nice cover of the cars “just what i needed” by jarvis cocker and julian casablancas of the strokes, who seems to be porkin’ up. i guess rock stars should not be allowed to get fat, unless they’re elvis. oh, and… lets lay off the curse words people, it makes you all look like eight year olds. jarvis on the other hand, elegantly rules. by ar

when is halloween again?
its a bit funny that the entire world power is after a group of 20 year old digital rockstar hacktivist, calling themselves annonymous who are set to use their knowledge, as they say ‘at preserving free speech on the Internet’. they just arrested dozens of ‘suspects’ in the us and uk to ‘set an example’ for hacking into paypal, amazon, and various government sites including the CIA. the reason? a solidarity stance with wikileaks founder, and to punish paypal for its efforts to block payment to wiki, and amazon for kicking wiki off their servers in order to silence them. so far this has failed, not to mention that its rather biased and illegal as far as freedom of speech goes… but you know what, who really cares, let’s massage our brains with some pretty pictures. dd where’s your next post? by xy
Nobuyoshi Araki: gaga polaroids
aaaah how i cant stand this girl, i ran into her oneday at the milk studios in LA while shooting another one of my ‘favorite’ girls (wont mention names now). i stepped out to grab some air and inhale some smoke and out came gaga out of her obnoxious SUV – engin running and all. she was shooting a story for vanity fair (hello graydon? i know… you too have to sell mags) it was with nick knight in the next studio and i thought if the studio blew up now the world could be a better place… well maybe if only nick would get out clean. for one it would get rid of me not to mention the two debutant gals. in any case this girl is worse than madona in my book, in her savvy and blatant theft of creativity. even araki is not off limits apparently. i must admit though, its the best way i wish to see gaga. all tied up with a fag stuffed in her chords… i just cant stand another song with such uninspired garbage lyrics as “i’m too fabulous i’m so, fierce that it’s so nuts i live” packaged with a completely unrelated video done by the cream-of-the-crop of the industry who is so desperate for the cash and the glamor that pop brings. oh puke! bring back the pistols at least they were entertaining for a minute or two! by dd

FRANCIS BEAN COBAIN GREW UP
the spitting cross between kurt and courtney. is it possible the daughter of all grunge kids is 18? these photos by hedi slimane show she’s got an old soul behind the piercing eyes, but we all know she really lived before she was even born. by kl
