Existing in Copenhagen, Denmark,Telefon Til Chefen is a gallery and a bookstore that focuses primarily on zine-culture. The website is unbelievable in that the variety of zines and their insides are posted in a no frills manner, bith informing visually and statistically. According to their about statement, zine-culture is”fairly unexplored in Denmark.”, making this shop and galley quite unique.

Today, Shepard Fairey releases Kiss Me Deadly to the world. Coming off in two colorways, the prints title is rumored to reference the Generation X album of the same name. Whatever the case, it will be gone in a heartbeat. On a side note, check out this Australian student’s visual thesis (below).

I cannot wait to see this movie and it is not only because I am slightly addicted to this song. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Perfectly timed for a Christmas Tree weekend.

Arena magazine used to be something you looked forward to getting, some fashion, interesting stories, cool gadgets, and barley dressed women, majority of the time naked, photo essays.
Now with its new layout and formating, Details, I mean Arena, sucks. Everyone is dressed, (women that is) and from the cover with Beckham looking like a Chelsea boy, to the last ad of the mag featuring a mans crotch. Arena, has jumped the pink shark.

At least there are still have dressed women on the website….maybe they are redesigning it as we speak. Don’t get the wrong idea if you want nudity get playboy, I know I know, but I prefer the balance the magazine offered before that all. A straight mans fashion magazine.

I am not sure if it’s the music or the actual program, but Crayon physics is mystical! Draw objects on the screen as you play, create elements with a mouse or a pen, Crayon Physics will be the next game you buy for the Wii, (after nintendo sees this video)Download and play here.

I love a dirty martini with Belvedere, extra olives, and I love the ad campaign for “Belvedere Private Room” promotion. On there website you can pay for a private bartender, a massage, or a poker game, there are a few other specialties for the ladies, make-up, manicure…. the packages comes with some Bel, and a time limit. So if you have money to burn spend it here.

So I typed “Fat People” into the search on YouTube and this is what came up. Any requests? Leave them in the comments and I’ll pick one of them for tommorow.

Here in NYC it’s shitty out, and tomorrow is supposed to be even worse. Coming back after a long weekend is always tough. So sit back and laugh at one of the best moments on the silver screen.

This February, Bonham’s Fine Art Auctioneers in London will hold the world’s first auction devoted entirely to street art. While street art is nothing new, in the past year works from street artists have been seeping into auction houses and performing extremely well. Coming up this December, Sotheby’s in London will have a section of their auction devoted to street art, but nothing in comparison to Bonham’s. 100 works from the likes of Swoon, Shepard Fairey, Faile, Banksy, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat will be put on the block. Exciting for sure, this auction will definitely gauge whether or not this genre of art has the legs to be more than just a flash in the pan. Luckily, estimates are not creeping too high which gives the art a chance to break records.

Jezebel.com has the clip of Bindi Irwan, the daughter of mortal x-croc hunter Steve Irwin, performing on the Today show. She is rapping from her new “Trouble in the Jungle” album…. I am not sure what is sadder, her exploitation as a rapper, or the guys dancing behind her.

Were you one of the million fools who stood in line on Thursday night waiting get get into Best Buy at 4 am to buy something you really didn’t need? Did you notice in the fine-print on all the circulars that came in the paper on Thursday, each store had a limited number of items that were “on sale”? Which translated to, if you’re not one of the first 5-10 people in line, you’re shit out of luck.
