CLOTHING // NINJA TURTLES

We all know at first glance exactly what is being shown before our very eyes....Yes, it's the complete hoody range of those mighty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or TMNT as us turtle heads like like to call them.

Is this a prime necessity that needs to be in everyone's wardrobe for those elusive fancy dress events or even a family meal down at Nando's with your Gran in full Shredder attire (although I am yet to find this outfit...) or maybe even sitting around a table at Chinawhites sipping Moet whilst you lap up all the female turtle attention.

I also came across this beauty, if for some reason the above goodies do not appeal to you, then perhaps the esteemed superiority of Captain America may be right up your street. Being slightly overweight and with a beard definitely gives you the right to bare a CA hoody. One which i may seriously look at purchasing.

I sincerely hope this has redeemed the inner child of yester year. A perfect excuse to bring it back.

ART // STOLEN COATS

Ever nicked a coat from a pub when you're a bit pissed? Well Mike Ballard has stolen over 200 coats in a 10 year retaliation spree. His initial aim was to recover from the pain of having his own 55DSL jacket stolen from a crowded pub but it just spiralled way out of control.

Mike Ballard meticulously catalogued the location the jackets were stolen and also what was left inside them. In a self-imposed therapeutic session he now seeks redemption by relinquishing his collection back to the public. If visitors claim a jacket and correctly name the location it was stolen or its contents, they will be able to reclaim it.

MUSIC // SHOOK

It all began in 1986. It was the year Shook was born. As a young kid, Shook saw a light falling from the sky. It was the same night he stumbled on a pair of mysterious looking sun glasses. Shook wasn't a big fan of taking worn items he had found in the forest home, but against his principles he picked up the glasses and put them in his pocket. At that moment Shook felt a shiver running through his spine. A strange feeling came over him. He didn't know what it was, but it felt as if someone – or something – was lurking in the dark, watching him.

Shook has produced a number of remix's as well as his own stuff. Shook came to my attention which an absolutely outstanding remix of the soon to be cult classic Lizstomania by Phoenix. I think you will all agree with me here that shook has done this song an ever greater justice than the original.

Phoenix - Lisztomania (Shook Remix) by Shook (Official)

The style that Shook is simply beautiful, he collaborates a range of synths, piano rifts and deep soulful electronic music to create a perfect medley of upbeat all the way to drift asleep music. Such as this

Shook - Missing Without You by Shook (Official)

And this.

Shook - Picture moment (Unreleased) by Shook (Official)

I find the latter two of the tunes so moving and go off into my own little world.

Great stuff, hopefully get to see and hear about him more and more.

LENS CULTURE // SHOOTING LADY

The following link tells the story of a Dutch woman whose life is seen from the point of view of a fairground shooting gallery.

The chronological series begins in 1936, when a 16-year-old girl from Tilburg in Holland picks up a gun and shoots at the target in a shooting gallery. Every time she hits the target, it triggers the shutter of a camera and a portrait of the girl in firing pose is taken and given as a prize.

The lens culture website has thousands of articles on photography, art, media and world cultures. Well worth a look if you've got a spare week.

MUSIC // GEORGEC

George Couper as he is commonly known, is a small time well renowned bedroom DJ, mixing the likes of The Klaxons into dubstep and The Streets into dirty house. This mix gives you into a brief insight into the music world that is Mr Couper.

He has also produced a first track titled: Chateau Charbontiere

However, due to unforseen circumstances and a lack of exporting to an MP3 file from his side, it can't be posted until he resolves this issue.

Hope you enjoy his mix and hopefully this could be a name for the future, pencil this into your filofaxes ladies and gents.
