we want conscious clothing! nau!

Sometimes, good things happen when you key in the wrong URL. I came across the official website of clothing brand Nau, based in the sleepy American state of Oregon, with a name which means “welcome” in Maori (how Oregonites – Oreganos? – can make references to Maori culture I’ll never know) and, most importantly, pays […]

graff @ canal way

Let me back track to the canal now, after all that Banksy-worship, I can’t attribute these works to anyone since I don’t recognise the artists but thought I’d share ’em anyway. The first left makes me laff. Partly because it does try hard to be scary, but also I have the distinct feeling I have seen this […]

banksy: wall & piece

207 pages of words and colour pix from Banksy. This subversive, witty, visual commentary on war, religion, poverty, surveillance and more follows his Existencilism, Banging Your Head Against A Brick Wall and Cut It Out mini-books. Wall & Piece will set you back between RM80 and RM140 if you order it off Amazon, but is possibly one of the best things you can […]

secret satan!

I was going to start this post by explaining the concept of Secret Santas, but this isn’t about Secret Santas, it’s about Secret Satan, so I’ll just leave you to click the link, which will lead you to my favourite online information source, Wikipedia.com. (Drat. now you know how I get Detonate and Label Junkie […]

duke of cambridge @ islington

British pubs aren’t what they used to be – rank, smoke-filled flea pits that serve grub that could have been scrapped out of a dog bowl. The Duke of Cambridge in Islington bills itself as the world’s first certified organic (gastro)pub and is a blinding beacon of the future of food. It doesn’t view the concepts of profitability […]

cybertron streetculture?

Fancy being a technologically-superior silicon-based repository for artificial intelligence? www.cyborg.namedecoder.com might have the answer. Fill out the form, choose your robotic avatar, and let the site generate an acronym based on your moniker. More fun than reading the script to Michael Bay’s interpretation of Transformers, surely.

china power station pt. 1 @ battersea power station

Battersea Power Station is doomed. Its roof is gone, its long glass windows shattered, its cavernous heart empty, except for its iron ribs and red bricks. And today, sunshine, long shadows and the queues which have lined up for a last look at an imposing monument to industrialisation before it gets turned into an indoor playground for adults with expense accounts. It takes me 45 […]

victor g gets busy

It’s the year end and our local DJs are certainly getting busy in their bedrooms … making music (what were you thinking, tsk). These days, being able to mix a decent set just doesn’t cut it anymore, you need to be forward thinking enough to want to work your own productions. The best part about it is, […]

puma

Puma is one of the world’s most rated brands and Malaysia is one of the cheapest places you can stock up. Not that this was cheap at RM259.90 but worth it. Part of the latest line it includes some seriously smart gear like a patent golf bag in black, white and yellow that I’m having […]
