SONG OF THE DAY




The Go! Team - "Ladyflash"
This sweet little diddy comes from a UK band that I was fortunate enough to see live at the Coachella Music Festival years ago in Indio, CA. Ladyflash is the second track from their debut album, "Thunder, Lightning, Strike." The music itself really doesn't do them much justice. They are a riot live on stage. There are six members in the band and they are all very talented. When you get the chance to see them live you will know what I am talking about. Almost every member in the band is blessed with skills for more than one instrument. They rotate every few songs like an entertaining audio game of musical chairs. Their sound comes from: two drum sets, guitar, banjo, bass, crazy vocals, keyboards, and the melodica. The end result is a mess of sound that somehow makes sense. The music is upbeat and kickback. I know the album is about three years old, but the music still holds up. Enjoy...










P.S. Yes, this is the same band featured in the ad for the new PS3 game, Little Big Planet, with "Get It Together." (Also a great track, but not my personal favorite from the album.)

ODDICA T-SHIRTS


I think Turney is the one that got me on to this. Oddica is a great place to get some shirts and stuff. With the holiday season coming up, seems like you can't go wrong with getting that special someone a cool tee to rock. You'll probably recognize alot of the artists as they have a great royalty program to support them as well. When I got my shirts from them, they packed it full of goodies (stickers, buttons, post cards, etc.) They also have a PDF magazine/catalog you can check out here.

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #116


From Stefan's Blog:

Now, I don't want to put any pressure on you, but I think there are stories here. And as always, I'm counting on you to tell me what's going on. For example ***spoiler alert*** what's the relationship between these two monsters? Are they a pair? A team? A couple? Master and pet? Master and student? Or did one just suddenly sidle up to the other? (Incidentally, when was the last time you had occasion to sidle?) Are there words spoken? Or grunts exchanged? Is there food involved? Or a purchase of classified microfiche? Inquiring minds want to know. Won't you please...

"HERD" CUSTOM SHOW by ITEM

I just ran across this on the KR forum, and from the looks of it, it seems like it is totally gonna rock! Adriean aka item has developed and crafted many elements for this custom show based on Star Wars icons like AT-AT's and Speeders as well as other well known pieces from the Star Wars galaxy.

Here is the info from
Adriean:

The show is called 'HERD' and will consist of 12 'rebooted' AT-AT's (both vintage and re-issued models). I'll also include other elements like wall mounted light boxes, pink speeders above and a few other nuggets. The show will be ready for early '09. I'm just waiting on the gallery here in Edmonton on my exact dates. From there i'm hoping to take it to Toronto and Chicago.

It's not a straight-up custom show as it's being treated as my first official solo exhibit. I'm normally doing group shows with my furniture design stuff. So this is a whole new avenue for me as i've pretty well got tired of designing tables and chairs for other people.

I'll release new pics in the weeks to come, but I have nothing 'official' other than that sneak peak.

I am totally looking forward to seeing more pics of all this stuff as time goes on, and I will be sure to post follow up news as soon as I get it about when and where this show is going to be. So be sure to check back for more info on this upcoming event!
