Let’s keep the scratchin’ going to the early morn. Yeahhhh, boooooy.
Made using an old, retired Fischer turntable and a rockin’ Doobie Brothers vinyl album, the Turntable Clock WAS available on Etsy, but has since sold out. I’m guessing there was only one available in the first place, but who knows, more might pop up if you’re lucky,
The creation of bento is just as much an art as creating a painting or a piece of jewelry. So integrating the art of bento box creation and jewelry shouldn’t be that tough, but yet, no one had done it, until now.
This awesome Bento Jewelry by Carolyn Tille features realistic pieces of sushi and other related Bento foods, integrated into the jewelry creation. If jewelry was edible, this would be on the top of my om nom list. More after the jump-stick.
There have been countless methods of recycling your old, abandoned, bong water-stained vinyl, but none that have integrated the actual casing and cover art as well. If you have such epic records as Led Zeppelin’s IV, there is no reason NOT to show them off some how.
BUGHOUSE designed this unique record table, which would fit spectacularly into your den of devil worship. It’s much more thoughtful than simply throwing them in the trash bin, surely.
The Sony Walkman turns 30 today. Christ, the thing has got half a decade on me.
When I received my first Walkman as a gift, it was accompanied by Green Day’s Insomniac album. You can bet your ass that thing heard its fair share of Ace of Base and Aqua by the time it had run its course.
I remember my first Walkman like it was 12 years ago. Wait…
They say you always remember your first. Do you?
Update: And just for shits and giggles, if you haven’t seen this article yet, see what a young teen from the iPod generation makes of the Walkman. (Thanks for the suggestion Captain Moof)
One of the first action figures I built myself was none other than Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series. It took a lot of work, paint and spare parts but it came out alright in the end. But it doesn’t matter. Collectable Kid puts me to shame with this recreation of Little Mac from Punch Out!. To top it off, it’s based on the newer Wii version of the game as opposed to the 1980’s classic.
If you want to see more creations, their available on CK’s MySpace page. Why a guy this creative is using MySpace is beyond me but hey, to each his own.
Hendrix and Morrison are long gone in body, but their souls live on through their music, eternally playing through radios and iPods across the planet. Not to mention cassettes. There are still plenty of people who rely on the dead technology of cassette tapes to jam out to their old favorites. But listening to music is only a fraction of what can be done with these ancient musical artifacts.
If you have enough time on your hands and enough patience to win a staring contest versus a dead man then cassette art is a clever way at resurrecting the classic musicians of yore, as seen through the Ghost in the Machine project by Flickr user iri5. This awesome Flickr’er took the time to recreate Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison using nothing but ripped-out tape from inside of a cassette. The Hendrix piece is decidedly more awesome in our opinion, but really, come on, it’s Jimi! Plus it doesn’t hurt that Hendrix’s nappy hair was more fitting for such a project. Check out Morrison after that jump. (more…)
If you’ve been looking for that perfect gadget to give your little bratty 12-year-old daughter who just happens to find My Chemical Romance “mucho suave,” as the kids say these days, the bulletproof heart, designed by Jörg Höltje, might be just the ticket to insure she is the coolest little hipster bitch in her middle school. Strategically designed to ward off bullets to her most sensitive organ, even the slightest squinty-eyed look from one of the Jonas Brothers should be properly shielded.
Now, as from protecting anyone from actual bullets? That’s a little trickier to explain. See, if they just happen to get shot anywhere but the heart, they’re pretty much screwed. But you could make the argument that the only thing worth living for is your heart anyway, or something like that? Whatever dude. Where’s my Taking Back Sunday album? Bonus: Would look great with the sissy Urban Security Suit.
Talk about original! The guys at Format Magazine recreated a bunch of famous rap and hip hop album covers with LEGOs. You’ll find Run DMC and De La Soul classics to newer artists like The Game and Common. My personal favorite is the Gang Starr “No More Mr. Nice Guy” album cover. It’s so…1991.
Hit the link below for the full collection of covers.
Straight out of the cover of a Judas Priest album, this “thing” looks to be a steampunk steed from Hell. Dubbed “Lrry,” it’s a rideable motorcycle/robo-horse constructed by the Mutoid Waste Company in London. The best part about it is it’s 100% recycled. Biker gangs will be running for the hills.
It’s Friday and you know what that means: Ryan is menstruating again.
We’re currently locked in a heated battle over IM on who reigns supreme in the world of music: Metallica or Judas Priest. It all started when I told Ryan that anything Metallica did in the 1980s was harder than Judas Priest or any other band, including but not limited to, Iron Maiden. I’m talking about some heavy shit here. We’re talking albums like Master of Puppets, …and Justice for All and Ride The Lightning. Chugging guitars, pounding drums and James Hetfield belting out rough vocals at metal fans across the globe. Their fucking name is Metallica, for crying out loud!
Now Ryan’s argument. He says: “While Metallica’s band members were still feuding over who would play bass in their high school battle of the bands, Judas Priest had already begun touring across England in the early ’70s. Vince seems to think that due to Rob Halford’s sexual orientation, Judas Priest is incapable of rocking hard (Not true!) Clearly he’s missed out on such songs as Blood Red Skies and Beyond The Realms of Death. It was the ’80s which brought Judas into the mainstream, but the late ’70s is when they truly shined. Metallica’s Lars was busy crying about Napster and the music industry while Judas was winning a lawsuit over a fan who thought that Judas’ metal was so rockin‘ that the music was asking him to literally go ‘Beyond The Realms Of Death’.”
Whatever. Our points have been made. After the jump, a music video for Metallica’s “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and a video for Judas Priest’s “So and So.” Watch them both and then leave us a comment, letting us know who’s better. This one is your call.
