Hey! Ho! Lego.
New favourite blog alert! A site dedicated to transforming a whole heap of classic and contemporary album covers into pixelated Lego versions.
Check out a bunch of our faves below and head over to their tumblr for the full scoop.
*Free* Free The Universe Dubs
Diplo & Co gave Mungo’s Hi-Fi & So Shifty the stems for a bunch of jams off Free The Universe for them to do their thing to and they’re now giving them back to the universe for free. Cop that ish.
yAORcht rock - Sound of Xmas 2013
The sight of this summer has been local hipsters grooving to the 70s AOR classics that make up the tenuous genre of “Yacht Rock”. It’s a dubious category and walks a fine line. Despite the awesome view and sunsets Christmas parties were not better for the playing of this:
The Radio Experience: NPR
A few subconscious realisations of mine were cemented whilst driving across Southern USA this past year.
- There is a small diversity of food on Route 66 (*ahem*only*Subway*&*McDonalds)

All I Want For Christmas Is a New Toy
Over and over we have raved about the new psychedelia this year. We totally love Wooden Shjips and in particular the packaging for their new super deluxe vinyl.
Which is die cut, spot varnished and embossed and all that good stuff that makes a perfect stocking filler.
