ALAS

Australian label ALAS makes the most wonderful and comfy sleepwear. You can find some of their organic and fairly produced pyjamas at Möon in Berlin or online where they now also happen to have a sale.

MONDAY MUSIC: SON LUX

This week’s top marks for effort go out to Son Lux, who have just released their new album Bones, for the painstaking stop motion video using nothing but pins and thread for their current single Change is Everything. I, in the meantime, am a little confused by the fact that the singer is male…

THE MUSE

A tale of a muse: violence and politics… The drama is not only going on in Greece, Brussels or the Mediterrenean Sea but also at unexpected spots such as the last runway show of Rick Owens.
‘I think it says Kill Angela Merkel or something? Is that what it said? I don’t know because [...]

CONCENTRATION

In one of his latest articles ‘It’s a Mistake to Mistake Content for Content’ for Los Angeles Review of Books, the poet and founder of UbuWeb, Kenneth Goldsmith mentions the consumption of goods of Internet –  reminiscent of what Terre Thaemlitz says in our latest issue about mp3s as a commodity and the-almost-violent-act of downloading whatever we encounter [...]
