It seems you just can’t get away from Space Invaders — they’ve permeated the American (and international, to a lesser degree) psyche. We want to sit on them, stare up at them as street art, and now pop a cold one with ’em. The stainless steel multi-tool keychain features a flat-head screwdriver, a Phillips-head screwdriver […]

Anthrax acolyte, resident New York hooligan and Official Editor of All Things Metal, the nefarious Matt Hanrahan gives us the low down on Van Halen’s other exiled singer’s bio… As anyone who knows me knows, I am a die-hard fan of the Mighty Van Halen. I have seen the band live with Roth and Hagar […]

Marc Da Cunha Lopes, a photographer based in France, may be known for his editorial and commercial work, but it’s his personal artistic work that has led to recent interest.

One of LIAS’ favorite labels, mastermind JAPAN, has announced it will close shop in 2013, which would complete its 15th year on the market. As much of a bummer as it is, you have to admire an artist closing something down at its peak. Everyone from Entourage to Axel Rose to the Aliens franchise should […]

Russian born (via Tokyo via Seattle via Los Angeles) designer Igor Chak designed this headturning couch shaped like the classic Space Invader alien. The couch is made of all leather, with two glass surfaces on the arm rests. Although it might look uncomfortable it’s supposedly amply soft, “mainly lined and made with memory foam”. If […]
