CREATIVE CRISIS

Remember Downtown 81? Well, it looks like Basquiat’s love interest from that movie, former fashion model Anna Schroeder, isn’t doing too well these days…

WEPAD

Although rumour has it that an American jounalist destroyed an iPad after more than 90 (!) hours of non-stop-use, our friends from Cupertino sold so many hundredthousands. They will somewhat be rivalled by a Berlin-based company offering the WePad who state that their device will have useful connections, like the good old USB!

Fine Birds make fine Tweets

@mono_tweet gets you the latest from mono.blog, plus all the best from mono.kultur.

INTERVIEWS, THE REAL THING

Normally, the formula is quite simple: You (or a journalist) meet(s) someone, there is a talk, a conversation going on. You are talking, possibly bullshitting a little, arguing, maybe provoking – shortly, you have an interview. We at mono.kultur love and live these very moments, and do our best to present the achievements in the [...]

THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

Again, it is Apple Macintosh that put goosebumps into my skin today. Because after having thought about the iPad not more then an hour or two, these guys made me do it again. The once punk-rock-on-silicium dream of being different whilst also knowing it turns out to lead into a blind alley of thoughts like I’m-nothing-without-a-soon-achieved-world-supremacy or [...]

YOUR SOUL VS. YOUR MONEY

iPad. OK, might be cool, but the new wheel it certainly is not – at all. Although neither will be the rumoured Google Tablet PC, but it is hinted (alas, in German only) to be much more versatile than Apple’s iPad which is being bashed for being no more than an ultra-cool remote control for [...]

BACKBONES

Speaking of backbones and such… these guys certainly have that, and they obviously know how to turn a phrase or two. The rather short and precise “ich kann nicht mehr” by Unseld gives me the howling fantods each time.

A ‘GAMECHANGER’

A big storm is brewing in Los Angeles…. the Museum of Contemporary Art, financially battered and in desperate need of fresh blood, has unaminously voted in Jeffrey Deitch as its new director. A SOHO gallery impresario, Harvard MBA, ex-Citibank VP (he created its art advisory business), and current king of the downtown scene (see: Nest), [...]

THE CHANGING VALUES OF MALES

After we heard and wrote yesterday that Men’s Health had used the headlines from October 2007 for their current issue, it turns out they’ve been doing it for years! This is just too good… It seems like us men are just obsessed with the same concerns over the years (sex, money and sixpacks, non surprisingly). [...]

NAUGHTY PETE

Gossip sells, they say, so in an attempt to spruce up our blog a little, here’s some gossip for you: according to the Daily Mail, Peter Doherty, eternal enfant terrible, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday in Berlin for smashing a car window at the end of a drinking binge, after asking repeatedly [...]
