Burning Man

The 2009 Burning Man festival kicks off today. Approximately 50,000 people will converge on a remote section of the Black Rock Desert in Northern Nevada for one week of art, debauchery and frivolity, culminating in the burning of an 85-foot sculpture. It is often said that trying to properly describe Burning Man to someone that has never been would be like trying to explain what a particular colour looks like to a blind person...but think Woodstock v Mad Max.





It's one of the top destinations on our list of places to visit before we die. If you want to know more about Burning Man check out this article that the one and only Mark Morford just published.

Sexy time

A very good friend of ours (who shall remain nameless) was doing the walk of shame home the other morning when she came across one of the fine stores that stock us, and took this photo.



We would like to have embarressed her further by posting a picture of her and a certain male model that she spent the night with, but this little story will have to do for now ;)

Hey, at least she didn't get snapped in a club photo with her boob hanging out.

The global downturn hits some hard

If you see a homeless person on the street today why not give them your shrapnel. Sure they're probably only going to spend it on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes but to be fair that's probably just what you were going to spend it on anyway.

M83

I feel an obsession coming on. For whatever reason I haven't heard that much M83 before, but our boy Tappy just gave us the hot tip that they are the shit and as usual he is on the money.

Their euphoric dreampop / shoegaze sound is the best we've come across since first discovering School of Seven Bells. In my crystal ball I can see their most recent album Saturday = Youth becoming the soundtrack to some long and lazy pool-party days this summer.

Thanks Tap!!
