The New Strokes Album? It's A Punk-As-Fuck Fireball


The New Strokes Album? It's A Punk-As-Fuck Fireball - Talking Heads - NME.COM - The world's fastest music news service, music videos, interviews, photos and free stuff to win: "They’ve recorded part of it at The Cloisters in Harlem which is like a medieval castle/museum. There was one track I heard that sounded like it was underwater and seemed to have fish sounds on it but I was also on mushrooms at the time, so who knows?

In any case, you should think of them as a punk-as-fuck fireball coming towards the UK at a vast speed. Brace yourselves."

It is space-saving (as any assembled furniture is);

It looks fresh and appealing."

This site uses your twitter stream to make their commercial.
Give it a try. A pretty cool idea.

The Toe Mouse!


Toe Mouse! -- Engadget: "the wireless Toe Mouse concept is primarily intended to help out people with upper limb disabilities, who aren't able to navigate in the usual manner. Just to score some extra flair points, designer Liu Yi also points out it has a 'streamline model that symbolizes the motorboat surfing the internet.' So it's not just practical, it's also poetic."

Excerpts from 1980's Dynamite Magazine.

D-Y-N-A-M-I-T-E!: "

Published by Scholastic throughout the 70s & 80s (and actually up until '91 or '92), Dynamite was aimed at a slightly older audience in the middle school range. Dynamite was the brainchild of Jenette Kahn, a follow up to her first popular magazine Kids (which was written for kids, by kids and reminds me kind of a forefather of kids media movements like Nick News with Linda Ellerbee and the like), and it probably provided the framework for her eventual appointment as the publisher of DC comics in 1976 (at the astonishing Doogie Howser-esque age of 28.) The magazine was the blueprint for the other Scholastic publications that would follow (including Hot Dog! and Bananas), featuring pop culture spotlights, games, puzzles and activities for kids 8-12."



Again, like Hot Dog!, I was pretty much completely ignorant of its existence growing up which I kind of regret. Today I thought I'd share a portion of a 1984 issue that featured a National Lampoon style article on Mr. T (which imagined what it would be like if Mr. T changed his famous look…)
