From a recent exhibition of JG Ballard-inspired artwork in London...

Feeling Cagey

Check out my friends' band The Nicholas Cage. Psychedelic Lo-fi awesomeness. They look like this....

Pixielated

My good friend Becky has just launched a new web shop selling "hand made cute stuff". It's really great, Japanese-pop inspired accessories, go and check it out here. You can also become a fan on Facebook to get regular updates about new pieces.

I like her stuff so much, I designed a logo for her.. which looks like this:

A Blue Sky Is Always In Vogue

I took this photo whilst out on one of the rare spring-ish days we've had in London over the last couple of weeks. I love it so much that I've made it available to buy as a print over at Redbubble. Check it...

Tilt Shift photography

Tilt-Shift photography is a fancy pants term for making photos of real life trick the viewer's eye into believing the captured images are those of miniature model sets. There are cameras available that will take photos like this, or by using lens blur, over-saturation and a bit of high contrast you can do it yourself with any normal photo..






But it obviously helps to make them look like a model if you take the original photos from a higher perspective (examples taken from HERE)...




Here's a great tutorial if your interested in experimenting yourself.

Destroy All Monsters

I recently stumbled upoon an exhibition showcasing a shedload of art associated with the cult garage band Destroy All Monsters. Suffice to say to blew my mind.. my camera ran out of film whilst there but i managed to capture the below images which merely hint at the insanity that was on show..



Although i'd never heard of the band before this moment, i later discovered that the members included Ron Asheton of The Stooges and Michael Davis of the MC5. Amazing. Check out more about the band here

FREE Televised Crimewave show

We're playing a special one off show next week (Wed 17th March) with our good friends Chapter Sweetheart. It's at the Lock Tavern in Camden and it's COMPLETELY FREE to get in.

We haven't played a show for 3 months whilst we work on new songs (which we will be recording in a nice shiny studio in April). If you want to hear what we've been up to, come and hang out...

Imperative listening

Homework for tonight is to listen and learn these three incredible songs...

Hoot

My girlfriend bought me this wooden owl as a present. Not only does he look the business, if you blow in the back of his head he makes real-life owl sounds! It's not often you get given stuff this cool.

Hidden Treasures

I managed to find myself down at the British museum last week and found it to be a complete treasure trove of cool and interesting stuff. From mummies, ancient Roman gods and even a complete, real-life sacrificial temple.. transported in its entirety all the way from Athens. It was like (time-)travelling all across europe within one awesome space..

Proof that you don't need fancy expensive cameras to take great photos... (just an iphone)

Oh... It's such a shame

I've just watched this cool little documentary on Jay Reatard, it's quite a good little insight into his day to day life and background, how and why he started making music.
