Best track ever, part XV: Amazon
Amazon, to me the ultimate techno track, produced by the almighty Underground Resistance from Detroit. I remember collecting mixtapes on highschool called Powerhouse some 17 years ago, on which I first heard this song. If I’m correct it was on number 14…

This is what I call a great interface

Good vibes baby
I mean, man, look at that car stereo… And the dude driving the car… You can buy this record by only looking at this video without the sound on. Even then you know it’s good.
(Thanks Vio!)

Go and see: The Strongest Man of all Time
If you read our previous blogpost about Iceland and its heroe Jon Pall Sigmarsson, and you didn’t grow up in the 80ies, go and see this documentary about the world strongest man of all time. As stated below, we couldn’t find his grave but we at least did something to honour the man.
(Thanks Justin!)

The land of Jon Pall Sigmarsson
Jon Pall Sigmarsson, during the eighties the infamous strongest man of the world, was, next to Geysir and before Icesave came into the news and Björk entered the stage, probably the only thing well known coming from Iceland. While we were there last week for the Iceland Airwaves festival, we tried to find his grave to honour him and Iceland, but really nobody could tell us where his grave was. But luckily we saw much, much more. I’m not going write it all down but I can tell you this: we love Iceland. A lot. Friendly people, fantastic vibe, astonishing nature, quality food, great music scene. One thing for sure: we are definately going back next year. Ceck out our pictures here, and our videos here.

A lot of Ingos on the wall
In T-Town you will see a lot of Ingos glued to the walls these days. That’s because next friday Klub Tilt: Berlin Schwung will be held in 013. You should go there, because we all do too! Katarie as a DJ, Sea Captain Plonk E as the creator of the logo and poster, Mickey Tilburg as an artist of one of the records that will be spinnend and finally Archie as a financial sponsor! Succes guaranteed. So see you there.
Oh and, if you will grow a moustache and you can show it, you and / or your girl will get free champagne!
Read their, yes indeed very similar, blog here.

Iceland Airwaves tomorrow!
Tomorrow the Kobayashi group will fly to sunny Iceland again. Not for holidays this time but we’re going to attend the Iceand Airwaves festival. After checking out some of the bands on the net (let’s be honest, we didn’t know 90% of the bands that are coming) we only feel more excited. Some of the things we discovered you can check out here below (FM Belfast, Ben Frost, Hjaltalin, Cancer Bats). Gonna try to update the blog while we’re there, so keep posted!

Arabidopsis thaliana
Is the name of this sucker. A result of the Nikon Small World - photomicrography competition: photo’s of tiny objects that emerge when you put a microscope in front of a camera. Below you see a Spiny Sowthistle, whatever that may be, and some fishscales.

A shame they don’t make ‘m anymore like these…

Paaaaaarty!
With a banana, a skeleton with still some meat on, fresh green draperies and a girl who looks like a clown who is holding the banana. Succes guaranteed.

You’re a nostrum, you old quacksalber you!
Very nice early graphics concerning quacks and nostrums. The word quack decends from the Dutch word kwaksalver who was a somewhat shady medicin man, back in the days. More here.
