FLICKR FRIDAY: LINA SCHEYNIUS

2010-10-15T15:42:00.003+02:00

We've been away a little while with this feature, but we're back with a bang! Thanks to our new Flickr Friday'er (is that a word?) Lina Scheynius. This Swedish-born photographer is not afraid of some bare skin and in-your-face intimacy. Kind of scary almost, but in a beautiful and pure way. Dark sexy scenes are being alternate without any fear to bright and soft colors. There will be an update

MUSIC MORNING: ARCADE FIRE

2010-09-27T10:47:00.003+02:00

By our guest writer Peter, who is browsing trough the pile of music-junk and always finds the jewels especially for you!Perhaps you already know the band you are going to read about right now.

FLICKR FRIDAY: LEAH BERNHARDT

2010-09-25T12:45:00.006+02:00

So, it's saturday. We hope you weren't waiting, and waiting, and waiting yesterday for our Flickr Friday. If so: sorry! Can we make it up with you? With a Flickr Friday that's on saturday? Because that's what this is. And it's a good one. Her name is Leah Bernhardt. She makes photographs with loads of emotions, and layers to discover. "Well, I'm Leah and 16 years old. I live on St.Croix in the US

MUSIC MORNING: DYLAN IN THE MOVIES

2010-09-15T14:47:00.003+02:00

Guest writer Peter A friend of mine came to visit me last night. He was excited and happy. “Peter, you have to listen to this! I am so excited ‘bout them! He ranto my computer and inserted a disc. Fresh new sounds, which I have never heard before, flew into my ears. My curiosity was piqued. “Who are they?” I screamed out loud, because the volume was set to 10. “Dylan in the movies!” he shouted

FLICKR FRIDAY: MARTINA GIAMMARIA

2010-09-10T11:43:00.002+02:00

Do you already smell it? We do. It's the smell of weekend. For some people to relax, and for some to work even more to pay for all of their rolls they want to develop. But, now you can chill for a couple of minutes. Sit back, and dive into this Flickr Friday with our girl Martina Giammaria. She's from Italy (you guys!) and was born in 1976 in an ancient town called Anagni. "I'm a chaser and

PHOTOGRAPHER ELIZABETH WEINBERG

2010-09-07T13:43:00.003+02:00

She lives in Brooklyn (NY), with two cats, a bicycle and a moped. Can't live without: iced coffee, the beach, bicycle as transportation, getting out of the city, and R.E.M.'s "Green" on vinyl.

MUSIC MORNING: FERGUS & GERONIMO

2010-09-06T11:16:00.004+02:00

From our guest writer Peter. This morning my ears, as well as my eyes, got opened. The first drops of water from my shower were accompanied by a new song. I immediately forgot the rain; the summer came back. The fast guitar riffs and the nice up tempo, pulls you into a wicked rhythm. It feels like drinking a red bull without the teeth killing sweetness. Or surfing on a big wave in the Pacific

MUSIC MORNING: FANG ISLAND

2010-08-29T14:26:00.004+02:00

Brooklyn's Fang Island describe their aesthetic as "everyone high-fiving everyone." So it's appropriate that the band's website features a video of them jamming out with kindergartners. 'Fun' isn't just a word for them, it's embedded in the band's musical DNA.Fang Island's self-titled second album is joyous despite its general lack of verses or choruses. It's the first time we hear this

FLICKR FRIDAY: MAIA AKIVA

2010-08-19T15:18:00.004+02:00

This is a special Flickr Friday. Not only because we post it on thursday, but also because of the photographer that is featured. Meet Maia Akiva: 17 years old, from Michigan and most of the time she uses her Holga 135 to shoot her incredible pictures. She's special because we think that this young talent already has such a great eye for colours, vibes, forms and composition. In her pictures you

FLICKR FRIDAY: EMMA ROSES

2010-08-13T13:05:00.004+02:00

*updated* Friday the 13th: a not-so-lucky day for many of you, but for Emma it is! She has been chosen to shine for one week in our Flickr Friday section. She has a talent for communicating a certain vibe or feeling with her photo's.

PHOTOGRAPHER JEN DAVIS

2010-08-09T09:15:00.000+02:00

Jen Davis (born 1987 in Ohio) is that kind of photographer that isn't afraid of reality. Maybe she is, but she dares to confront herself with her own, literally. Especially with her series 'Self-portraits': as a viewer you sometimes could feel ashamed of what you see. Her photo's are to the point, full of emotion and sometimes harsh. Brilliant combination.

MUSIC MORNING: THE SMILES

2010-08-06T12:23:00.005+02:00

This album is for those of you that are on the lookout for driving-, hanging in the park-, putting a way too tight surf suit on and getting ready to surf -music. The six-song Hermosa EP represents a major step forward for the young Southern California-based band The Smiles. The song titles and album cover point to sun, the beach, summer, and a good time.Their cheeks are scrubbing (musicly-wise)

PHOTOGRAPHER DANIEL RIBAR

2010-08-03T20:54:00.003+02:00

This guy is about the radiant, bright images. He lives in Detroit; not really a radiant city, so he's really searching for his fresh pictures. Sometimes he finds an interesting color on a wall or a strong shadow that he can use. But for most of his pictures he makes sure to get at least one trip out of town every month to keep his photo's fresh.

MUSIC MORNING: MORNING TELEPORTATION

2010-07-31T08:00:00.000+02:00

Posted by guest writer Carly BlackEver heard of a little band called Morning Teleportation? No? Well you should have. Why?

FLICKR FRIDAY: DANY PESCHL

2010-07-30T12:14:00.004+02:00

Whoops, we just realized we forgot about Flickr Friday last week. Excusez. But today we're going to make it up to you with this one, #6: Dany Peschl. Unfortunetly his email-adress didn't work (Dany, give us a shout out!) so we have zero info. But images say more than a 1000 words...

The Powder Kegs are a pop trio from Philadelphia via NYC, featuring Dan Maroti on vocals, guitar, and keyboard, Ryan Dieringer on vocals and bass, and Sam McDougle on drums.

MUSIC MORNING: GHOST PANTS

2010-07-19T13:54:00.000+02:00

This album has been made by one person, that we know nothing about, and is possibly sitting in a flat somewhere in Glasgow with a lampshade on his head and a wry smile on his face. There is NO information about this guy, only the band name: Ghost Pants, and that he's a single Glaswegian with a taste for lo-fi indie-pop and a tendency to wear household objects on his head. Static Hearts is the

MUSIC MORNING: BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD

2010-07-16T13:26:00.000+02:00

Formerly known as Bye Bye Blackbird, Blackbird Blackbird continues to swiftly produce dreamy, psychedelic, & hypnogogic pop music in the vein of chillwave contemporaries Washed Out & Toro Y Moi. Let yourself walk into a dreamy landscape of sound that is as hypnotic as it is catchy, as upbeat as it is ambient. Really a PAMMM! favourite already.Mikey S, the sole songwriter and producer behind the

MUSIC MORNING: WE SWIM YOU JUMP

2010-07-15T10:29:00.000+02:00

We're a bit in a nationalistic vibe (our footbal team from Holland just went crazy in Amsterdam, like they had won the WC. They only won the harts of the fans I think...), because here's another band from the lowlands: We Swim You Jump. Yes, a weird name, but such good music. And from Groningen! It's freaking catchy, and deserves to be listen to. So, listen.Sharks by We Swim You Jump

MUSIC MORNING: BIRD ON THE WIRE

2010-07-12T19:32:00.000+02:00

Yeah, Amsterdam has talent! In the shape of the band Bird on the Wire: two girls and a guy that make pretty music that make you travel a little bit back in time. Think Bob Dylan mixed with a touch of Belle and Sebastian and folkband Beirut. The singer of this band, Rosa, first played in the band Les Singes. They broke up, and Rosa started Bird on the Wire: a band with a more swinging sound than

MUSIC MORNING: MEMORYHOUSE

2010-07-11T13:12:00.000+02:00

With the kind of weather that's been in the Netherlands lately, we need some music to chill on. Music to eat BBQ chicken wings and burning on your balcony getting that nice, red, colour on your skin. This band, Memoryhouse, succesfully combine ambient soundscapes with Denise Nouvion's crystal-clear melodic vocals and have released a couple of great tracks in the past couple of months.

MUSIC MORNING: CROCODILES

2010-06-24T10:43:00.000+02:00

We haven’t heard from BTW Crocodiles since their Christmas-themed 7-inch with Dum Dum Girls. Turns out they spend the first half of 2010 prepping a followup to last year’s Summer Of Hate. Listen to first single “Sleep Forever,” and you’ll notice some changes — a cleaner sound, less snottiness in singer Brandon Welchez’s vocals. They owe some of that to producer James Ford, who is one-half of
