Music. Camera’s. Guys Tees and Leggings.
Pitchfork released their review of ‘Lisztomania’, from Phoenix’s most resent album, on Monday. They for once had a similar opinion to me and felt the song was well constructed. They even went as far as saying that ‘Lisztomania’ might be “the feel-good hit of the beginning of summer”. I have been looking around at entry [...]

Vice City Battle: Round One
First up in the Vice city battle we have the skater look which, whether we like it or not, will always be around. Us folk over at we-are-awesome think that Melbourne and New York did well with the flannel button ups, and Barcelona didn’t get the memo that scarves are no longer in, also a [...]
Dear Reader
A few weeks ago Dear Reader, previously known as Harris Tweed, played a show at Assembly on a quiet Thursday night. The show, almost perfect, had a different feel about it. Assembly is one of the largest live venues in Cape Town so a gentle band that is well known for its intimate gigs has [...]
