These guys from Manchester are causing a bit of a stir combining a washed-out organ-drenched sound with a punk aesthetic that comes through more in their imagery than their music. They might be onto something. See them live tonight at Point Ephémère in Paris! www.wulyf.org

BOYISH

Normally I would let the boys post something relative to this genre, but I couldn’t help myself. If you haven’t heard of these guys from Arizona, then check out the videos above. “BOYISH”, directed by Jackson Casey showcases amazing skills, rando video effects and pure unsponsored style. Not only have I not seen skating like [...]

Rude Boy

the_clash_rude_boy_LG

This footage of The Clash was actually filmed for the movie Rude Boy (not the Rhianna song) playing in front of a packed Victoria Park, London in 1978; an odd but interesting film that pieces together a loose story-line of a fan Ray Grange (who becomes a roadie for the band) and the bands life touring [...]

Wes Lang x Chateau Marmont

nice-and-easysmall

Our friend and long-time collaborator, Wes Lang, has a show opening tonight at Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in LA. At a place so steeped with excess, intrigue and straight out debauchery; Chateau Marmont is an interesting place to do works referencing ‘American History’. Taking inspiration from Kippenburg’s Hotel Drawings, his surroundings and own self-reflection; these drawings [...]

Haroshi

harvest-haroshi-skate-destroy-recap-9

I’ve thought of a lot of things to do with old skateboards, but none were ever really as involved as this. To take the Screaming Hand and give it another life as something almost more rad than the original is quite a feat. To a skater or not, Haroshi‘s wooden sculptures are pretty amazing. Crafted [...]

Wish You Were Here

FPO-FLYER1

‘Football Casuals’ were young blokes (read: football hooligans) with working-class roots who hung around football games in Leeds and all across England in the 80′s (high time was between ’84 and ’88) getting into all sorts of mischief. Unlike Skinheads wearing chunky Doc Martens, the Casuals went under the radar with their dress, which allowed [...]

We Love Lillian

56451_2542_Margy-399x500

This age of fashion photography is long gone. After working for Harper’s Bazaar from the 1940s to the 1960s, Lillian Bassmann no longer liked the direction in which it was going; deciding defiantly to destroy decades worth of negatives (her life’s work) and move towards more personal projects. Only one forgotten bag of negatives from [...]

DEAD MAN

dead-man-neil-young

This album is no Harvest Moon. It’s entirely instrumental (except for some dialogue from the film) and was recorded by Neil Young alone in a studio improvising on guitar while watching Dead Man. His guitar rumbles manage to fit perfectly to the films desolate landscapes of the Old West. It’s ambient and best played on [...]
