Uk Garage legend Sticky is making big inroads on the grimier end of Uk Funky, not least with the excellent Jumeirah Riddim, which has now been voiced by JA dancehall star Natalie Storm

Howdy! It’s been a few weeks since the last update, but with good reason. My Comps, as of one week ago today, has been turned in and not failed by the Studio Art professors! Cause for celebration, I would say. And what better way to do it than by posting the pages from the most recent, and most extravagant Carleton Comics Journal (cover designed by Kailyn Kent)? Let’s get on with it, then:

The issue, due to financial constraints, was unfortunately printed in black-and-white:

Financial constraints that will be solved come Winter Term, hopefully. In the meantime, our motto remains “Small donations are appreciated.” Until then, enjoy what joys late November and the month of December have to bring. One of those joys includes the Scott Collection’s resuming updating! See you on Friday.

George Michael will perform two Australian concerts in February, and the first will be in Perth.                                                          

Rumours had been rife that the Too Funky star was headed down under, and today his Australian trip has been confirmed.

Heading to Australia for the first time since 1988, the Wham! star and solo pop vocalist will perform at Member’s Equity Stadium on February 20.  He will then perform in Sydney at Sydney Football Stadium on February 26.

He will perform tracks from the early days, Wham! and his latest material.

Promoter Paul Dainty said it was thrilling to bring Michael back to the country following his Faith tour in the 80s.

“He is a consummate performer and will deliver a stunning show to his fans who have waited 22 years to see him perform in Australia,” Dainty said.

Michael has performed for more than 2 million fans on this 25 Live arena tour so far. More than 350,000 people flocked to his London performances alone.

Michael has sold more than 100 million pop albums, had six American number one singles and won plenty of awards for tunes including Faith, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Careless Whisper, One More Try, Freedom, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me and Too Funky.

Tickets will go on sale through TicketMaster on December 8.

Nu ma pricep la televiziune nici macar la modul amator. Nu ma pricep tehnic vorbind. Nu stapinesc limbajul specific si nu am fantezii regizorale. Dar stiu ce-mi place si sint sigura ca remarcile mele sint sustinute de bun simt, de experienta ochilor zgiiti la tv si de o oarecare posesie de emisfere cerebrale stinga si dreapta, cu a caror uniune fericita ma laud uneori.

 Sint un observator  cindva avid, trecut prin faza indignarii, momentan blazat de atita zappare  sterila. De fapt, nu sterila e cuvintul cel mai potrivit, mai degraba daunator. 

Fiind dintr-o generatie mai veche, avind un copil de iubit, dar mai ales, de crescut cum stiu mai bine, “bine” fiind cuvintul cheie, ma zbat ca pestele pe uscat sa-i cultiv (si) simtul muzical. Din pacate, el are déjà 6 ani si singurele sunete armonice –mai mult sau mai putin- pe care le-a procesat sint cele de la radio. Unele dintre CHR-urile noastre dragi, care se asculta, se cauta, se vind ca piinea calda si se bat intre ele mai ceva ca zmeii din poveste. Am gresit refugiindu-ma in lumea mea, cu castile pe urechi, ascultind in mod egoist ceea ce eu credeam ca mi se cuvine exclusiv. In capul meu era ca nu trebuie sa “deranjez restul lumii” cu toanele mele hedoniste. In plus, am un mod foarte ciudat de a asculta muzica: ori o pun pe repeat, ori sar dintr- una in alta, fara sa le las sa se consume, daca simt ca ma consuma, ambele variante fiind cit se poate de enervante pentru posibila audienta. Eu ascult jazz. Funky.Metale grele. Blues. Oldies. Multa chitara. Bass (uuh, so sexy)!

Bun, dupa “preludiul” asta prea lung si pentru o virgina, incerc sa ajung la mesajul din titlu. Din vinovatie asadar, si din nevoia de a compensa si mai ales, a indrepta propriile greseli, am incercat sa caut un post Tv muzical care sa ma ajute in acest demers. Constat inspaimintata si indignata de lipsa de respect prin omisiunea din target pe care mi-o furnizeaza toate televiziunile de profil ca oferta e compusa din: “videoclipuri” vechi, facute cu picioarele, care au sarmul lor si locul bine stabilit in evergreenuri, dar tot cu picioarele ramin facute si cu un sound de faci riduri, ori duduite uleioase care se mingiie intru slava irigarii organului masculin. Toate pe fond negru, toate supra-tencuite, toate cu chiloti si centura, tocuri, ude, uscate, fierbinti-pina-la-overheated, mustind de fetisuri defetisizate si toate, dar absolut toate, cu cadre realizate cu incetinitorul, in timp ce ele inchid ochii, “patrunse” de moment. Acuma…avind creier de femeie, sigur sint mai rea si mai putin ingaduitoare pentru ca pe mine nu ma excita. In absenta altor pretentii de emotii pe care mi le-ar putea stirni, mai ramin cu asta. Daca tot s-a generalizat ca sexul vinde, mie de ce nu-mi vinde nimeni nimic? Sau de ce nu incearca, macar? Bagati-ma si pe mine in prostitutia voastra, daca aveti cu ce…Promit sa platesc cit face.

“Filled with french perverse 70’s LSD funk, some monstrous jazz + samba flipouts, several cult and very influental songs mixed with ridicule of The Beatles and the non-existent hippie-parody Dewey Cox himself.

This small collection went through some big changes over time. At first, I made it the most obvious way – indie experiments with japanese and NY noise bands (OOIOO, Optimo, Pullsallama etc.) but that was simply to simple, raw and it was’nt “romantic” and humorous enough. So I basically shifted entirely from that direction into sex, retro, french, jazz, kinky, ridiculous direction and tried to make a sort of a “soundtrack” that is not that tough at rhythm but more into the freedom loving atmosphere of the swinging sex organs.

Standout tracks, and maybe tracks that make this comp a must have (for those who never heard them before) are definitely: the gorgeous and life-fulfiling, jamming Andrew Bird’s Coney Island Shuffle, Janko Nilovic’s by far the best composition Xenos Cosmos from 1972 (the last 1 minute of the song is golden and the rest of his work is mostly crap), magickal Senor Coconut’s – Rydeen, of course Serge Gainsbourg’s cult classic Bonnie and Clyde, Sohail Rana’s Soul Sitar – a perverse take on bollywood humour (Guys from Ninja Tune label had lots of fun remixing this gem) and the infinite Piggies - spitting humour from The Beatles. Also, I should mention Marsha Hunt with her nipple shaking (Oh No! Not) The Beast Day, a strangely missed groovy 70’s funk club hit.” – Bleeding Panda

En cuanto descubrió que lo suyo era el baile, se matriculó en una escuela de danza, y desde entonces solo ha recibido clases. Dani asegura: “Si no bailase no sería yo mismo, con la danza me muestro tal y como yo soy realmente”.

Quiere ser un bailarín reconocido, aunque ahora mismo trabaja como administrativo en una empresa. Dani asegura que quiere dedicarse profesionalmente al mundo del espectáculo, y añade: “Sé que es muy difícil que te den una oportunidad, pero yo, gracias a Fama, ¡a bailar!, voy a demostrar que valgo para la danza”.

El estilo de baile que más domina es el funky. Asegura no tener miedo a ningún estilo, aunque el lírico le impone un poco. Este madrileño comenta: “No tengo técnica, y el lírico es un estilo muy complicado, aunque con esfuerzo, creo que podré llegar a controlar esta disciplina”.

Dani se autodefine como un chico, sincero, extrovertido, perfeccionista y muy nervioso. En su tiempo libre le gusta practicar deporte, sobre todo su favorito, el baloncesto.

It is that time of the year again!! Time to open the Market!!!!

Kataplin has been working really hard setting up our booth at the amazing Union Square Christmas Market, where we will reside until the Holidays. It is in my mind the finest venue and always such an exhilarating experience to have a chance to show off our designs in the heart of NYC.

In the last few weeks Luciana has printed many new shirts for kids and adults as well as some fantastic organic oncies for babies in really awesome colors. There is a barrage of choices of designs, since our collection of characters is bigger then ever! And due to many requests, we have decided in the end to make sweatshirts again. The best news is, we are right next to the hot chocolate and brownie stand, yum!!!

The market is open everyday from 11 to 8 (except for thanksgiving). We hope that you have a chance to come and see us this holiday season. In case you can’t make it let us wish you the best of holidays !!!

Featured in the current issue of  The Knot Philadelphia, the wedding of Jenni and Jay had to be one of the most elegant-yet-amusing events we have worked on!  The couple’s clever wit, love of family and modern joie de vivre was evident throughout the wedding celebration.  No matter where they went, what they were planning, or the topic of conversation, they were laughing together and it was a PARTY!   Jenni and Jay enjoy each other and know how important family is to their future.  As you can see from the gorgeous photos, Gabe and Philip Fredericks of Philip Gabriel Photography captured the couple’s candid moments and transparent happiness throughtout the day.

The night before the wedding the couple shared an intimate rehearsal supper at The Powel House in Society Hill.  Built in 1765, the Georgian-style mansion was the location where Martha and George Washington celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.  Jenni and Jay enjoyed dinner with their family and bridal party inside the mansion before heading outside to the tented garden to celebrate with dessert and cocktails with their out-of-town guests.   The rehearsal dinner invitations were Colonial-inspired and completely written by the groom in old-English (off the top of his head!).  The cocktail napkins, signage, menu, cocktail selections, music and decor were all designed to reflect back to the Colonial-era but with the extra kick of wacky humor only the bride and groom could supply!

The ceremony took place at historic Old Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Society Hill.   The Church was established in 1763 and was the first cathedral of the Diocese of Philadelphia. George Washington, John Adams and other members of the First Continental Congress attended St. Mary’s for Sunday Vespers in 1774. Printer and publisher, Matthew Carey, Commodore John Barry, General Stephen Moylan, George Gordon Meade’s grandfather, George Meade, and Michael Bouvier, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ great-grandfather, are all buried in the church cemetery.

Jenni loved the idea of plum, lavender and burnished gold tones in modern shapes mixed with vintage elements. If we could bring in organic, locally grown and ”alternative” natural elements – all the better!   That theory included the bridesmaids who wore stunning short grape satin gowns with antique gold trim.  Their bouquets were composed using Roses, Lady’s Mantle, mini Calla Lilies, Viburnum berries and Scented Geranium. 

And then there was the totally COOL ringbearer.  Nobody rocked their tux like he did. (not to mention the sneakers).

Formal photos (and not-so-formal “formals”) were taken in historic gardens throughout Society Hill and Independence Park, including the Magnolia, Rose and 18^th Century Gardens.  All of the gardens provided Gabe and Phil the texture, greenery and structure they wanted for the variety of candids and formal photos.

While the bridal party moved through Society Hill taking photos, the guests were invited to the bride’s parents’ boat, the Five Keys, for the first of two cocktail receptions.  Once they arrived, Jenni and Jay were welcomed on the dock like rock stars!  Their dog Tuck was waiting on board for the last of the formal photos with the bride and groom.

Well, almost the last photo.  The photographers took some spectacular shots as everyone made their way back to the buses and cars.  From here, it was on to the Westin Philadelphia for the reception!

Once at the Westin, guests were invited to the Ballroom Foyer for the main cocktail reception.  The bride and groom had taken some hilarious photos months before the wedding that later proved to be the perfect surprise place cards.  Conservative and traditional on the outside and shockingly humorous and sweetly sentimental on the inside! 

The Grand Ballroom at the Westin Philadelphia was soft, warm, romantic and funky enough for Jenni and Jay!  The hotel’s round tables were replaced with wide  rectangular tables which were dressed with custom made Lavender Magic Satin linens.  Fruitwood Chivari Chairs with Raisin Velvet Cushions were used, as were ivory hemstitched linen napkins and Amethyst Water Goblets.  The warmth of the hotel’s parquet wood dance floor worked perfectly, as did the plum velvet drapery panels we installed behind the stage.  Amber and soft purple lighting was installed around the perimeter of the ballroom which added additional layers of romance and warmth to the intimate setting.

Jenni and her mother Karen wanted the dinner tables to feel lush and full but approachable and conversation-friendly.  We designed low arrangements that balanced candles with interesting  mixes of locally grown and imported flowers.  An eccelectic combination of contemporary and traditional vessels held both flowers and candles:  Zebra wood boxes, glass rectangular vases, square glass in dark weathered iron stands, vintage gold and plum hand blown glass vessels. 

The “funky but fun” centerpieces were true conversation starters!  Countless varieties of flowers and organic materials were used to make sure that each and every table was truly original in style, texture and design in the lavender, plum, purple, magenta and green tones selected by the bride.   Blue Bird and Cool Ocean Roses: purple, green and white Hydrangea; Scented Geranium; magenta Anenomes; Schwartzwalder and Picasso mini Calla Lilies; plum, white, magenta and purple Ranunculus; chartreuse Lady’s Mantle; purple tulips; lavender clematis; Privet and Viburnum Berry;  varieties of Hosta Leaves; magenta Dendrobium Orchids; Hens and Chicks, as well as other succulents; chartreuse Cymbidium Orchids; purple and magenta Coxcomb;  miniature Italian Artichokes; mauve Pepper Berry; Lotus Seed Pods; purple Agapanthus; Snow Berry; miniature purple Kale; Blue Thistle;  Jade Tricillium; Smokebush; chartreuse Euphorbia; Wheat and Red Grass;  Ornithigalum; chartreuse Amaranthus; Copper Head; Figs on the Branch; Plum Tree Leaves; Scabiosa; Acorns on the branch; purple Dahlias; Fiddle Head Fern; Bromeliad; and King Allium.  Whole Pears, Plums and Grapes were tucked in here and there for low texture.  We used locally-made beeswax pillar and votive candles wrapped in green moss or placed in large glass hurricanes.

A stem of a fragrant herbs grown in our Greenhouse, such as Lemon Balm, Rosemary or Mint, was tucked into each napkin fold to add a touch of color and fragrance at each place setting. 

After the dinner dance came to close in the main Ballroom, the bride and groom invited their guests to a casual after party with karaoke, favorite bar snacks and comfortable seating.

Keeping with our theme, here’s another cool and unusual stool design! This heavy-duty stool from Seating Inc. is a little weird looking, but it’s a really fantastic design for anyone who sits on a stool for long periods of time. It features a cushioned, rotating bar that can be manipulated to serve any number of comfortable and supportive positions — use it as an armrest, back rest, or “belly bar”!

This innovative stool is also a great choice for people with back or shoulder problems, or anyone who’d like a bit more support than your average medical stool.

More perks: rated up to 275lbs, with a lifetime warranty, and an extensive list of colors and fabrics! It can also be purchased as a low, medium, or full-height stool.

I thought I underestimated how sick I was on Sunday and that my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw the score of the Tottenham/Wigan match in the bus on my way to camp this morning.

“9-1?! No way! Holy Shit!”

I want to be part of the crowd.
Anfield. Emirates. Wimbledon. British Grand Prix.
Next year. Can’t wait. Hell yeah.

I Like SoulFull Funky Man. The Girl Dem Get Mad To This Riddim

          Sala de música, de esas emblemáticas de Madrid, de 5 de la mañana y todavía sigues en la barra o bailando, tarareando canciones. Sala que visitan grupos consagrados, u otros que con el mero hecho de poder pisar su escenario ya sienten que va a tratarse de un gran concierto. Sería una sala de música como otra cualquiera, pero las paredes de la Sala Sirocco engloban un ambiente especial, desaliñado y de buena música. No es una cualquiera.

Sirocco

          El local ofrece un clima diferente, ya desde que entras estás en una armonía con la música que allí se toca, un feeling cómo si se tratase del bar al que acudes todos los días.Esaleras que bajan y te permiten pasar cada escalon con más fuerza, y paredes naranjas, que ayudan a cerrar los jos y disfrutar con el oído. Y como la mayoría, tiene como plato principal la buena música y el disfrutar. En un barrio muy concurido de fiesta madrileña, esta sala, situada en la Calle Dimás número tres tendrá abiertas sus puertas aquellas noches de retiro, de apartase de too y soliviantar los males con su música, su funk, sus sonidos, puesto en la pared y bebiendo con un hielo en el vaso. Pero por poco tiempo, porque Sirocco no deja a nadie tranquilo, en todo momento sigues las notas músicaes y unas ganas irresistibles de bailar.

Check out the Music Video Premiere of Janet’s New Single “Make Me” of the new greatest hits “Number Ones”

One thing, Janet looks super cute in the video, I’m loving the white outfit with the shoulder embelishments, I feel like that should make an appearance in my wardrobe. I’m also liking the digital effects, reminds me a bit of the scream video. I suppose seeming as the track plays a bit on Michael’s “Dont Stop Til You Get Enough” that may have been her mini tribute to him. I wish there was more dancing though, I feel like they kept it very simple, very safe. Even though the song isn’t heavy dance orientated, and this isnt for a new album I still wanted to see Janet break out a bit more like at the VMA’s this year but who knows I’m sure there will be a performance of this in the medley on Sunday so I guess we will see whether choregraphy is amped up for that.

Janet will open the American Music Awards This Sunday.

*EDIT*: Is it me or does Janet’s face look like she hasnt aged in 20 years.

Haha, I’m still on my stool kick, so to speak! These bar stools are definitely eye-catching, though I’m not sure what message they send. I guess those are some good-humored nuns, though.

Stay tuned for more cool stools from Seating Zone.
