I'm supposed to be packing up stuff to head back for the new term in Nottingham, but I've just come across loads of magazines that have been neglected at the bottom of my wardrobe for far too long.
Picked up my copy Sneaker Freaker # 11 and I've been reading this article on the role of sneakers in crime and convicting criminals.
Pretty interesting stuff if only for the opening paragraph which I'm sure a lot of people can relate to...
Sunday's are always pretty lazy, but today I took a stroll into town, and during my usual stop at the WHSmith library I came across a new magazine:
"wuw magazine is the smart little compact mag for the arts! Whatever u want (wuw) is a new lifestyle mag for people with vision, based in Brighton and ye'old London Town.
With pages full of Fashion, Graphics Illustration, Music, Fine Art, Photography and Politics. wuwmag sets itself apart from the standard magazine, by creating a new perspective on lifestyle and culture and giving people the opportunity to showcase their work to the masses! wuwmag is cram packed with innovative ideas and information. It seduces the eye and satisfies the mind."
This second issue has some nice features, an interview with Mumdance, Monsta Squad, and the piece that really caught my eye about the 'Flexible Love' Chair. Designed by a Taiwanese college student, it can seat up to 16 people !! More information at www.flexiblelove.com
Here's a little head's up on a new mix series coming straight out of Nottingham. The guys at Fresh out of Death have teamed up with Yo Mama ! and are curating a new mix series with past and future guests from both nights...
Standard New Year's Day food for thought aren't they ??
I know I've been sitting bleary-eyed and slightly worse for wear trying to think of what I'd like to do differently, all I can really come up with is a collective resolution from all of us here at the Kool Kids Klub.
We WILL finally get some regular updates on the blog
I'd like to pretend that it's going to be a daily thing, but like all good intentions I know that wouldn't last - so let's just say things are gonna be updated more regularly than last year.
