ECHOES OF VOICES UPDATE #02

Thursday, September 6, 2012

When we started our Kickstarter campaign for our forthcoming book with Robert Montgomery, we really had no idea whether this would work – we were new to Kickstarter and had no experience with crowdfunding whatsoever, and were also a little reluctant to ask for help in the first place. We certainly did not imagine that [...]

ECLECTIC KEYSTROKES

Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Alternatives in Print: F de C Reader

Tuesday, September 4, 2012

The F de C Reader is a pocket-sized biannual emergent from a certain redundancy in publications regarding the world of fashion.

BERNADETTE CORPORATION: 2000 WASTED YEARS

Monday, September 3, 2012

In this modern age of polymath creativity and work-as-life/style, it’s common to meet an artist who also makes ambient house and brands on the side. But these myriad roles rarely cohere conceptually; they’re usually the product of simple hustling and blogosphere groupthink. Bernadette Corporation is the opposite of this. Since its inception in the early [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: ALT-J

Monday, September 3, 2012

As this blog is a shared endeavour by most of our editors, it happens, and quite often actually, that we discover something new through our own blog.
