NEWS: Justice ‘A Cross The Universe’ tour DVD + live CD

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Here’s a teaser of the upcoming Justice ‘A Cross The Universe’ tour DVD that will be released next month. The French electro duo of Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Auge shot to fame with their remix of Simian Mobile Disco’s ‘Never Alone Again’ back in 2006, and upon the 2007 release of their acclaimed debut album Cross, quickly became one of the genres most popular acts. Judging by this sneak preview, the DVD - directed by So Me, Romain Gavras and Justice themselves - just reeks of sex, violence and rock ‘n’ roll. We Like!

A Cross The Universe will be released on November 24th, 2008; on a side note, Simian Mobile Disco will be performing in Malaysia soon, so stay tuned for more information.

BANGDAFUCCUP: Lapsap vs Sexinvaders @ Palate Palette, KL

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Belated pics from last Friday’s Lapsap party, which saw one half of German electro DJs Sexinvaders take to the decks with one half of KL’s finest for almost four hours straight. As per usual, it was packed tighter than peak hour public transport, resulting in the room getting so hot and stuffy that the bartender had to unloaded a couple of fire extinguishers out on everyone! Here’s hoping that they’ll get in some extra ventilation/fans/air-conditiong/eskimos for the next Lapsap …

Don’t forget, there are more pics after the jump!

NEWS: Canon Goes Green campaign

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

With the world’s biggest photographic and imaging trade fair, Photokina 2008, kicking off earlier this week, we have already seen numerous updgrades to cameras that have gained quite a bit of popularity with streetwear enthusiasts around the world. How much better are the new cams? Probably a bit, but if your “What you’re wearing today” self portraits looked like they were taken with a five year old webcam despite the use of state-of-the-art technology, your pics aren’t really gonna look any better this time round either.

With the cruel truth out the way, there is something that you and your penchant for snapping photos can do to make a difference, if you haven’t heard about the Canon Goes Green campaign then here’s the gist:

  • 2500 trees to be planted at Padang Kota Damansara
  • A tree for each picture submitted
  • Over 1000 pictures so far
  • All you need to do is upload your pic and they’ll plant a tree

Make a difference, since most of you on the forum are already uploading dozens of pictures anyhow, throw some over at www.canongoesgreen.com so there will be less chance that your kids will walk around this city rocking gas masks and radiation suits.

The tree planting will commence on October 19th, 2008, and they are looking for volunteers; head over to the Canon Goes Green site for more information about the campaign.
