Retro iPhone Covers


It was only a matter of time before someone really clever did this. The phrase "new age fun with a vintage feel" from that song about hipsters, that even my Mum knows, basically laid a template for clever people to sell things. So here is the latest accessory to give your new age fun(iPhone 4) that vintage feel. The best is definitely the "Macintosh iPhone" that off white plastic reminds me of being very young and that rainbow Apple really was quite something. Find them here.

Bob Dylan live in dublin 1966

The man himself in the Adelphi Theatre, Dublin in May 1966. Amazing to think of him playing here at his peak. One of my favourite songs too.

Mad Men returns, and it's already controversial


Mad Men season 5 is fast approaching. IT'S VERY EXCITING. The teaser poster, above, is typically stylish, and you'd have to be aware of the show to get the reference. It's been stirring up controversy in the blogosphere for it's resemblance to the startling and tragic 'Falling Man' image shot by Richard Drew as the Twin Towers collapsed. 


Both equally striking images, and if this article in Esquire is anything to go by, both with a lot of resonance for the collective cultural and moral mindset of the United States.
