I’ve dug up some new, cheap, pleasantly surprising, LP’s lately (you out there who know me are well acquainted with my biggest vice). One of the more charming (and a bit trifle) finds I found today, in a crate, for only 15 kr. Dig that cover! It’s The B-52's singer Fred Schneider's solo project The Shake Society from 1984. It sounds, yes you guessed it, just like The B-52's. But with a even more weird disco & bubblegum-new wave sound (if you can even imagine that?). I also found the Absolute Power LP by the 80's thrash metal band Powermad (of David Lynch fame. I take it you’ve seen Wild at Heart?). A crazy and powerful (pun intended) wail-thrash record, jam packed with memorable riffs & double bass frenzy, that grows on me every time I play it.
I got this poster assignment from a Hairdresser School in Piteå. It’s for their hair-show "People Are Strange - Nudas Veritas" and my friend Ia is in it (as a hairdresser /hair designer). It was a real blast making a bit more of a complex poster this time around. So I made a Art Nouveau pastiche with slightly militaristic undertones. At first I thought about whether I should depict the two ladies topless or not. Because of the whole "Nudas Veritas” deal. But I chickened out because the show is after all kind of a family event + that the sponsors probably would have pissed themselves in sort of a instant moral panic. Very nice assignment indeed. Gimmie more please! (Translation: Give me more assignments with full creative control for inspiring events and clients pretty please.)
Me (Do The Math) & my partner in crime, Dj Kinski (Erik) will be playing some records, under the moniker Who Put the BOMP?, on Thursday @ Retaurang Retro. It’s in Möllan, in Malmö, Sweden. On January the 29th, it’s finally time for the season premiere. Two of your favourite weirdos play old-timey happy-go-lucky music for you, your father and your grandmother. Heavy duty surf guitars, nerdy Moog-synths, primitive drums, snivelling teenagers, forgotten soundtracks, rickety beats, sounds from outer space & 78-rpm punk etc. Music you didn’t know that you loved.
At 22:00 - 01:00.
Free of charge.
I threw together a new poster for the premiere. A WPtB? cerial box inspired by american packaging design from the 50's.
If you, just like me, appreciate the cartoon-inspired, colourful, experiment packed & uninhibited aesthetics of that time, I can totally recommend the Taschen book Krazy Kids' Food. It’s from their ICONS series.
