The Art Director's Weapons. I had these cards printed when I was working for FCB Hamburg. I had thousands of those. I used to throw them towards Account Managers, who wanted yet another salesfolder or shelf wobbler design. They were the size of ordinary business cards. 8:15:15 PM   Art & Advertising | |

The Clash in Germany. In 1977, the Clash toured Germany. Also in 1977, the German Punk fanzine The Ostrich published 'Total Control', a little A5 booklet full with articles about the band's gigs in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. Because I think there's a certain historical value to this, I created a PDF [4.8MB] of the fanzine. It's partly written in English (the interviews with the band), but most of it is in German (the articles). Enjoy and download. 1:23:57 PM   Cult | |

How Typical. Prices at a number of London's hotels increased by more than double on Thursday night, the BBC has learned. Why am I not surprised? 9:46:59 AM   London | |
