The UK has been developing some serious talent in the hip hop/dubstep/grime game for a long while now and it’s always a beautiful thing to see kids who were running the mix CD and club circuit game now getting signed to majors. Production values are getting slicker and tunes are gaining crossover appeal, but still appealing to the original heads. Sincere is the next one to blow. This tune seriously drops hard.

I’m a huge fan of getting tattooed and the tattoo culture. I recently stumbled upon Tattoo Age on VBS.TV, and I’m hooked. The series follows tattoo artists Dan Santoro, Grime, Troy Denning, Mike Rubendall and Freddy Corbin as they discuss their craft and the state of tattooing today. With the watered down tattoo reality shows on television, this series stands above and beyond. Future tattoo artists can learn a lot from these guys.

I don’t know how I stumbled upon this, but it’s fantastic! Totally London and totally futuristic grime, dub step energy. It’s the debut visual feature from director Jonathan Howells and documents an audio visual journey through the margins of urban London, soundtracked by dubstep and grime from the forthcoming Dusk and Blackdown CD, Margins Music. It features grime MC Durrty Goodz, singer Farrah and a cameo from Blackdown himself and was shot on location on the edges of London, including Southall, Green Lanes, the Isle of Dogs and Edmonton.

Says Van She bassist and vocalist Matt Van Schie about the Bush Tetras track — Too Many Creeps — from 1982: ‘I LOOOVE this tune. It opens with a perfect snare roll, and then the counter bass and guitar rhythms make it so cool. The lyrics are even more valid today. They’re one of my favourite bands of all time, and so many people try to do what they did for real. What a time! I wish I was born back then in New York, hanging out with these kids. Ahhhh!!’
The work of Australia’s Ben Frost is always interesting. He’s known for his controversial art juxtapositions that confront contemporary Western paradigms in our advertising obsessed society. Crapitalism is on display until November 3 at Opus Gallery in Newcastle, UK. I do hope any disgruntled viewers refrain themselves from slashing his work with a knife, unlike the infamous 2000 Australian episode.

One-woman noise act Child Bride makes droning, ambient, sample-laden, tribal noise that sounds like a pagan cyber-witch mourning the death of her shaman.
My Baltimore friends might appreciate this t-shirt homage to Billy Ripkin, brother of Cal Ripkin Jr., whose 1989 Fleer card showed him holding a bat with the words ‘fuck face’ written on it.

Pencils made from recycled newspaper
The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.

Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
