Most of you will look upon Iggy pop as an old rocker who never wore a shirt and looked like he fell asleep in front of the fire and melted. Iggy though was a true believer in Punk Rock, and although he was certainly pretty jacked up on all sorts of tricks at the time, he did stick up for the millions of kids whose fathers and mothers tormented them for listening to the likes of the Sex Pistols and having a crush on David Bowie.

Dear Shut,
If my six year old daughter performs a dance which incorporates the actions of sexual intercourse, with a particular amount of attention and focus on the position we know as 'doggy style', does this mean she's going to grow up to be a slag?
Yours Sincerely
Brad Parent

Vice have recently run an interview with Mary Ellen Mark who was one of the directors of 'Streetwise' A pretty direct look at young kids and life in Seattle in the 1980's. You can watch most of the parts on youtube, its well worth it.

In my old town there used to be this weird monk type guy, When I think back, I'm not entirely sure if he was religious or just straight up crackers. He loved to walk though, he constantly walked, day and night across town dressed like Fryer Tuck...And eventually he became an institution in our town.
This guy here however is becoming something of a celebrity in Manhattan, the 'Find He-Man' blog publishes it's readers' reports and daily sightings of a seriously muscular and consistently shirtless man, who bears a distinct resemblance to the comic book hero.

Yes! Looking for and/or at abysmally Bad record sleeves is one of my favourite pastimes.
I mean WOW the lack of insight is incredible... Not that I'm complaining, how could I? With gems like It's me, Mum! by Willy Whyton, or The aptly named Brailettes, a trio of blind female singers...
Roll out those ridiculous records I say! ROLL OUT!

LSD was synthesised in the late 1930's, which lead to a boat load of weird and wonderful "scientific" experiments throughout the 40's and 50's.
Using an 'Any Excuse For Drug Abuse' Ethos, government experiments ranged from feeding LSD to military soldiers on duty, alcoholics and even unsuspecting Elephants.
Here is a great example... This is a series of drawings, by an artist 'under the influence'. As the time passes you can see how the artists portrait sketches of the dude administering him acid injections, gradually warp into magnificence as he travels deeper and deeper into his trip.

We found this amazing photo of a dude on a BMX with what looked like a heavy PA system hooked up to the back, we laughed and nodded - it was a pretty cool set up. The we realised it was a photo from a documentary called 'Made In Queens'... Its something else.
Last summer in a rented garage on the outskirts of Queens, a group of imaginative tinkerers from Trinidad were working late into the nights creating something nobody had ever seen before.

Jamie Patton is a 23 year old artist from Leeds. He has recently started getting some of his work about and has just created a blog spot worthy enough to display his glorious varicoloured drawings. They are both trippy, creepy and marvellous... read on to see more!

Virgin call centres took it upon them selves to re brand their offices, they got help from a company named houshold design and let them pretty much get too it. The reason; because the average age of a call centre employee is 23 and what 23 year old is going to get a kick out working in a shabby shit office with one of those funny monkey posters on the wall or a talking fish clock...

Some bands gain ‘legendary’ status by writing anthems that can relate to an entire generation of people, who tour the arenas of the world year after year or just simply kill themselves. Others just kinda stumble unwittingly into it. Meet Harvey Milk. They’re the stumbling kind. But those in the know say ‘legendary’, albeit on a much smaller scale than usual.

It seems odd that bands like bear hands exist and still somehow belong in that 'unsigned' bracket within music. They recently agreed to do an interview with us for our next issue which is out in September, if they don't have a deal by then then i'll eat my own leg and hop around screaming 'cunt' until they do...
