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."

clap your hands say yeah, yet another band to decide one or two words just don't cut it for the name of their musical collective, have never really struck a chord in my mind. that was until i listened to their song 'love song no. 7' off their latest album 'some loud thunder'. it's pretty haunting, a wee bit cold and absolutely fab.
QI christmas special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! steven fry is a legend, even if his autobiography is a bit hard going. have you ever wondered what your really saying when you're waving a fan? and do you like ice? do you like air craft carriers? then you will love this special tv program for the festive season. oh and remember, it isn't fire that kills you, it's the smoke.

facebook... wow! i made one today and besides being surprisingly different from myspace, it's not all bad! the search function is massively entertaining!!! apart from that though, it doesn't seem like the revolutionary new site the internet needs to liven itself up. or maybe i'm just looking in the wrong places.
flamboyant bella...
making happy synth-pop with lovely harmonies, meaningful lyrics and generally just a bouncy sound, flamboyant bella are the kind of kids who will fill you up with warm bubbles of happiness on these rainy winter afternoons. with singers both sides of the gender line, the usual complement of drummer/bass/guitar and a space-age synth section, are these chirpy youngsters the future of music? i hope so! darkwave, you can suck their poppy arses.

black balloon by the kills is such a good song! anyone who was smart enough to go to their gig (i did, and the man bumped into me ;)) will probably remember it as the one with the clapping in it, but whatever you remember it as it's GOOD.
Black Balloon - The Kills
"reads like scrubs: the blog . . . funny and awful in equal measure" the observer
now this is a verrrry verrry very good book! it is pretty much like scrubs, only for the nhs. it's interesting, down to earth, comical in places, depressing in others, and trust me, you'll treat a junior doctor with respect next time you meet them. either that, or you'll laugh in their face and feel really glad you chose to be a secretary.
freddie robins....http://www.freddierobins.com/
using sh*tloads of machine-knitting, mrs robins creates bizarre, twisted, thought provoking and, errr, interesting pieces of 3d knitting. interesting as they are, i don't think your going to want one of these for your new sweater.
'craft kills' and 'headcase' respectively, both by freddie robins
copycats are in supersuper!

7 days til christmas
in the words of sam, braw crimbo! are your presents wrapped? is your tree up? are you buying alexandra's single to get her to christmas no. 1? (i hope not)... whichever way you point your eyesies at it, christmas is round the corner, and everyone loves the good old festive season! so what do youuu think the best part of christmas is??? don't you just love stockings though! my uber-darned pre-WW1 (probably) stocking will stay with me forever... but what is your favvy bit?
has anyone else had that horrible 'safe drive, stay alive' presentation?? isn't it horrific! we had a different drama production on safe driving a while ago which was dreadful enough, but this new one today had a proper reinactment! gosh it was traumatic. but it makes you think, i'm not a fan of cars anyway but when you see what car crashes do to people it makes the cons of driving seem massive. one of the people who talked to us about crashes was a fireman; one time, he went to the scene of where a car had collided with a train, and they had to collect up the body pieces left on the track. he found an ear, attached to a piece of skull. and what is really amazing is how these people seem to love their jobs! i can see the appeal, horrible as it must be you're saving lives and the feelings you must get from that must be amazing, but at the same time you're experiencing such harrowing circumstances. at any rate, really, do not drive if one of the 'fatal four' applies to you! and remember people, safe drive, stay alive!
Discover Guillemots!
yes, guillemots do actually have some good new songs after the disastrous 'get over it'!
apparently hope is back in! take it or leave it, seeing the silver lining is now unavoidable! so next time you're feeling a wee bit iffy, say thanks to your bus driver, wish the cashier a merry christmas, or go all out and buy someone some flowers. is this the best trend evaaaa? i think so.
you gotta love her. channel number 3 has never done better! rosemary shrager, we looove you

don't you just love that? it almost looks like a tapestry, though you'd have to be pretty driven/organised to sew that. try doing applique and embroidery on an a1-size very detailed drawing. textiles will be the death of me, i swear.
jeremy warmsley offers us a shocker of a debut album! i don't know about you guyz out there with your cassette players/cd whatevers, but i certainly never expected mr. warmsley's folky toes to dabble in the altogether different streams of electronically powered instruments but the man has, and what a magnificent swim it must have been! drifting away from his earlier and decidedly more acoustic starting, his new-found love of all things electric while keeping his beloved guitar close at heart can only be a good thing, judging from the little .mp3 babies of this unlikely marraige! 'how we became', as unlikely as it may seem from such a bizarre match (especially when you listen to 'i believe in the way you move') of mr acoustic and her ladyship electronica will be one of the best albums you will hear in a long while. give something back to your christmas tree this year. put this album under it!
i recommend sins (i try), lose my cool, if he breaks your heart and dancing with the enemy... and craneflies has some really beautiful piano in it too!
what an odd thing to have for coat hangers! jesus' no. 1 fan? or satans? wuteva, these things are pretty cool even though they are just a little bit more weird and, i hate to say it, freaky. i certainly would not hang my parka on these things. though they might look quite nice as lights...
if you haven't listened to 'to lose my life' (white lies' latest single) then either read decembers issue (when it's finally finished), burn your hair or PANIC. and whatever you decide on doing, listen to it now! plus the video is greaaaaaaaaaaaaat, period.
they're playing the underage christmas gig which is this saturday. which i can't go to, but christmas family times must come first, i suppose. for all you super lucky people with tickets, they're also playing the NME tour in january or february or whenever at the dome.
if you can, do see them live, it's worth forking out on travel costs because they're a bloody ace performance

sunday
i have just realised, how utterly horrible would it be to misspell your myspace url. one time i did do an incredibly complicated url for piczo that i got off a book, but that's different; you can change them.
now for some music!
earlier i stumbled all but accidentally onto this:
Discover The Killers!
yes it's by the killers, and yes it's not from their first/second albums which could be seen as really their only good records, but it's still pretty ace for the boys with a k. i'm not very good at reviewing things, but i'd say this is almost an extra part for bones. the same synthy wallpaper, the same vocal furniture. why isn't it boring then? welllllll! it's catchy, has nice lyrics and is generally pretty gooooood! you should listen, you really should.
Discover Albert Hammond Jr!
niiiiiiiice comforting guitar riffs and great bass too. imagine if foals ditched the uber-annoying yannis and spent more time around the campfire. they'd probably sound something like this. or maybe if you put the whitest boy alive and the strokes in a pot and hung it over an au-natural fire for a while, prodded them with a wooden spoon everytime you remember to, you'd probably serve up a big bowl of tasty albert hammond jr. seconds? i should hope so.
Discover Au Revoir Simone!
who loves au revoir simone? WE DO! and this latest album, reverse migration, is a collection of all the brilliant remixes their arty fab friends have done. if you only listen to one, listen to number 2. it's great! or even better, listen to them all i say.
oh and ALSO, more favourites to be added in a minute
and music lovers, go to deezer.com. they're cooooooooool

scanners
scanner are quite possibly the most ingenious invention ever
especially so when connected to a printer
set it to black and white, and wahey! your own personal photocopier, a discovery (perhaps more of a no-brainer) that i am fully enjoying/taking advantage of.
watch out, issue 8 is going to be fuuullll of art
now for some morbid poetry.
i 'm standing
on a spot
where 5 years ago
a woman died.
another family trouble
piled high
on a quivering tower
of her other living furniture.
in the morning
her car stayed in its garage
her skirt suit stayed in its dry cleaners bag
her family troubles stayed in their beds
and her blood curdled
in the dust
beneath the floorboards
the night before,
a kitchen implement
implemented a brand new meaning
to the reason
it was forged
and suddenly,
a creeping
swelling pool
of not so eternal lifeforce
found friend in a foreign sanctuary
past the heart
of a form
to the heart
of a home.
between the floorboards
over wood
carpet
and brick alike
memories, past
and thought
stain
where i am standing
where 5 years ago
a woman died.
