Design and the Elastic Mind

listening to: Daggermouth.

I just finished watching this video for an incredible inspirational exhibtion, 'Design and the Elastic Mind':
taken from, Cool Hunting.


I was stuck in the studio till pretty late last night so missed PORTASOUND and TIRED IRIE in Hoxton. I heard it was a good show. I am really liking 'pint of nesquick' on portasounds myspace, it makes me feel very odd, in a very good way.

Lots of exciting projects in the pipeline and some new posters to go up online very soon.

keyboards of power!!!!!!

listening to:Yndi Halda

Chris sent me this....i hope it begins your week with fun and insane colour. lightning should fire from all keyboards.



quite quite amazing. The synth sound is actually incredable. how do you pitch a video like that... what is the treatment???

yikes.

i missed rota this week... and by all accounts i missed a really good one.
Attack in black are playing on Saturday though so all is not lost.

owch my lungs

Listening to: no idea what it is...some idie band on the leon cafe playlist???im not desperate to find out...oh wait Elliot smith just came on.

check out the craftmanship of our new breakfast bar in the studio!!! its amazing what can be done with some 'found' old, iron frames and some rusty doors. Chris spent a weekend with our architect and power tool loon friend, Hartle and whipped up this little construction. I spent a while sanding down one of the doors, hoping to never have to use it again, metal dust aint pretty.
im working on building a wooden top for it at the moment. This is all a distraction because i dont have the cable to upload the photos of dashboards show last night....dashboard in a church. very strange indeed.
Having arrived late not only did we not manage to grab a picture of the merch table ladened with our posters, we also managed to miss John Ralston. The venue was simply amazing despite the pretty awful sound, most likely due to the fact of our late coming we only managed to get a space behind the pa. It seemed like everyone had a lovely time and the kids sang and the parents sat and dashboard screamed.
ill upload a picture tomorrow maybe. for now i have posters to draw.

OH and thanks to Jasmin for sorting death cab tickets!!!!!!

Maple state session

Listening to: The maple state in session

Some amazing new songs in this half hour session. They sound pretty influenced by the new brandnew album, but this can only be a good thing in my eyes. watch out for a very odd interview though.

Dashboard tonight at the St James's Church in Picadilly! woooo.

vanessa felts

I had Completly Forgotten about this song untill after a weired Conversation with lu took us from Vanessa Felts to phats and Small to mojo and onwards to more 90's dance, although this is a little later than the previous and perhaps somewhat more credable.

New Posters added.

new Joan of Arc song

Listening to: Joan of Arc, 'A tell tale penis'

Read a load of this (from jan) that ive only just seen:
'Joan of Arc has finished their latest release Boo!Human and it will be mixed this week. The release is scheduled for June on Polyvinyl. Expect an extensive tour in support of this.'

They have a new song, A tell tale Penis' on thier myspace and i cant really stop listening to it. Cant wiat for the album! I was trying write a little about it and the history of this band but realised im in no way a music journalist, any way read here and i strongly recommend having a listen. Hoory for 'Kinsella Core'!! (Im going to make that catch on, Jasmin)

Listening to: Chris chopping posters.

Hello all, long time no post. We have now built our new desk area, a bohemoth of a structure it is. Its looking lovely although i dont have a picture of it to hand. My NEWWWW digital camera is on charge and my legs are tired. perhaps on the morrow i will take pictures of the whole factory to show you all.

so, rundown on the recent happenings.

Bank holiday was super fun with saturday seeing us head to and help at an Elefant Art video shoot. very green and exciting it was:

Glitter+cream+fur+catchiest song of the year=fun.

Monday was the 1st and possibly last ever 'Annual Telegramme VS LRB easter weekend rounders game'. LRB came away with the first title and although i wont go in to details there was im sure some untoward illigal glove use happend on LRB's part....but we're not sore loosers.

LRB warming up

Telegramme's preemptive celebrations

Chris stepping up to the plate

Zborough's Oliver getting Attacked...although he was on our team

Telegramme with mixed emotions, half relaxed half anxious...the outs just kept coming

The Teams

yes yes we lost but next year its will be ours oh yes it will be ours.
sooooo today has seen printing some posters for next weeks Dashboard Confessional tour, Thanks to Christina for the use of her Beautiful studio while we are finishing our new one.

This evening has involved chopping them down and stamping them ready to send out. That brings us right up to the now. For now i must return to the cutting table. Ill post studio pictures very soon as well as lots of new work.
oh ...Tomorrow we are off to see our habbitat samples all printed up and ready for their autumn release!!!!!Exciting!!!

CLURB??????

Listening to: Elle s'appelle

OOOOOOk ok ok ok, lack of posting on the blog. we have moved in to the new studio, in the old peanut factory now and finally have internet sorted out. its been a long hard struggle sorting out broken electrics, moving HUGE screenprinting equipment(thank you to Heather at bow arts) among a gazzillion other problems. but slowly its coming together.

above is a proof for the advice postcard book we designed. its looking good and we cant wait to get a copy when its all printed! We are working on a website and other bits and pices for this project so expect more soon.

Lots of posters to be updated in the next week and plenty more in the works.


Busy weekend ahead of us, more building in the peanut factory, kitchen and non print area of the studio to be exact. Darren hayman of hefner playing bardens on friday, grand opening of the decima Gallery in the unit next door on Saturday, then Tellison and The maplestate tour arrives in london on sunday, phewwwww. will try and post som of the new work on here inbetween all of this!

Right i need to back up all of our work before my laptop goes in to computer hospital tomorrow.


love
