Didn’t we all just want one? Now it looks like the time is finally here that these Back to the Future hoverboards are reality, because young French artist Nils Guadagnin made one with magnets and a laser to keep the balance. Neat!

Go and check out this nifty free augmented reality app called Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus and Warp.
Really worth while checking! Couldn’t stop playing myself.
(Thanks Joon!)

Found this great rare clip featuring DJ Jazzy Jay and Africa Bambaata who explain the basics of scratching.
Funny thing: I found out that Grandwizzard Theodore, the man who invented scratching, listened to one of my podcatsts this week. Those little things make my day, uhh month. No, they make my year.

One of the greater British design studios, DixonBaxi, is coming with a retrospective, hopefully this year. These are some drafts for the design of the book.

I bought 2 posters for my poster collection this weekend in Stockholm. The first is an image of Cornelis Vreeswijk, a fantastic dutch singer turned Swedish (Listen to Veronica in Dutch or Veronica in Swedish). Vreeswijk is as popular to the Swedes as Sven Kramer is to the Dutch. And since I’m married to a Svensk tjej and Sweden is my second home country after Holland, I feel we have at least some things in common!
The other one I bought at Moderna Museet. It’s an affiche for a Warhol exhibition there long time ago, saying: “I never read, I just look at pictures”. Which definately puts a smile on the face of an ADD‘er like me.


Made by Bjørn Jørund Blikstad, obviously Scandinavian.

Check out this blog called Stereofound created by fellow Tilburgian LouLou: “A collection of ‘non-music’ and ‘oddities’ on vinyl, found at thrift stores and flea markets. Think of stereo-test records, jingles, sound effects, instructions, spoken word, language courses and, well, basically everything recorded out of the ordinary.”
A book with photos by Gavin and Neville Watson of the early days of acid house in London an Manchester where the subculture found its origin:
“Raving 89 takes you through a year of suburban raves, with 200 fantastic images collected together as if a single dramatic night grimy warehouses, phones the size of bricks, smiles, hugs, lasers and dungarees, lives changed, faces lost in music, casualties, friends and general mayhem; with rogues and wronguns lurking in the corners, and more than a few crimes against fashion.”
Order it here.
