SF: Hey Morgen what is this site?

MS: it's a site where these guys record bands that are passing through town on tour and post the stuff online to download. They record the bands in one take, live all at the same time without overdubs, warts and all. I like what they're doing and they get some interesting stuff on there sometimes. I like the dirty projector tracks on there too... check out - Daytrotter

Things are changing

Things Magazine included us in their most recent post about the explosion of visual weblogs. Shortly thereafter they exceeded their bandwidth. Thanks anyways.

Parra's Box Party

Amsterdam's coolest guy Parra came to LA last week to celebrate the publication of his Arkitip feature issue. And what better way to celebrate than by drawing on stacks (and stacks) of cardboard boxes pulled from the trash. The one-night event took place last Saturday at the Smart House in Venice.

North Tiles | Bouroullec Brothers

f114_bdkvadrat14_large.jpg I was looking for materials to make a baby room for my soon to be son when I saw these. The North Tiles system is a new way of building flexible walls with independent modules. Like anything from the Bouroullec Brothers I am afraid to ask how much they will cost. I'm a sucker for a warm, colorful, flexible wall system. I see myself staying up all night cutting industrial felt......

adcouncil_intro.jpg I love any creative agency in Sweden that comes out with their own brand of jeans. Oh, and their work for clients is brilliant too. Here are some short cuts because the site is pretty deep and some of the best gems are hidden. Here here, here, here.

Paper 24-Hour Store

 paper_store.jpg

Last night I went shopping at Paper Magazine’s 24 Hour Store. Killer goods in abundance from Colette, Family, Ooga Booga, Mollusk, The Smell, Orange 20 Bikes and more. If you’re in LA and want to check it out, the store will be open til 6pm tonight. It’s the perfect spot to pick up a $375 Toby Wong box cutter for your dad and a pair of Damien Hirst Levis for your other dad… It's My Two Dads!
