Are we Clash fans? Ummmm…you might have inferred that from the title of our little online project here…and you’d be 100% correct. Well it just so happens that London Calling, the album that contains our eponymous track, came out exactly 30 years ago today. Entertainment Weekly here posits it’s the best album of all time, […]

Creative Criminals collected a bunch of creative bus stop advertisements that don’t make me want to lobotomize my frontal lobe with a butter knife. Honestly, if ad people just spent a bit more time actually engaging their audience instead of patronizing them like mouth breathing simpletons then I wouldn’t want to throw a hand grenade […]

Art as experimental research tool with the artists being metaphors
In August 2008 Chiara Fumai spent 31 days of imprisonment in Cell A1C1 of the Oostereiland Penitentiary of Hoorn. She didn’t get busted for something.
