Debruit

Dear you guys,
Debruit is dropping a new album in a couple of days, it looks like this:

It sounds like this:

I'm pretty excited - because we all know how awesome Parisian glitch-hop is.

Apparently Debruit has been digging up rare African melodies for three years to create this album that these guys said reinterprets raw tribal sounds, 70's highlife and afro funk psych into a hip-hop and drum-heavy curveball. 

..whatever that means. Anyway I dig it. 

Here's something a little older that you should probably listen to:

I've been wondering a lot lately why there aren't more dudes wearing lipstick.

Alumina

A while ago I was flying home from the east and while admiring the view from the window as we flew into the city I noticed something from above that looked huge and kind of cool. So, when I got home I jumped on google maps and started having a look around the area for what it was that I had seen. I'm not even sure if I found what it was that I was looking for, however, I did find an Alumina refinery in the area and decided that a birds eye view of one of these things looks pretty fucking incredible.
Anyway, it has taken me ages but finally I decided to sit down and waste some time searching for the different refineries all over the globe and taking some screen caps of what I found. Thus is the result...

Most of these are in Australia with a couple from Canada, USA and Brazil. Other countries included China and I think Pakistan but the satellite images were pretty rubbish over those countries so I gave up. :)

Last week when I was trying to prepare a presentation on copyright law and all that is boring that goes along with it I thought it would be a great idea to liven things up by starting the presentation with this as the background for the cover slide...

Needless to say, I got a bit carried away and started searching the internet for images to run with this theme, so much so that I forgot to do my presentation. Now its my big day and all I have is a bunch of beach related photos from the 80's, a bunch of pretty rad beach related photos from the 80's yes, but still no presentation. 

I wish I could be the kind of person to go though with this theme while committing to a serious presentation and powering through it with no acknowledgement of what's going on in the background of my slides but I don't think I have it in me so I decided to share the pictures here with you.

PS. I can't be bothered acknowledging the photographers for some of these photos because I didn't write them down at the time when I was furiously pulling them off of the internets - which is pretty ironic considering that the assignment is on copyright, I know - but I'm happy to remove it if its yours and you're offended.

This video clip is rad.
