Great Album. Chilled. Sometimes Kraftwerk on Valium, sometimes Talk Talk on speed. 

Clinic hail from Liverpool, this is their 7th album and it’s very very worth a listen.

Synthy / Psychey / Groovey / while still retaining a sense of musicians actually playing live. None of that vacuous synth pop shit going on here.

Feel good with a dark squishy underbelly.

Free Download and new music video from The Witches.

This band is definitely a personal fave at the moment, they’re fucking ace live, moody, fun and dark as hell. They were our very special guests at the Inexplicable Acts Halloween party this year and their set was truly brutally good times. 

Light up and Listen.

Stage in the room The Island built for Apiary Studio’s “Cultural Apacolypse” event.

Band on the stage is a band called “Bad Guys”. They RULE.

The other pic is of the many cameras we suspended with a strobe light behind them at the back of the room. The End is Nigh sign HAS A REMOTE CONTROL. All the colours and lights were colour change-able and the cross on the back wall is made of strobes. FUN TIMES. 

We drank our weight in McNuggeteni’s. They are exactly what they sound like.

John Peel Fest New Music / Norwich Sound and Vision.

Some bands at the John Peel Festival of New Music / Norwich Sound and Vision this weekend. Went up with / as Vuvuvultures who played on Friday night.

A fantastical festival in Norwich where pubs and churches are taken over to showcase a shitload of new UK music (And LIARS). Good Vibes.

Paws is the video featured at the top there ^. Enjoyable. Givin off that teenage grungey happy nostalgic feeling.

Wet Nuns Soul. Blues. Blood. and RIFFS. 

Parakeet features members from Yuck and The History of Apple Pie. Catchy, fun, nice. Would definitely want to party with these guys playing. 

Palma Violets Bit of an NME favourite type, but honestly rather enjoyable. Rough and ready reverby likes-tambourines type band. 

God Damn Grungey, shouty PAIN.

Gum Takes Tooth Pretty fucking mental. Trippy. And brutal. Therefore fiercely entertaining. Would love to catch these guys live.

Honeyslide ambient and thrashy. pretty fun.

RZA. Rapper. Film maker. Hip-hop chess champion.. 

RZA via Fuse launched a new track, collaboration with Black Keys, the very same magic we heard on the Blakroc album. One of the songs for his upcoming kung-fu film The Man with The Iron Fists, which he co-wrote, directed stars in and musically awesome-ified.


Perusing through Fuse we also came across this enlightening article “RZA’s 10 coolest projects” http://www.fuse.tv/galleries/2012/10/rza-10-coolest-projects. Pretty sure RZA just became our hero. From Hip-Hop Chess Champion, scoring Tarantino, animated samurai shows with Samuel L, philosophy books, System of A Down side project.. it keeps going all the way to futuro ninja film-making. He is epically productive and we like everything he’s ever touched! Lest we forget the Wu..

TIMELESS: WATCH IT. Meet KS12.

Design fiction… Experimental Storytelling. Meet KS12. This short “Timeless” features one of our fave artists Rafaël Rozendaal and lots of fun thinking about the current digital era.

“The digital settles in as background. We remember less and query more. Our identity play would be considered schizophrenic in the last century. We have more friends than ever before yet know new frontiers of isolation. The quantification of our experience haunts us in the form of a persistent history. And we are distracted more than we ever knew possible. These circumstances are paradoxically a description of the near future and a diagnosis of the current state of affairs. The truly timeless is redefined – it has transcended that which is classic; it has become that which is never finished.

Timeless a video essay / design fiction by KS12”

Dishonored: Prequels and Game Play

Came across these super addictive Prequels to the upcoming game Dishonored on Creators Project. They have a SUPER ADDICTIVE storyline and beautiful bad ass graphic novelly animation.

Dishonored is possibly the most intriguing game we have seen in ages. It’s like playing out a sci-fi dystopian story with supernatural powers. Teleporting, possession… YUP.

You can play in stealth, or in fuck shit up mode. There are also some seriously awesome ways in which you can bring the pain. Can’t WAIT for this.

Below are some video on the game play, and some CREATIVE KILLS.
