Banksy VS King Robbo
…and so the battle continues between Banksy and King Robbo.
I first found out about Banksy when his work was used for the cover of Adbusters, which I stopped buying years ago when the irony of buying an anti-consumer magazine finally got under my skin, but I’ve been a fan of his since. Really I know nothing about street art, but I enjoy the style.
I’m finding this rather fascinating.
Shy? Cynical?
If you’re shy and cynical, or perhaps one or the other, or if you just like good, strange fiction, pick up Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical by our good friend Rob Shearman. It’s a treasure trove of horror and sentiment, joy and bitterness.
George Clooney’s Mustache alternately made me shudder and smirk with cruel delight, The Hidden Story had me weeping in the middle of a crowded airport, Crumble made my heart ache deep into the night, and Sweet Nothings had me laughing for days.
It’s a book I recommend unreservedly to all my lovely Valentines!
(That means you.) <3
Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical is available from Big Finish.
Banksy VS King Robbo
Banksy has filmed “the world’s first street art disaster movie” which will be debuting at this year’s Sundance. I’m rather excited to see it, actually. He’s a bit of a nut, but nonetheless I’m quite fond of Banksy. King Robbo, on the other hand, isn’t, and has defaced one of Banksy’s works, essentially declaring war. Wonder how that will play out…
If I ever get married again…
Just shoot me in the head if I suggest I get this cake, alright?
It is kinda fabulous, though, isn’t it? Mmm, tasty.
WuTang VS The Beatles
Here’s an awesome free download of a remix album of WuTang Clan and The Beatles. I really love remix albums, and even though it’s perhaps not the best remix album I’ve ever heard, Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers has a lot of contemporary news and interview clips mixed in, and makes for interesting listening. Check it out!
Publicity stunt? Probably. Hilarious? Definitely!!
So, CoCo’s up to some wacky hijinks this week… It’s probably a stunt, but hey, I approve of the ’stick it to the man’ attitude nonetheless!
Gawker’s got all the video clips you could want…
