Young Studios brings the flashcards
So far, the Eye Candy section has featured design, photography, painting and work that is beautiful and belongs – in one form or another – in the pantheons of the artworld. This very special and highly experimental edition (I fear Lope might smite me for this post) features something a little more candy, a little less eye. So here’s the story:
The verbally austere folks at Young Studios have a project. Every mother-stuck-in-traffic-with-a-chatty- four-year-old’s dream project in [...]

Gentle Friendly / drone the pop way
Gentle Friendly begins as an environmental experiment in instrumental hodgepodge. After a friend rescues a drum-kit and some coffee from “a skip” David and Daniel [ and their drum-kit, their coffee, their friend and two old keyboards ] get together and start making enough noise to make the neighbors complain. Though their baptismal attic is no longer a viable venue, the London duo still makes noise-pop that is everything but neat. Sounds accumulate, loop and come back to bite you in the ass, [...]

Story Time with William Giraldi

This is, at least, what some would have us believe and what we Gophers might have started preaching (if only out of fear of the rapidly wagging index finger) if [...]

Mark Weaver we love you very much
A couple of weeks ago we started our annual “things we’re suckers for” list with an [ adorable ] website that looked like an old computer desktop. Today we bring you the second installment of the series: things we’re suckers for 002: collages that incorporate 50′s imagery. The faded colors, mechanical composition, basic geometric shapes and beautiful typefaces keep driving us into drooling countries, and damn, Marker Weaver is a hell of a good cropper and paster fella.[...]
