The Man From UNKLE - Documentary

Love him or hate him, James Lavelle definitely played an influential part in bringing a huge chunk of underground

music/street culture into awareness. Through fashion, music and art he created a style and sub-culture of it's own,

which in some form still exists today, although it may have different players. His visionary skills not only brought an

eclectic mix together via music, but his approach of connecting a visual identity to it was forward thinking and had

been lacking in youth culture (to that degree) for sometime!

Looking forward to catching this documentary, when it comes out? It's been in pre-production for ages.

It will probably only have 2 cinema showings, in London and Tokyo. The DVD release will be 200 quid and limited

to 10 copies worldwide. Are people still into that strategy ;-)

MINDFLEX - Think It, Move It, Believe It

Although this looks a bit hit or miss, I do believe there is more scope in this technology / idea. Also by using these

methods of concentration, over time it should have vast results on how products are made and how we interact with

them. This is another example of sci-fi creating shifts in technology, human behaviour and our everyday world around

us. Over greater time this may also lead to a evolutionary shift in how our mind and brain powers work, hopefully...

if you believe ;-)

Kaws talks about his i-D issue + some background stuff! The way he has turned

himself from street artist to one man brand is quality! But he should take it easy

hanging out with all those hip hop stars, remember what happened to Nigo ;-)
