Besides creating their own stuff and exposing it here, the Kobayashi group strolls the net for all eye and ear candy to share with you. Music, art, design, film, fun, you name it. Every day new posts, every day Archibald Kobayashi… more >>
Here we go again! The Hill Street Clappers step the stage one more time. Disco dancing all night looong baby. This mix is more or less the summum of all my favourite tracks of 2009. Vinyl and mp3, what the hell, all mixed up. Put these tracks on your iPads, pods, quads, whatever, and your feet will start shuffling for sure.
Next mix I wil try and add some voice of my own like my heroe deejeays Tim Sweeney and Bill Brewster do on their podcasts. So keep posted! Oh, and if anyone wants to put out his or her mix here? Just contact me.
The tracks that I used:
1. Absolute Voltage - Jay Sheheard - Compost Black
2. OOFT / The Revenge - This Sound - Instruments of Rapture
3. Raw Cuts #6 - Motor City Drum Ensemble
4. The Sunlamp Show (Disco Bloodbath Remix) - The Aliens - Channel 83
5. Vacuum Boogie - Floating Points - Eglo
6. Latin Combo - Ulysses - Wurst
7. Feverish - Camboche (The Revenge mix) - Under The Shade
8. Buzz in (Optimo rmx) - Boris - Scion Audio/Visual
9. Watcha Need - Lee Curtis
10. Found a Place - Tony Lionni - Ostgut Ton
Now, this is a painting I would never get bored of watching. I would love to have that on my wall somewhere. It tells everything about this world, that it’s just a ridiculous place really.
More great paintings by Paco Pomet you’ll find on his blog.
Did you know that most women like to clean in their underwear? And that they have strange rituals doing the cleaning? Filmmaker Justin Anderson teamed up with lingerie brand Damaris to visualize these facts. Result: a pretty interesting piece of film, called Chore.
Warning: partial nudity!
An oldie but still strong: Spike Jonze’s Ikea commercial from 2005. It gives me the same feeling I got from those sad xmas trees. But this little film helps me snap out of it.
A short movie by Spike Jonze in collaboration with Absolut Vodka. A true robot love story. Premieres at the Sundance film festival. Go and see that one.
Our Norwegian friend Dolle Jolle mailed us this week that he has to play Melkweg tonight with his friend and other Oslowegian nu-cosmic-disco hero Todd Terje with their Shari Vari concept . We are going for sure. Want to come along?
Why do I find this extremely funny? I don’t know, but I laughed my ass off, really. It’s probably a very serious piece by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, but somehow this strongly reminds me of this.
A terrible interviewer asks Ian Brown stupid questions about martial arts and other irrelevant stuff. Brown gets annoyed and ends the interview with a great line in pure Madchester slang: “Do you want knocking out from here or shall I come over there?”
Brilliant, but damn, look at that face. Boose and dope made him look 30 years older I guess.
Above the winners of The Favourite Website Awards 2009. Click on the top image to experience the Apollo 11 mission and the other one to create your on videoclip. Both really great I think.
Quite a long but very swinging version of Happy House by The Juan MacLean to help you get going for your night out tonight. Mind the happy (house) people at 3:00 minutes. Made me smile.
Btw. The Drummer, Jerry Fuchs, who also played for LCD soundsystem, Moby, MSTRKRFT, sadly passed away last year by falling into an elevator shaft. RIP.
Wow, this must have taken ages to finish. Great concept though by Maarten Baas, Hollands biggest design talent. Als world known for his burnt furniture.
I’m not going to lie about this one. When I read a title like this I get butterflies in my stomach, because a) I love the Golden Ratio or the Devine proportion (I even have a tattoo of it on my arm), and b) I’m actually a huge nerd.
“Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), in cooperation with colleagues from Oxford and Bristol Universities, as well as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, have for the first time observed a nanoscale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. They have measured the signatures of a symmetry showing the same attributes as the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.”
So, Phi is not only in our visual world (in all flora and fauna, music, art, architecture, stockmarkets, you name it), but also in the smallest invisible nano quantum world. So ‘a God’ definately left a fingerprint in everything he ‘created’.
You are the centre of the celebration of the year… You shine like there was no tomorrow… You even get to guard the presents… And then? All of a sudden, its over… You can go… Away, you tree! With your nasty loose needles…
Haha, I never felt emotions for anything from the flora kingdom, but looking at those pictures make mee feel a little bit more like they do. See more of the sad trees here.

This dude, selling Windows 1.0, is Steve Ballmer, CEO of one of the mightiest companies in the world. My friend and colleague Wout/Wowt/Wolzibolt is on his way, as I type this, to New Orleans to attend this huge anualy convention organised by Microsoft. The fun thing is that he is chosen out of the 10.000 attendees to join a table conversation with the above chap and 18 others, about the future of Microsoft on the internet. I sincerely hope that my friend remains himself and tells ol’ Steve here how Microsoft should work.
For the dutch readers, please visit my company’s blog and read the full version of this incredible story and the updates of Wouts visit to New Orleans.
Some time ago the whole A.K. team was in Iceland for some days to visit some friends in Reykjavik. We had some time to travel inland a bit and we could stay a night in our friends’ summerhouse not far from Hekla, Icelands’ biggest and still active vulcano. Offcourse we also saw Geysir and the immensly powerful Gulfoss and lots of other beautiful places. But the thing that struck us most were the views from the coastlines as you can see in the pretty picture above, taken by mrs. Kobayashi. It made us realise how far away and isolated Icelanders must feel from the rest of the world. It gave us both the shivers and an uttermost relaxed feeling at the same time. We’re still not sure which one had the overhand for us but according to researcher Jon Carlin from The Observer, Icelanders must be the happiest people living on this here planet, all 313.000 of them. Read his explanation right here.
