It took me a while to find the guy in the second picture. But the rest of these are pretty stunning too.

Look out for Ringo’s drum solo at the end.
Where are we going to go musically? At the end of the day we’re all going to have one album and everything is going to sound the same and people are going to turn away from hip hop.
Cause that’s what happened with rock music when the hair bands invaded and everyone sounding the same and looking crazy with their big hair and tight spandex. Hip hop came in with this defiance and saying something different and saying this is what we do. Hip hop took over music.
So we continue to do that type of music… which leaves a big gap for another type of music. I just was in Brooklyn the other day watching indie bands and watching the Grizzly Bear perform and they were just destroying things and I was like this is it. This is what’s gonna happen. Cause this is an unannounced show, 12,000 people, this is happening. The indie rock scene is in a great place, I enjoy watching that right now more than hip-hop. I know that’s one of things like Kanye saying he don’t play hip hop in his own house but it’s just true.
So death to autotune was more of a rally call. It was angry because it was like ‘ok, enough of that! Let’s go. Let’s go!’

This is why I love Jay-Z. We would be good friends.
It’s so hard to describe what the web is but this sums it up perfectly… and hysterically.
The Royal College of Art’s graduate show has opened, and this year, the show-stopper was a plug. Min-Kyu Choi impressed every passer by with his neat, apparently market-ready plug that folds down to the width of an Apple MacBook Air. “The MacBook Air is the world’s thinnest laptop ever. However, here in the UK, we still use the world’s biggest three-pin plug,” says Choi.
Choi’s plug is just 10mm wide when it is folded. To unfold it, the two live pins swivel 90 degrees, and the plastic surround folds back around the pins so the face of the plug looks the same as a standard UK plug. The idea produced a spin off, too. Choi created a multi-plug adaptor, a compact standard plug sized unit with space for three folded plugs to slot in, as well as one that charges USB devices.
It’s so plausible and so obvious a product that it should produce a few red faces; how many more years were we going to attach our palm sized mobiles and wafer thin laptops to an object that’s barely been touched since its first design in 1946? Choi picked an everyday product that most other designers find too mundane to dabble with and drastically improved it - exactly the kind of thinking that we should be celebrating right now. [Story and more shots]Apple should hire this fucker.
