Hi, so I got a job at Subbacultcha! a few weeks ago and now I'm going to obnoxiously brag and plug their brand new shiny blog that I'm doing for them because they are cool and I am excited about this. Fuck yeah!

I'd never ridden a bike in the snow until today. To be quite frank, I don't like snow, but today reminded me of the biggest, bestest snow day of all time in London last year.

Sanne Sannes, Dutch photographer, took brilliantly intimate photos, died at the age of thirty.
He only worked with a hand-held camera and existing light, hence the extremely cool effects. His stuff was recently in FOAM.

1. Presenting the uni-moustache, made out of a quality nylon stocking!
2. I will not post phone photos, but I/we saw three excellent gigs this past weekend - Little Women (obnoxious, scary, cool skronk jazz band), Thomas Truax (ace DIY instruments) and The Moi Non Plus (biggest surprise of the evening - excellent, excellent.) Have a listen, do your research.

Constant Dullaart - YouTube as a subject sculpture (2009)
Does this remind you of anything?
Excellent exhibition, Versions, in the Instituut voor Nederlands Mediakunst in Amsterdam. It is brimming with good, cool, subversive net art. This is a phone video of Dullaart's interactive sculpture. It does not do it justice, sorry, please consider it as an incentive to go and see it for yourselves/read about him.

1. Aa
2. Wavves
3. Male Bonding
Phone photos, Ekko, Utrecht, 29.11.09
Aa were fucking cool, Male Bonding were good, as always, Wavves seemed bored (no pun intended).
P.S. Utrecht is way nice, if you ever go, make sure you go to Broodje Plof for patat, eat a fresh stroopwafel by Hoog Catharijn, and play Connect Four in Coffee Company.

1. T-Rex in Amsterdam
2. Time travel in Euston Station
3. Connie Converse - How Sad, How Lovely (2009) (Ok, Connie Converse has been the Coolest Person Ever in my books for three weeks now. A singer-songwriter from the 1950s, she packed up her shit in 1974 and disappeared forever (FOREVER). Her music was dug up earlier this year and let me tell you, it is ace beyond ace.)
4. Also, if you ever need a haircut and are in Amsterdam, go to Mogeen. I know they pay them to be nice, but if the hair stylists offer you a bazillion types of tea, apples, sweets, biscuits, video projections and will give you a free trim a month later, they might also be genuinely nice.

1. Loves of a Blonde/Lásky jedné plavovlásky - Miloš Forman (1965) (Yeah, this is way cool.)
2. The Witches of Eastwick - George Miller (1987) (Ridiculously ridiculous, the fashion is the shit.)

1. Brion Gysin - No Poets (1962)
2. The permutated poems set the words spinning off on their own; echoing out as the words of a potent phrase are permutated into an expanding ripple of meanings which they did not seem to be capable of when they were struck and then stuck into that phrase.
Brion Gysin - Cut-ups Self-explained (1973)

1. Cool holiday snapshot I found in a junk shop in Camden last autumn.
Clothes are cool, yeah? Here are three recent cool/good clothes-related things:
2. Kloos Vintage - this weekend in Westerpark in Amsterdam.
3. Pracownia Żelazko - Warsaw-based new, cool online vintage shop opening this weekend.
4. Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops - Sign the petition because this is actually important.
5. Vintage Delirium di Franco Jacassi, Via Sacchi 3, Milan - Hidden away in an old Italian apartment building, ring at the gate to get in. I went here last weekend while in Italy. Their extensive, beautiful collection of vintage items left me dumbfounded. Prices are very steep, but I sincerely recommend it for purely aesthetic reasons.
