Sexy Men Of Synths!


I just found this blog all about sexy synth men and I almost fell off my herman miller aeron half way through. What an honour! Heres a selection in black and white:

Keep Kalm


Have you ever missed an art preview and then wished you had made the effort to mingle with all those trendy arty people drinking free beer and talking really loudly and not looking at any of the paintings because of all the other trendy people in the way or even worse missed the whole show even though it was on for months, because you're just so busy and you had never actually heard of that artist but then it turns out their work is really cool when you read about them in vice magazine 3 years later? Well here is the solution if you live in New York. Mr Kalm should franchise this idea out to other cities, I love watching these!



James is a working artist himself and has an amazing knowledge of modern art and a great eye for detail. Of the 500+ exhibitions he has covered most are walk around tours, which is like being there in person, but occasionally he interviews the artist directly

Shock Omission


Actually one of the few omissions from the previous post video was this excellent synth theme for the 1980 modern art series The Shock of the New. The music was made by Paddy Kingsland at the Radiophonic Workshop. Being at a loss due to flu I just watched all 8 episodes back to back

Trunk Again


I've had a shocker of a cold for the past 3 days - which means watching a ton of stuff on TV and youtube. And I ran across this little beauty - Johnny Trunk's selection of BBC title sequences, from the 1950s to the 1980s. There are some really beautiful and clever things in here, most of which I had never seen before

70s World


Everything up on the moor looks like something from a 1970s Roger Dean painting, like the one below from one of those Yes albums I just bought



For example, here is a picture of Biba I just took:

Shapes In Hackney


Wrangler gig coming up...

The Break


Heres a bit of video I shot up on The Break, the hill behind my house. The music is from my last album, Loop Series One, made entirely on the Buchla 100

Heres Nat modelling the new Wrangler green screen T-Shirt, available soon from the Memetune store...

Porcelain Porsche


And another find - porcelain porsche bookends:

Yes


The good thing about buying a new house is that you have to buy loads of new stuff to put in it. So I'm spending a lot of time at car boot sales. I was very pleased with this hoard of Yes albums

Face Book


Speaking of Record Store Day, our good friend Natalie (Lone Taxidermist) has been busy with the oil paint again. Check out the whole collection here

Release The Spark


Hey don't forget our debut album is out on Monday. Some people have already got their copies because we had some available on Record Store Day - but there are still a few vinyl copies left - NOT FOR LONG I SHOULDN"T WONDER!

Art Rangler


Moved


The reason I have been a bit quiet round here lately is I moved house. And county. And Everything (except the studio)


I found this sketch amongst the original plans and drawings for the house which were left here by the previous owner. Its from 1960
