"Something I spotted on The Sartorialist..."

I find myself saying that more and more.

Scott 'The Sartorialist' Schuman spotted him at Costume National in Milan, took his photo, and pasted it into his blog (for those who didn't know what The Sartorialist was, that's it in a nutshell). Yes, it's all a bit vacuous, and it really is only images (very rarely, Schuman will comment on cut, colour, fit and effortlessness) but I like looking at 'nice things', and this blog ticks all the boxes. If you like clothes, design and people, then get familiar.

NME in a spot of bother

With print-media on its arse, another legendary title looks to be in a spot of bother. In a year that has seen Arena, Buck and HHC close, the NME are reporting a 25% drop off in year on year circulation.

The NME was once the most important music publication in the country. With writers like Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons, it helped helped break bands like The Smiths and The Sex Pistols. Now, it's a teeny bopper magazine full of shit bands with cool haircuts and nut-squashing jeans. The thing is, the pop charts show there is still a huge market for this type of style-over-substance poppy guitar music, so I can only assume it's the slow death of print media that is the cause.

Looks like the 'internets' have won.
