La banlieue...

Found out about this bloke a while back. His names Mohammed Bourouissa (french as you might of guessed), Basically he stages moments of tension and the power relationships which exist within the ghetto-like suburbs of Paris (la banlieue). The series is called 'Périphérique', which from what i can gather means 'the outskirts' or something like that. Heres a few of my favorite images.


From what I've read online, his works now getting exhibited alongside major french artists in galleries around europe. You can see more of the series here.

Here comes the milkmaid...

This being the second time ive spoke about Kid Harpoon and most probably the last, unless I remember to record the next time he recieves a pissed up prank. However the albums taking bloody ages to come out, and to be fair as much as I love his shit, 2EP's to listen to for nearly a year do get stupidly repetative. I've found a fair few demos and upped them for you bunch of darlins. Here they are x

Pauly Lomo

THE sickest LOMO camera ive ever come across. This pisses all over my £23 holga. The paul smith lomo fisheye is a top notch bit of kit. Does everything all the new holgas do with the option of using a hotshoe or the built in flash. Also made of metal unlike the plastic pieces of shit alot of us have. Retails at $150 from Paulsmith. I know what I'm getting in my stocking.

Krinky eh?

KRINK for the lady types.

Fashion vs Sport

I touched on this subject a few posts back about Aitor Throup. I STILL havent been to the exhibition but have been reading more and more about it. Heres a video of 1 of the artists at the exhibiton Alex Nash. He customizes shoes...dunno if i'd have the bottle to fuck about with these jordans.

Best. Comic. Ever.

This common people comic book, was a promo item which was included with some of the singles released in 1995. I want it. Apparntly you can get it on some record shop website for around £20. It did give me a bit of a 'lol' when i first read it. The characters look similar to 'gorillaz' characters. Cant find anything that tells you that though.
