Jamaica




The French electro-pop duo Jamaica hits Bruges this saturday. If you're into happy guitar hooks, electronic drum patterns and all-around catchyness you should put this show in your agenda. One for the hipster quiznight: Jamaica's first album was produced by Xavier de Rosnay of Justice (the one without the giant moustache that is).

Jamaica plays the Ma/Z on saturday 27 at 22:00. They sound like this:

Walkers pt. II

For those who still have doubts about how amazing The Walking Death really is (both comic and series)... The fine people from the Scream Awards thought so to and awarded the comic with the Best Comic Book or Graphic Novel-prize!

And here, just for you, the official trailer of The Walking Death Series. Enjoy!

Bryan Ferry - Shameless (Mylo Remix)


I'm having a lot of time on my hands these days, so spending it on the search for good music is one way of not boring myself to death. I found this awesome Mylo remix of Bryan Ferry in an earlybird internet search (9.10 A.M.). Mylo hasn't really produced anything worthwhile since his album Destroy Rock'n'Roll, but this elektropop take on Roxy Music style-icon Ferry is a groovy winner. I don't think I will be needing more music to get trough the day.

Eat this Jimmy Page!

Try playing Stairways to Heaven on this monster.

Hipster Hitler

This ironically dressed, fixie riding führer must be one of the funniest things on the web. Creators JC and APK turn Adolf in a 2010 hipster. He has a pitchfork-obsessed taste in obscure indy bands (like Arcade Führer), wears skinny jeans and organizes organic pic-nics.

Check out their comics here and get your own "I love juice", "Death Camp for Cuty" and "Eastside, Westside, Genocide" shirts

Kris Verdonck / A Two Dogs Company – K, A Society


Kris Verdonck’s K, A Society must surely be one of the most exciting installations and/or performances of the past year. Previous work has learned that his ability to create scenes and atmospheres that often go beyond the surreal, is truly inspiring and knows no borders. With this installation he, yet again, proves us his skill as he takes his spectators on a guided tour of a building where his works are displayed at different locations.

Time, space, reality, suicide and society are just some of the notions Verdonck investigates, as he takes us an a trip through different sceneries. His playfulness with the opposing concepts of reality and fiction, shows through extensive use of the medium film. The innovative way he uses space and installs his works in the rooms is to be admired: through dialogue with the surrounding areas, his installations gain spherical qualities, both in the positive as in the negative space.

As Verdonck asks his spectators at the start of the performance that he or she “mustn’t in any way seek meaning or coherence between the different installations”, the spectator gets pushed in more or less the same position of a little child that is asked not to eat the cookies that are standing right in front of him, on the top shelf of the cupboard; the spectators are stimulated to reflect on what he or she is seeing, just like the little kid is stimulated to get those cookies that have come right out of the oven, infusing the living room with the scent of chocolate and cinnamon. It is one of the playful paradoxes that mark Kris Verdonck’s way of thinking and give K, A Society a humorous and spontaneous touch.

An absolute must-see! K, A Society plays from the 26th of February until the 6th of March 2011 at Performatik festival in Kaaitheater, Brussels. More information over here: http://www.atwodogscompany.org
