Holey Donuts: Very Low Fat Donuts!


No greasy aftertaste, zero trans fats,very low total fat (only 3 to 4 grams of total fat per donut vs. 20 grams of fat in other donuts! ) and 25% fewer calories. These are real donuts made with real donut ingredients.
"there is nothing "low fat" about the taste of these donuts" says one taster. Holey Donuts! is such a smart concept now we can eat more donuts and not look like one!

Bjork returns with a new album

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The pop landscape, not to mention the fashion scene, is always a duller place without Björk. So we're happy to report that the iconoclastic vocalist is back with a vengeance. After a four-year hiatus from touring (during which she spent quality time with her artist boyfriend, Matthew Barney, and their young daughter, Isadora), the Icelander is headlining this month's bigger-than-ever Coachella Music Festival. What's more, the Indio, Calif., concert coincides with the release of her much-awaited new album, out May 8. On Volta, she pairs up with hip-hop producer and hit single wunderkind Timbaland, promising tracks as catchy as Justin's but branded with Björk's taste for the bizarre. At times, she's backed by a ten-piece, all-female brass band.

London Calling


Self-willed sibling-cities New York and London will forever be at odds over certain things. They serve up rock stars like we do cold beer, for one. But while fashion, the cutting-edge kind, has predominantly gone to the British as well, they’re now giving credit where credit is due. London’s Victoria & Albert Museum—having recently seen a retrospective for UK style iconoclast Vivienne Westwood off to the States—has organized an exhibition at home that admires—gasp!—American fashion.
New York Fashion Now curator Sonnet Stanfill narrowed down New York-based designers whose labels launched between 1999 and 2004 by category—Avant-garde, Atelier, Menswear, Celebrity, and yes, Sportswear Chic, showcasing not only their signature pieces, but also telling their start-up stories.

Boris with Michio Kurihara

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Bore us? Never!
The US trade deficit just keeps rising, and one reason behind the gap is no doubt the number of albums churned out by Japanese power trio Boris. Unnamed sources within the White House claim that the Bush administration has been dreading the band’s inevitable team-up with Ghost, another one of the Land of the Rising Sun’s most prolific outfits. That hasn’t quite happened. (The Commerce Secretary wipes his brow as he reads Drag City’s new release output. “Bullet dodged,” he says. “Bullet dodged.”) But Rainbow, Boris’ collaboration with Ghost guitarist Michio Kurihara, comes pretty damn close.

Those among you who are somewhat bitter about the high quality of Boris’ recent release schedule will be p.o.’d to learn that, yes, this is yet another hit, a disc that exploits the band’s more tuneful tendencies. That is, it’s good-to-great. Just don’t expect the blistering blooz rock of Pink, the trio’s last proper full-length. Or the avant doom of Altar, Boris’ so-recent-it-makes-you-wonder-how-they-even-book-studio-time collaboration with Sunn O))). Do, however, expect a very groovy, very in-control set of psych pop tunes. To this Kurihara adds plenty of frizzled-fried guitar that sounds as if it was recorded at a much more aggressive session. It’s a superior hard rock product. And fast.

Eyehategod

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
The metal underground comes together to pay tribute and lend a helping hand to New Orleans sludge heroes Eyehategod.
“It’s flattering, man; it’s crazy, really, that so many people were influenced by Eyehategod,” says Mike Williams, the Eyehategod frontman. Williams is flattered by the added attention the tribute album has given him and the band, but he’s also thoroughly enjoying the final product just like anyone else.
“Eyehategod’s always been this band that’s existed on a tightrope; I’ve had people come to see us and say, ‘We drove from so-and-so to see you because we don’t know if you’re going to overdose or break up, so we just want to catch you guys one last time.’ But for the most part, we’re going to stay together forever. I think this is something you can’t really kill. We’re like a bad foot fungus; we just keep coming back.”

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
When a group of schoolgirls from an elite Victorian finishing school embark on a Valentine's day excursion to an unusual outcropping of volcanic rock, four members of the party are drawn towards the summit, where they experience powerful forces of time, nature, and eroticism, and vanish into thin air. This meticulously crafted Australian film displays a remarkable sense of eerie foreboding and lush surrealist sensibility, which have earned it a rabid cult following.

Director: Peter Weir

The Rebel Clan

Daisy Lowe has rock-and-roll in her blood and the edgiest clothes in her wardrobe. She’s the daughter of Powder vocalist Pearl Lowe (currently she launched her line of beautiful vintage inspired dresses and producing lace curtains and tablecloths) and Gwen Stefani’s husband Gavin Rossdale and she grew up around musicians and the trendy Primrose Hill set. As a result her style is ultra casual and chic, which is perfect to emulate if you don’t fancy getting too glammed up for your next night out.

Erwin Olaf: Grief


Photographer and filmmaker Erwin Olaf brings back his stylish combination of art, fashion and emotion to his new series called Grief. Olaf’s highly-stylized and digitally-manipulated pictures bring the beauty and glamor back into being depressed. Lone figures wearing perfect clothes and waiting in perfect rooms stare woefully at the floor or out the window, or wipe tears from their eyes. Even his color palette is flawlessly melancholy. His work was recently featured on the cover of the launch issue of Spread Art Culture Magazine. You can see more of his work, including his commercial campaign images for Diesel, Mooi and Kohler, on his website www.erwinolaf.com

Bonde Do role

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The trio Bonde do Role (“the Rollercoaster Band”) hailing from the city of Curitiba, Brazil, who were instantly discovered and signed by Diplo as the first artists on his label.
Bonde Do Role churned out their own brand of Portuguese rhymes over a barrage of mashups, tangible samples, and arena rock guitar riffs, which are sampled as well.
With a drunken member of the crowd intermittently tooting his air-horn, Bonde Do Role played tracks like "Melo Do Tabaco" with a beat that consists of the mashing up of the instrumental components of Alice in Chain's "Man in the Box" and Tone Loc's "Wild Thing." When writing this tune, Bonde Do Role obviously didn't feel the need to write a chorus because the late Layne Staley's wordless "yaaah yaaah yaaah yie yie yo" did just fine. Between tracks, Ribatski would spit out sexual innuendos in English, and in the middle of them, she would point at specific people and shout, "Hey, you're not dancing!" Their set was closed out with "Solta O Frago," and while most of the crowd wasn't fluent in their language, they were able to wave their hands and scream along to the "OLE!" part.

Divine Feminine

Based in L.A.'s gritty-hip enclave of Echo Park, designer Kristin Dickson has been bringing an even sunnier perspective to the SoCal fashion scene. With cleverly thought-out shapes, fresh lines, and a mix of unexpected details, her finely tuned collection called Rowena Sartin has been steadily gaining notice among dressers of purpose.
Like most young designers, Dickson is shaping her own view of modern relaxed femininity, one that is all her own.

Rebel Yell



Mexican-born designer Renata Morales turns up the volume on the Canadian fashion scene. Her brazen use of prints and embellishments are counter-balanced by woman-friendly seams and baby-doll-inspired cuts on dresses and ruffled tops.
Morales says she is not inspired by a single theme but by a series of thoughts and influences. "Music, to me, could be the highest form of art that communicates without time or borders," she says. The same can be said for her painting and design aesthetic. Morales recently held an exhibition of her artwork entitled Carnet de Reves wherein ghostly abstract sketches are doused in overlapping red, blue, and beige paint, creating the effect of a vibrantly streaked canvas.
