This is Punk. The Dead Boys. Stiv Bators, Johnny Blitz, Cheetah Chrome; they're all here. And also Sonic Reducer (zipped MP3). Fun. Lots of fun. Even more fun. I want that Fender Jaguar... or a Gretsch. Oh, just gimme any odd guitar. 8:36:21 PM     |

The Cartoonist Recommends. Iain Sinclair, London Orbital. Fab. One might be forgiven for thinking that the only thing more boring than spending a year walking around the M25 would be reading a large book about walking around the M25. Yet Iain Sinclair's London Orbital is a fascinating and curiously haunting read. 12:28:28 PM     |

Chaos in Germany. Well, not everywhere (apart from the government inflicted chaos), but certainly at The Art Directors Club Germany. They voted Michael Schirner as their 'Honorary Member 2003'. Which is well deserved - Michael has been a leading figure in German advertising all through the seventies and eighties. Enter Rulf Neigenfind, who doesn't think so. Guys, this is material for a novel. Brilliant. All in German, I'm afraid. 9:36:12 AM     |
