Men’s Life Magazine – whose heyday was in the 1950-1960’s featured glamor photography and outlandish tales of adventure that typically featured wartime feats of daring, exotic travel or conflict with wild animals (Ed – Because you know that’s what men had to contend with back in those days). Here’s 14 of the most ridiculous covers from that era. As you’re about to see, being a man in the 1950′s was tough – forget the war, you also had to contend with sea snakes, oceans brimming with zombies, mad elephants, hungry cannibals, several boatloads of pirates with machine guns, 20ft tigers pouncing on you oh and your Missus being held captive by a giant Lion on a railway line. The 1950′s then, where men battled the ele & nature with swagger and vigor!
Looks awesome doesn’t it? Would you believe it’s actually a clock. Or more specifically an ambient display that paints a visual memory of the last 60 seconds, the last 60 minutes and the last 12 hours in an never-ending loop. So how on earth does it work? Well, the hands of the clock are made of a slice of live video that gets scanned to the clockface – you can make this yourself, but shooting footage on your iPad and then importing it into the clock itself.
WHO? You’ve probably never heard of “Team Ghost” in fact nor had I until yesterday – but upon closer inspection they might just be something very special indeed. They’re a new duo formed by Nicolas Fromageau, a founding member of M83 alongside Anthony Gonzalez. Disregard the bizarre promo photo that makes them look like Digitalism (they sound nothing like them) SO WHAT DO THEY SOUND LIKE? Melancholic, romantic, evocative, sparse, expansive, soaring & epic. ANY VIDEOS? Sure are, the hypnotic “High Hopes”
Rewind to 2009, hip hop duo N.A.S.A. consisting of L.A.-based producers Squeak E. Clean and the Brazilian DJ Zegon had just dropped their debut record “The Spirit of Apollo“. At the time was one of the freshest, most creative hip-hop records to come out in years. It had an astounding list of vocalists and talent mixed all over it, with guest MC’s including Kanye West, Chuck D, Chali 2na, Gift of Gab, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, David Byrne, Tom Waits, Lykke Li, Karen O, Santigold, M.I.A., and George Clinton.
WHO? Skylar Grey (aka Holly Brook Hafermann) aged a mere 25 is a Grammy-nominated American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter & producer. She’s no wide-eyed newcomer to the music business either having major role in writing 2010′s biggest selling single “Love the Way You Lie” for Eminem & Rihanna. In fact the rumor is, she penned the chorus in a mere 15 minutes. To add that impressive achievement, she’s also written & featured on “I Need A Doctor” (Dr. Dre & Eminem), “Coming Home” (Diddy-Dirty Money), and “Words I Never Said” (Lupe Fiasco). Simply put, the girl has connections and a knack for writing hooks. So here’s the question. When did the name Holly Brook!2?id=25555520fade and the pseudonym Skylar Grey emerge? The answer, is apparently whilst renting a room in a house infested with black widow spiders & editing porn videos (no I’m not making that up.). In a recent interview with Rap-Up.com she’s stated that shock-rocker Marilyn Manson would feature on her new album. Specifically on a song called “Can’t Haunt Me,” of which she mentioned is about zombies. Fitting really. SO WHAT DOES SHE SOUND LIKE? A mixed bag currently. But judging by her influences (Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Sarah McLachlan and Death Cab for Cutie ) & latest video – her new record should be rather interesting. ANY VIDEOS? Sure is, released this week. The eerie “Dance Without You”.

The Somerset Lavender Farm, England is home to more than 50,000 lavender plants, rows of vibrant bushes spread amongst a 5-acre field.
