Paul Rand retrospective by Jeremy Cox.

With thanks to Swiss Miss

I’ve lost track of weekends since I’ve got here. Mainly as they’ve all been lovely.

Anyway, this weekend, I got to see The Whitest Boy Alive at the Tape Club and it really was rather amazing, then a few drinks in the very nice Amano. Great.

Thank you for organising tickets!

Kati watched this in East Berlin. Brilliant… and it makes me sleepy…

Knack. Knack.

Indulge your inner rain man (or plainly obvious outer in my case). Go look.

I can’t help finding our flying companions in Berlin a little easier to deal with than London’s… then i guess a cute little spuggy (or sparrow to non-geordie speakers) is always going to be easier to deal with than a gnarled, one legged pigeon rat.

Anyway, I digress, I almost feel like buying one of these to create a des res for the little suckers.

Thanks again (and again) to Superpunch

Thanks to Superpunch (again… and again…)

I keep seeing too many nice things here… These tables are just gorgeous… then I guess, having my own home comes first… *sigh*

New Nara book…

Thanks to Curated Mag

I was in Fred Perry today (as you do in Berlin, head straight for the quintessential english store) and the very nice chap in there noticed my brixton cycles t-shirt.

He then proceeded to tell me the Berlin rozzers are clamping down hard on fixed gear bikes (didn’t have the heart to tell him i’m riding a disk brake bruiser and not a pretty track bike). Anyway, it seems the police are stopping any fixed riders and confiscating bikes with only one brake. Rather harsh methinks…

His suggestion, ride fast or get a lawyer.

Anyway, this rather lovely illustration from Shaun Malinowski seemed appropriate.

I loved parappa when it came out, so fresh… and the 2D thing looked amazing…

I think I love it more, mainly due to the fact it still looks amazing and ‘fresh’.

Thanks to Kathy Kavan at Another Design Blog for posting tons of cool stuff.
