Gue tapi nggak ngerti kenapa Radiohead poster-nya sold out in seconds?? padahal kurang bagus.

Poster2 ini sebetulnya sudah beredar dari April, cuman baru gue post aja di blog ini.
Akhir2 ini, kualitas poster2 hasil Brad Klausen lebih baik dari Ames, see it for yourself.

Kenyon Hall show poster (yup..that’s an Obama pin on Eddie’ jacket)

The West Palm Beach (gambar buaya) poster cukup jelek…like a 5 year old kid drawing..sorry Ames Bros

Yg Tampa cukup bagus, clearly influenced by Led Zep “Presence” + Pink Floyd “Dark Side”…with the PJ avocado touch..good one.

The Cans Festival is the biggest stencil graffiti art show,so far, held in the UK. Banksy,Faile,Eine, Pure Evil, and some other well-known artists participated in this festival. Some said that this event is actually organized by Banksy.

One of the coolest posters in 2008, a Wu-Tang Clan done by Todd Slater, capturing the infamous NBA fight between Dr J & Larry J

the infamous shot was previously used for a video game “NBA Bitchslap” (most likely for Atari console) , pretty cool huh?

a low-grade video game screenshot of that fight, hilarious…:

here’s the fight clip:
An article reliving that night:
It was a Friday night. November 9, 1984. Not that this day goes down in American history as significant or as meaningful as the day Pearl Harbor was bombed or D-Day or 9-11, but when the Boston Celtics met their arch-rivals the Philadelphia 76ers at the Boston Garden that evening, no one knew what impact this game would have. The 76ers were the NBA World Champions in 1983. The Boston Celtics captured the NBA World Championship title in 1984. Do you see where this is leading? Both teams came into this particular game undefeated, Philadelphia at 5-0 and Boston 4-0. One team would walk away with an unblemished mark; the other team would have a mark in the right-hand loss column. Each team boasted a ‘who’s-who’ roster. The Celtics with: Cedric Maxwell, Larry Bird and Robert Parish up front and Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge in the backcourt and off Head Coach K. C. Jones’ bench were: Kevin McHale, Quinn Buckner, Scott Wedman, M.L. Carr, Rick Carlisle, Greg Kite and Carlos Clark. The Sixers started: Julius Erving, Marc Iavaroni, Moses Malone, Clint Richardson and Maurice Cheeks, with Charles Barkley, Bobby Jones, Sedale Threatt, Leon Wood, Andrew Toney (injured this game and not with the team), Clemon Johnson and Sam Williams coming off Coach Billy Cunningham’s pine. The Boston Garden was, needless to say, packed and primed full with 14,890+ raucous fans - the 176th consecutive sellout. Just as Julius Erving had done the in the 1970’s, being the dominant and most colorful player in the league, Larry Bird was gaining the same recognition and status in the 1980’s. Yes, it was a game, an intense regular season tilt, but it was also a clash of two great teams and franchises… a war, as the late Johnny Most would say. The game had turned into a personal showcase for Bird. The “performance,” given the opponent, the standings and the atmosphere, could have been his best ever. But it was cut short. Bird came out white-hot and torched Erving and the Sixers for nine points in the first 5:34. However, at the end of the first quarter, the Sixers held a slim 32-30 advantage. Two quarters and many unbelievable baskets later, Bird and the Celtics led by 21 points, 98-79, and went on to a 130-119 victory. Along the way, ‘Friday night at the fights’ erupted. Bird had posted 42 points (on 17-of-23 shots from the floor) and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes. He and the Doctor would miss the final 13:38. Keen Celtics fans probably forgot the final score or that the Green and White led by 21 or that Ainge would hand-out 12 assists or DJ would magically come up with 5 steals in the victory. They just remember that two superstars, Bird v. Erving, threw punches at each other, were ejected (at the 1:38 mark of the third quarter) and the end of a classic all-around game by #33. (Erving finished with 6 points (on 3-of-13 shots from the field) in 23 minutes). The phrase, “I went to a basketball game and a hockey game broke out,” was heard for weeks and months after that wild evening. In the aftermath, the NBA Office handed out a grand total of $30,500 worth of fines. The two prime combatants, Bird and Erving were each assessed a pink slip of $7,500 each. M. L. Carr and Moses Malone each drew a $3,000 fine, Charles Barkley $1,000 for fighting and Bill Cunningham a $2,500 setback for post game comments. 12 other players (six from each team) each drew a fine of $500 for leaving their respective bench during the melee. What else is ironic to this game was the fact that both Bird and Erving wore, advertised and endorsed Converse basketball shoes at the time; both players went on to be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial basketball Hall of Fame and that one of the NBA referees in that game, veteran Jack Madden, suffered a fractured bone above his knee early in the third quarter and was forced to miss the rest of the contest (including the fight). Veteran NBA referee Dick Bavetta, all 5-11 and 155 pounds soaking wet, had to pull double-duty and officiate the game solo. He calmly held his own in separating men a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier than himself over the course of the “performance”.

Couldn’t wait for this one to be released, probably end of May???? check it out when it’s released di Jay Ryan’ website.

some birdie said that this poster akan available right after Modest Mouse‘ Sasquatch Festival’gig

Baru tahu soal band ini, Dianogah, ngeliat beberapa song clip Dianogah di YouTube
Cool sounding band, w/ some lo-fi,but laid-back, old-school punk/hardcore sound.
banyak lagu2 mereka pake bassline mereka ngingetin gue lagunya Fugazi “Long Division” dari album Steady Diet of Nothing.

2 albums yg gue denger beberapa lagu consistenly good:
1. Battle Champions (produced by Steve Albini, who produced some of my favorite albums Pixies “Surfer Rosa” gigantic…gigantic…gigantic…, Breeders’Pod” , Helmet “Meantime” some songs only apparently)

2. As Seen from above

lagi nabung dulu buat beli CD2 Dianogah.

anyway, check them out..

a review of Dianogah’ As Seen from above album in “Top 11 Rock Albums of the ’90s You Probably Never Heard”
At an utter loss once for the words to describe this magnificent trio, I blurted out to a friend, ìImagine Television if Lloyd and Verlaine played bass instead of guitar.î Lyrical, fluid, intricate-but-not-showy, this almost entirely instrumental band quite simply does everything right. The dialogue between the higher parts that Jay Ryan coaxes from his Rickenbacker and the more traditional low-end counterpoint that Jason Harvey holds down on his Fender is just stunning — there is a playful complexity here that is rarely heard in rock music. Add to this Kip McCabeís skilled, syncopated accompaniment on the drums and the interplay of these three at times approaches the level of sophistication of jazz. Dianogah make some of the most inspiring, fun music I have heard in a very long time, and this is accomplished without electronic effects or any sort of schtick or bombast — a tribute to the virtues of pure musicality and resourcefulness within fairly narrow formal parameters. If all of this sounds daunting — the kind of stuff only sophisto music professors might enjoy — allow me to assure you that it is not. There is an energy and a swing to this music that makes it a pure joy to listen to — if it is cerebral as well, it is in a way that keeps the proceedings fresh and only adds to the pleasure. Possibly my favorite band of recent years.

did I mention that Jay Ryan plays bass dan juga vocalist di Dianogah? Yes, that Jay Ryan, screen print & poster genius…

Check it out, an article by Eine as published on Swindle #16, GRAB A COPY, SWINDLE RULZ….

Eine by Eine.

Everything you hear about the English is true. The teeth are getting better because we have been growing a culture of celebrity nobodies for the last decade. If you ask a class of 10-year-old school kids what they want to do when they grow up, none of them want to be train drivers or astronauts—they want to be famous. But you c an’t be famous if you’re a fat ugly spod with bad teeth, so across the country teeth are get ting better in the va in hope that gleaming white teeth will help their quest for fame. Something else we are quite well known for is our binge drinking. I am not sure how tr ue this is, but our newspapers would have us believe that we have a teenage army of alcoholics in every town or city, all drunk out of their tiny minds, beating 10 tons of shit out of each other—but at least they have good teeth.

We are really lucky in England. We have a culture that loves the maverick. We all have a mad side to us; we love the weirdo/hero. On top of that, we support our artists, and treat them almost li ke celebrities. S ome of our artists are household names, and because of this we have a wider understanding of art. (read more)
