FOOTBALL CULTURE 01

The world cup in Brazil is in full swing (and we’d be lying if we said that we weren’t interested, with the games running in the background more often than not), with Germany in the spotlight once again tonight. In the meantime, our dear friend and photographer Christian Frey has teamed up with journalist Kai [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: FKA TWIGS

As beloved Twigs is making the hyperventilating rounds of the Internet in the run-up to the August release of her first album, let’s bask for a moment in the glories of last year, when EP2 perfected the icy, broken-up sound of EP1, promising a new future for that tired genre of R’n’B. Sadly, her [...]

Treasures of Graz

Discovering my small, but with 270.000 inhabitants second biggest (home-)town of Austria through a brand new web blog I am totally surprised about what neat, new and partially forgotten treasures it has got. One special you should know about is the smallest gallery space (probably world-wide), the very much beloved ‘Stadtpark-Hansis’ and a curch window [...]

I’d never heard of Manfredas before today either, but from the depths of Lithuania reaches us one of the most entertaining music videos I’ve seen in a while… THE EN indeed.

BLOOMING POTT

Indie animation mainstay since “My First Crush,” (2007), her plaintive ode to infatuation, Julia Potts has in the last seven years only grown as an artist. Her most recent offering, “The Event,”  places her wry melancholy and signature animal-like creatures into landscapes that merge live-action images of Montauk and hand-drawn animation.  The digitalized special effects [...]
