Hello & Happy Monday.

The Go! Team puts on a superb hip-hop/rock show that you should see (at all costs). { Their new album is also quite fantastic. }

Your soon-to-be-favorite mixed/ punk/ rock band is Australia’s The Grates.  { Go to one of their shows & you’ll want them to be your new best friends. }

Chip Kidd is a brilliant graphic designer.  Go look at your bookshelf.  If you read contemporary fiction, hell, if you read re-releases of classic fiction, hell, if you read books at all, odds are you unknowingly own some of his work.  He has just opened his own work in progress blog/journal/gallery site.  It’s a little sparse right now.  But expect good things.
