“oh look, snow white brought her own apple today”
– ever got a better compliment when you entered the room with a red apple in your hand? i doubt it.
using literature
so you see no sense in wasting your time on books written by people who didn’t even know telephones (from the greek: τῆλε, tēle, ‘far’ and φωνή, phōnē, ‘voice’, FYI)? then first of all let me tell you the boys i’m talking about barely missed the invention of television (oscar wild: less than 30 years, marcel proust: around 2 years) and — to get to the...
Watchi’m only going to marry a man who can either dance like mr. bojangles or says things like ‘girl, i can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try’.
daniel novakovic: anyone else isn't you →
take a look at this cutest of all comics — doesn’t it feel like looking at the essence of your inner smiths fan? a tip: blow the dust off your record player, i guarantee you’ll feel the urge to use it soon.

youth saviors
rediscovering my love for those leather and shades wearing heroes called the jesus and mary chain i have an advice to give: do yourself a favor and don’t get lost in glossy ralph lauren hell. do your best to stay the wild child who broke into houses and lay down on the bedroom floor playing air guitar to ‘april skies’!

1/2 wild 1/2 child
let’s just bring it down to this: whenever i feel like adulthood doesn’t suit me very well and jarvis cocker’s “big julie” makes me nod my head vehemently i run into my astra utopia’s arms — and they always hug me carefully, for they know flowers can easily be damaged.

death by popcorn
do you know those crucial scenes in movies when you stop liking them and start love-love-loving them? like when alex takes his droogs to the korova milk bar or edward norton shows up at work with a black eye for the first time? or maybe just think of the beginning monologue from trainspotting. it can be a smile under tears or the way someone flicks the ash off his cigarette (and i’m thinking of...

i can't wait for saturday to begin
i love disco classic with a message that gives you goose bumps each time you hear it. still easily spinning you around the room is oliver cheatham’s “get down saturday night”: a song with lyrics so good you don’t know which part to quote, so put on your acoustic roller skates for six minutes in dance floor heaven and make love until the morning comes in new york, in detroit...
the future

i discovered him by accident and was immediately...
a little soul -- 11th hour interview with fabrice...
11th-hour When and why did you first begin mixing and producing? Fabrice At the age of 12-14, I liked to buy some records, LPs at the beginning but after that I turned more to 12”, the best format for dance or club music. I think I started to buy House/techno 12”s at the same time as R&S records was born. After one or two years I had so many records I wanted to play for my friends. Some...
