Kimberly Stewart/Bondage Fairies/Everything bad is good for you
Kimberly Stewart
i was backstage at a festival recently and had the pleasure of seeing Kimberley Stewart in close up. She was hanging around in a large group of liggers next to me when Mick Rock sidled up to her extoling the virtures of her father. He started reminiscing about when he photographed Rod alongside Iggy Pop and David Bowie and took out a tiny camera and took a few casual photos of Kimberly while he was at it, I thing she was well aware that this was all he really wanted.
Stewart is said to be following her fathers' footsteps and pursuing a music career, but unlike other wannabes she does actually play the violin and piano. She was approached by a producer in 2005, and after doing some test-runs in a studio has since been taking singing lessons. Kimberly believes music is in her blood, and hopes to have an album complete by mid-2007.
She has a tattoo that reads "Daddy's Little Girl Loves Disco" so maybe thats an indication of what any future music may sound like.
Bondage Fairies
With their insect like anti smog cycling masks and their 8 bit punk sound, Bondage fairies are set to mess with your mind. The two Stockholm musicians are Elvis Creep and Deus Deceptor who make music with the help of loud guitars and an Amstrad 6128 computer. Sounding like Hefener challenging The Pixies to a 24 hour Marios Bros marathon session, this is music to melt your Ipod.
Check out numerous samples at their website here including demos and songs from their debut album 'What you didn't know when you hired me'
As their website states 'Bondage Fairies play anytime anywhere as long as you support their habits. Beer, food and CA$H'
MP3: Bondage Fairies - Pink Eye Paranoia
Steven Johnson - Everything Bad is Good for You
Worried about how much time you spend playing video games? watching Tv? Feel it's rotting your brain. Fear not, Steven Johnson tells us it isn't. In fact todays popular culture is actually making us smarter. His concept flies in the face of commonly peheld values about the nature of a postmodern society that is detremental to us. Johnson refutes all with his 'sleeper curve ' argument wherby he states that today's pop culture consumer is required to do more 'cognitive work' (read that as 'thinking') assessing long term strategies in video games, navigating new viusual environments on the internet and that Junk Tv actually requires more work from our brains than we like to think.
