we're now featured on the website of the lovely lullie vintage's new web-blog, everythingstyle.com. so the name might sound like spawn of hello! magazine, but the layout is surprisingly proffessional for a non-corporation based website, and i wouldn't mind nicking some of her clothes either.

American Apparel vs Uni Qlo
We all know that too many people love American Apparel. But why? What is it that draws 15 year old kiddies and the last few nu-ravers to kit themselves in head-to-toe A.A. spandex and lycra? All it is is a big American (hint’s in the name) company taking over our high streets and our wardrobes, and draining our bank accounts.
By draining, we mean a landslide of funds from your last 4 birthdays disappearing in one bout of retail therapy. Why buy plain black socks from American Apparel when you get the same socks for £2.50 at your local M&S? Maybe it’s the novelty, but these aren’t just socks, these are M&S socks.
However it’s not a high end supermarket we prefer, it’s Uni Qlo. Better name, for starters, and a flagship store built to look like a rocket. And did I mention they’re Japanese? I love them. And their clothes. Especially the killer sales. And plus, even when they’re not in the sale, the clothes are worth every single penny – they have UV shield fabric. Case settled.
Dayglo Poster vs Streetpeeper.com
Everybody loves someone with amazing fashion sense. If that’s you, people like looking at you, people want to look like you, people in general would be quite happy slinging your wardrobe into a bin bag and running off into the night, never to be seen wearing those trackies again.
Some people are so devoted to documenting citizens worldwide with such panache that they began projects to show the slightly less fashion forward of us how it’s done. Such photographic records of streetstyle include streetpeeper.com, with snappers based in all major cities, and Dayglo Poster, Brighton’s own flickr project in association with Don’t Panic. You decide the best, but the latter just proves that a Brightonian can never go wrong!
Department of Eagles ... from the issue in November 08. we're revisiting this one because, really, they're an epic band. and they were in skins!
“But I tried so hard; no one does it like you” hum, harmonise and sing Fred and Daniel, the two (two!) musical extraordinaires behind Department of Eagles on their second album, In Ear Park, released October 7th on 4AD. Full of whimsical melodies, reminiscent lyrics and a bell-laden sprinkling of ethereal vocals, these two new Yorkers create curiously charming songs to tap your foot, hum and smile to. Perfect warm, melodic tunes to warm, melodic tunes to heat up your soul in the cold, wet months ahead! Yes, Department of Eagles, no one does it like you.

friendly fires
5 reasons why friendly fires should be razed to the ground
1. They started off as a post-hardcore band. Can you, or even do you, want to imagine the mini-fires strumming their own version of Hawthorne Heights in their daddy's garage? No. Exactly.
2. They're from St. Albans, a place so boring that the only notable thing that happened their was in AD 324 when the real St. Albans had his head chopped off. And it's paired with a town called Worms.
3. NME gave their album 8 out of 10. If I bothered to waste my money on that crap, i'd make it my lifes work to only listen to albums they gave under 3/10. Noone, I repeat NOONE who says half of Crystal Castles are the most cool person in 2008 should be allowed out of the cupboard under the stairs. Interestingly, Paris also came 9th in the Latvian airplay chart.
4. They didn't put this version of Skeleton Boy on their album:
5. Their videos are utter shit! Listen to their music and you (may) think 'oooh, edgy video material' but no, instead we're fed monochrome kaleidoscopes, silver spray-painted yoga balls and confetti.
That said, there are some blody brilliant remixes of their songs out there...

22/3 (again)
writing a separate blog is so confusing so here's the brain child.
on more interesting fronts, this kid: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=292866515 is going to do some shots for the next supra. trust me, the backgrounds will be the best since martin cole did the layout. he does take a hard beating
going to be so good!
4 weeks left of school, and counting
and i cooked! pasta puttenesca and honey carrots = best combination EVER and the only thing i can cook.

mothers day, another excuse for clintons to make annoying pink cards. i'm cooking dinner.
as for last night, celebrations might not be the word. think patrolling police cars, chavs with their backs up and frostbite. neat vodka will never taste the same again.
and never, ever go horse-riding on a hangover.
doing the next supra boring! though on a less exciting note, i can't be asked to do it monthly, so it's going to be a little more irregular. but bigger, which is a plus. and check out www.myspace.com/act_bored , he's going to be the new 'columnist', along with the almighty pheobe. riding the gap between fiction and fact, as it were. fun fun fun!

british weather is so deceiving. you leave the house in a cardigan/denim jacket and think 'woaaah, i'm going to boil'. give it two hours, and you'll be shivering like a hardened alcoholic going cold turkey. so yeah, it's march, but why can't it be constantly cold rather than temperamental?
then we went for a picnic, which was fun. now for pip's birthday celebrations.

"For centuries Mayday has brought people together and out onto our streets. People danced in the spirit of the coming Summer and the fertility of the crops. People marched in remembrance and solidarity with their fellow workers around the world. People gathered in their cities to fight against global capital and exploitation.
Smash EDO invites you to a celebration of all these aspects and more. In Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine there are people who will never plant another seed, work in safety or control what they produce. These are the people whose lives have been destroyed by war and occupation, whose pain is transferred into profit by the arms trade. The war machine can only exist through the demands of international capital and the greed of industry. There has been a long vibrant campaign to stop these war profiteers in the city of Brighton, come and be part of it
Smash EDO has been campaigning for over four years to close down EDO MBM/ITT. EDO produce arms components which are used against civilians around the world. Smash EDO will not give up until they close the factory down. Last year hundreds of people from around the country came to the 'Carnival Against the Arms Trade' and 'Shut ITT' demonstrations. Since then a network of anti-militarist groups has begun working together against the war machine across the UK. If EDO closes it will send shockwaves through the UK arms industry We want this to be the biggest show of force yet against EDO.
Bring passion, drums, flags, sound systems. WEAR RED
Meet 12 noon.... to find out where, keep an eye on http://www.smashedo.org.uk/ and independant media site http://www.indymedia.org.uk
This will be the first reclaim UK side since 1996 and we want to be part of it. You should too, as this event stands for something that is on your doorstep.. daily occurences of profiteering in the name of death, and far more than just the diluted incident reports you are fed by the national media.
These things take heavy networking and people power to show the world who's really listening.. you should be a part of that movement to help the growing numbers raise awareness of the monstrosities occuring for nothing more than financial gain."
