Qu’est-ce que c’est

Fresh work by Harland Miller, from White Cube’s new drawing show. The line is, of course, from Talking Heads – Miller’s name for the piece?

Repetition is not! I say not!! To be repeated.

Burning

The new Mogwai concert film is upon us! On Tuesday Burning is being screened (virtually) through a handful of chosen websites including my friend’s site Bradley’s Almanac. After the film Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite and the film’s director Vincent Moon will take part in a Q&A (virtually) which you can also take part in via the ‘Nac.

Sunday styles

So much goddamn style I can’t handle it. The chap on the left has a natty shirt & jacket, and notice the fellow in the back, third from left, rockin’ belt+suspenders (with no belt loops! gun holster?).  Via Shorpy

Bag It Up – Part 2

I meant to post this a few days ago, after Katie sent it to z04 and me: This handsome bag is called Shib and is made from the cotton sacks used to filter sake. No two are alike, with the sake filters each having developed a rich patina from being dyed with persimmon juice for decades. They’re finished with bridle leather and different linings.

From Hitomonokoto.

Bag It Up

There are apparently other sporting events on at the moment – who knew? Paul Smith did, actually – and just in time for the Tour de France he’s just come out with this bag featuring the Rapha Condor cycling team and the Paul Smith Mini riding along the Nottingham Embankment (and who can forget this Paul Smith shirt for Rapha?). Add to cart.

In related news: on July 1 the Rapha Cycle Club moves to NYC after a successful stint in London. More info here.

Never Let Me Go

The brilliant Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro has been adapted to film, with Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley in the leads. As there’s no release date yet for the movie you’ve got a bit of time to read the book, which you can get to just as soon as you’ve watched the trailer.

You Are My Joy

If you’ve paid any attention to the 2010 World Cup so far you’re sure to have heard complaints about Jabulani – Adidas’s official match ball. Innumerable players, especially keepers, have denounced it, ranging from Spain’s Iker Casillas calling it a “beachball” to USA’s Marcus Hahnemann branding it, rather less diplomatically, as “horseshit”.

As frustrating as Jabulani may be on the pitch, Abitare has proved that watching it come together is actually quite interesting: their June issue takes a look at the making of the ball including the video above. Check out the rest of their coverage here.

The Force Unleashed II

LucasArts has released the new trailer for The Force Unleashed II and, wow – Is this a hint of what we have to look forward to when the live-action Star Wars TV series happens? I hope so!
