Lately I've been thinking a lot about Japanese psych-rock goddesses Angel'in Heavy Syrup. I first crossed paths with them nearly 20 years ago, back in Honolulu, Hawaii. Shit. It seems like just yesterday but, 20 years is nearly a lifetime...and that's twice as old as Justin Beiber.
My friends Guy (Funk Pistol) and Stacey (Fine) brought them to Honolulu to play some shows at their very 'underground' and very 'after hours' nightclub 'My Favorite Eggplant'. The ladies spoke little-to-no English and my Japanese is juvenile, at best. That didn't stop us from having way too much fun.

R.I.P. Kodachrome
Thursday marked the end of an era, as the very last lab to develop your Kodachrome film shut it all down, selling the last of their processing machines for scrap metal.

Vampyros Lesbos
Jesus Franco's Vampyros Lesbos is the purest example of the 70's B-Movie/ Horror genre. The jazzy-psychedelic soundtrack is the cherry on this lesbian-camp, cult classic. Tune in, turn on, drop out. Watch the flick. Listen to the soundtrack.

Chris Silas Neal
Chris Silas Neal's work is a nice little retreat from the overworked and super polished digital world. He's a Brooklyn based artist & instructor at the Pratt Institute, whose illustrations and hand-drawn type are reminiscent of styles and aesthetics of early last century. It is seriously refreshing to see that there are still artists who take the time to lay it out by hand, who don't settle on programs & nanobots to write their art for them...'cause brother, this fella likes it old school!

Currently living and working in St Louis, Missouri, Sarah Frost has taken keys from discarded computer keyboards, turning them into something far grander than they could have ever imagined they'd ever be in their lifetime.
