Geek Badge

This one has been doing the rounds, and fits in quite nicely considering the amount of layout work I have been doing recently! Geeks will definitely be telling you something good if you receive one of these amazing badges - so be nice to them! Available to buy from the super ace Pop + Shorty web store.

Dead Good Chairs

Check out the heart shaped buttons on this stylish chair by Ziglam and Brook. I saw this only the other day at 100% Design as part of the London Design Festival, and it is every bit as beautiful in the flesh! The chair is fully upholstered (in a grey wool in the image here) with solid oak legs and I would like one... The chair is available to buy from the design epicentre that is deadgood.

The Drums!

Another musical obsession? Me? This is a Brooklyn band called The Drums, and I think they are ace. I just discovered them via Vimeo after watching their super cool video for Let's Go Surfing. You know I never leave you hanging - if you like them you can download the single for free from rcrdlbl. Wow! Pop it on your ipod, and run along a deserted beach in the dark! Actually, that doesn't sound too safe. Oh yeah - almost forgot - you can go watch them doing their thing live on stage in various UK cities (mainly London). Check out the band's myspace for dates - and while you are there, have a listen to Submarine (which is also super dance along fun). Video follows for fun...
