Abandoned LondonDecember 25, 2008. Regent Street from Oxford Circus.
IanVisits explains:
A couple of years ago I had the idea that it might be fun to take photos of London without humans — yes, I was motivated by that scene in Westminster from 28 Days Later. Unfortunately, not being a film director I was not really in the position to have half of London sealed off for photos — but realised that on Xmas morning there could be an opportunity.
Alas, last year it poured down with rain — but this year the weather was good, and despite having a bad cold for the past few days I was determined to get up early and cycle around the West End of London taking photos.

Tweet of the year for 2009 already? No, not really. I don’t think hacking into the Fox News Twitter page and typing “Bill O Riley is gay” counts. But it was a noble — and very much appreciated — try. (via)
UPDATE: Apparently, Fox News was not alone.

This is my friend Bob. We’ve lived together, toured together, and temped together. We do a terrible job at keeping in touch these days, but the love is there. A little over a month ago, I chided him for seemingly flaking out on building the website for Never Ending Polaroid — a project in which Bob took a series of almost 600 polaroids featuring a person holding a polaroid of the person holding the previous polaroid of the person holding the previous polaroid. (You get the idea.) Amazingly, the scanning has begun and the Never Ending Polaroid has a Flickr site. Get lost in the rabbit hole.

Errors “Dance Music” It’s Not Something But It Is Like Whatever

Creation Records founder Alan McGee recently published his tips for 2009, and for the most part, dude is crazy. He did get it right with Pantha du Prince, however, so I was willing to dig into his list for a surprise. Thankfully, it paid off: McGee describes Errors as taking on “the Kompakt sound of Europe with their own paranoid, Glaswegian style.” I agree. And I love the idea that, somewhere underneath the jagged programming, there’s a band here.

An F-Train AberrationDecember 29, 2008. New York City.
Says Bowery Boogie:

At each station stop, it was funny to watch straphangers avoid sitting there, as if something was terribly wrong.
