I like: my old skateboard
Anyone remember the trick gorilla grip? I think it was the only trick I knew. The artwork is, well..a dinosaur? Maybe a snake? Loved it as a kid. Still like it.
I like: Cavallaro with that Latin Beat
Ten years ago I had a thing for exotica. You know Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Yma Sumac etc…I picked this up back then. I don’t know why I liked exotica that much, it’s such a weird genre…that’s really pure fake. Or pure fantasy if you wanna stay positive. Even though it has lost it’s charm,...
I like: old Populär Mekanik
As might have guessed, this is Popular Mechanics magazine in swedish. I got this while hunting down a couple of cocktail glasses with pin-ups on them. I found both the glasses and this copy of Populär Mekanik No 3 from 1958 in a second hand bookstore located in a church on the swedish countryside. In...
I like: this pack of Death Cigarettes
Kinda bad picture this, sorry. Anyway, I think I’ve mentioned before, that I don’t smoke. But, I’ve kept this pack of cigarettes from a trip to London in…1993 or 1994..I think. Didn’t smoke back then either, but after seeing ads for Death in i-D Magazine I quickly realized that this was a product that I...
I like: Jonas Karner
You should always give credit where credit is due and to compensate for failing to give credit to Jonas Karner (for the cover art of Räkodlargazetten) in my last post, I give you this. It may seem strange that I kept a distorted napkin for some 14 years, but it’s from the box where I...
I like: Räkodlargazetten
School fanzine(?) from 1996(?) called Räkodlargazetten, which roughly translates as the Shrimpfarmer Gazette. Being seniors and all we aimed at two issues each semester…in the end there were just one issue during the whole year. But we did lots of other stuff…collecting toys, strange food from the school cafeteria and much more while drinking coffee...
I like: the Rocky Horror Picture Show
Singing, dancing and aliens from the planet of Transsexual (in the galaxy of Transylvania). Just the name Dr. Frank-N-Furter (played by Tim Curry)…awesome! I’ll keep this short, since you’ve probably already seen it. Oh, you haven’t? Well, it’s sort of a cult classic you know, so you should. Extra: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Trailer...
I like: Fuck You Heroes
With a book full of photographs of legendary punks, rappers, skaters etc, what can go wrong? Well, lots I guess. But this doesn’t. Capturing an era of counter-culture that really inspired me, this is still fun to return to. Some of these guys are gone, some took a mainstream route and some stayed anti. If...
I like: Swing Kids seven inch
Ok, this is a little weird, since I don’t know if this is a Kidney Room Records release or the the re-released on Three One G (As Three One G #2). Why? Well, I picked up a couple of records, took some pictures. Then I put the records back in my chaotic collection and did...
I like: Cigarette packages
I like old cigarette packages. I got this more than twenty years ago, in France. Actually, my father had to get it for me, since I was too young. Chevignon cigarettes wasn’t available in Sweden back then, which made it really cool, insted Chevignon winter jackets was the hype. That just made it all the...
I like: Ghostbusters seven inch
Me and J once had a conversation about how when you were a kid, you knew lots about a movie (the story and lots of details), long before you got to see it. For both of us Star Wars was the most definite example of this. Weird, I guess kids just have a vivid imagination...
