“The remote settlement of Burketown, in Australia’s northern Queensland, is not the sort of place you’d expect people to travel thousands of miles to visit. With a population of just 178, Burketown sits in one of Australia’s most remote shires. But every September and October, a small group of individuals journey from all corners of [...]

Icaro Doria: Meet The World
“Icaro Doria, a Brazilian designer, has done some amazing graphic interpretations of common flag designs for countries around the world (…) comparing sections of each color on the flags to segments of their population. The campaign is called Meet The World, and has been running in Portugal since January.” [...]
iTunes + Podcasting
iTunes 4.9 was released today [download], with added support for Podcasting. What does this mean? Thousands of hours of free public radio and public-radio-esque white noise are now available for subscription and automatic synchronization to your iPod, with paid content coming soon. Not that podcasting hasn’t already been around for some time, but now that it’s gotten the thumbs-up from our silhouetted neon-dwelling friends, its sure to receive a lot more attention. But how will we break dance to NPR? Clearly Apple didn’t think this one through [...]
Jaga Jazzist: What We Must
“After heavily touring, the time came for the next chapter in the Jaga Jazzist history, ‘What We Must’. After months spent on writing new material, the band ripped it all up, went into an isolated studio out in the Norwegian woods and recorded the demo now known as the Spydeberg Session.

Suddenly, the booth becomes a door, swinging out to reveal a vast, open room filled with engineers, gadgets and big ideas. It’s as if Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory just yawned wide to welcome us. Only here, all the candy plugs in. ‘This is where the secret laboratories are,’ Hillis says.” [...]
Jesus Loves ALL The Little Children
“A puppy with two extra legs and a second penis is drawing curious stares at a temple in Pandamaran (…) The puppy, found by a temple caretaker at the entrance on Thursday morning, is being cared for by the temple committee.” [...]
Dschinghis Khan
This may or may not be new material to some of you, but as long as I’m posting about DJ Vader, I have to mention the late-1970’s-to-early-80’s history-themed German disco group, Dschinghis Khan. [...]
Hot This Jam Is
Might as well get right into it, and I can think of few better ways to do so than Darth Vader scratching Star Wars records (DJ Keltech, actually). [...]
