King Apparel have opened their first pop-up store in London’s Covent Garden.  Get down there and ask them what top secret in-store events they have lined up (they still won’t tell us, but they’re promising someone big).

Brains And Brawn

You probably won’t have noticed as he’s been blasting around the first seven circuits of this season’s F1 championship, but the Brawn GP car driven by the currently six grand prix winning Jenson Button is decked out in Henri Lloyd of all things. As is his crew, and indeed the man himself. Oh how times have changed…Formula One cars ARE much more rock and roll than yachts though.

 

Where Is My Mind?

We were fortunate enough to gain entry to the industry heavy Pixies show in East London last night. Playing to support the impending release of their Minotaur ‘best of’ box-set they unexpectedly stuck around for an hour or so to entertain the inebriated liggers with a set that ticked all the ‘can you play that?’ fan-shaped boxes to say the least. It was amazing. And readers of The Sun, yes Pixie Geldof was there. Give a monkeys. [Photos: Sam Ashley]

Don’t Call It A Comeback

Marking a long overdue return to form, Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell had me both roaring will laughter and momentarily out of my seat (seriously, the floating hanker-chief sequence made me launch my budget snacks skyward). Simply the best horror movie we’ve seen in years you should definitely check this out as soon a you possibly can. And dig out a copy of Evil Dead while you’re at it. Oh and don’t be mean to gypsies.

Went to the opening night of Charming Baker’s show last night and to say it was, ‘triumphant’ is an understatement. Pictures of the show to follow. Get to Redchurch St.

Serious

May 29, 2009 By: admin Category: Uncategorized

Went to see this guy last night, and describing the show as ‘excellent’ just wouldn’t do it justice. It made me proud to be a son of the North, or something like that. Anyways, please go and see Serious Sam as soon as you can.

Design Issues

Here in sunny London we are bombarded by free papers of varying quality, with The London Paper being one of the big two dailies. Now I don’t know if the art director has the hump or if it’s just a quirky ‘design feature’ conjured up over one two many lattes, but obscuring the ‘e’ and ‘r’ on your masthead so the title of your rag echoes its dire content is inspired. Pap. Pap.

German (bike) Porn

May 27, 2009 By: admin Category: Film

After posting Kyle Green’s picture about shooting fixed gear bikes with bazookas we thought we’d re-address the balance with this. Following Germany’s rabid fixed gear community Fixed City looks like it could be quite interesting, well as long as you’re not one of those ‘brakecycle’ riders. And they wonder why the backlash is in full swing. Doing it yourselves.

Sadly this isn’t a shot of our office, it’s the ‘Bastard’ flagship store in Milan. Housed in a converted cinema you can read more about the place you wished you worked here.

Macho Macho Men

Namco for reasons only known to themselves is bringing its bodybuilders-running-through-buildings arcade game Muscle Koushinkyoku (”Muscle March”) to the Japanese WiiWare Channel. Exciting huh? Released on the 26th of May for 800 Wii Points in Japan, that’s frankly where this should stay. ‘Weird’ doesn’t even come close to describing it. Shall we muscle?

The second episode of PWBC’s Internet show is up now and it’s maybe even funnier than their first. Having ripped the shit out of O’Dell, London’s gulliest skate gang give fixed gear bikes a deserved kicking. Watch it HERE bruv.
