent camp designed by Casey Brown has been set. A timber structure clad in copper has been designed to have a closed state and an open state. From the closed position, the flanks of copper are hoisted and capture views across the valley. With an imagery of structures, materials and mechanics of old, there is something romantic about this foothold on the hill.
The work on the Buero NY website is amazing — it’s my art direction obsession! So much work, so many cool clients … what a fantasy.
Metronomy are a cool little London-based group headed by producer and remix extraordinaire, Joseph Mount. The sound sits somewhere between Autechre and Vitalic: clanging keyboards and body-gurning beats laced with an undercurrent of ominous electronica. It’s not as inaccessible as much of the more twisted electro-based stuff out there at the moment, although it retains an edge perhaps unpalatable for some ears. Yet there’s a catchiness to it that is clearly roping in the crowds: their live shows are a spectacle, complete with synchronised dancing and flashing costumes. If that floats your boat, they’re playing for free at the Tate Britain, London, on 27 September.
