“The new 7th issue of Sahtel magazine featured an exclusive interview with MASH members Garret Chow and Jonathan Burkett. Hereby we’re publishing the original english version of the text along with some of the photos over our website. The interview is made by Lily Lin. Enjoy.”

The MASH crew definitely have a lot to answer for. On my last trip to Tokyo, the cities infamous BNE smothering was pretty much over taken by MASH paraphernalia. When I dropped in to WBASE, I was met with a lot of young Tokyo hipsters and gaijins riding some seriously hot customs. I’ve posted the shots up elsewhere on this blog, but the fixie epedemic is definitely in full force with the MASH massive on the fore front.

A great read and some insight into the MASH lifestyle, not to mention lots of excellent photography. All these shots of people in the summer time is getting me anxious.

Enjoy the article.

He might not be giving it up for Jah anymore, but this video sure as hell makes Jesus Christ look great.

 I found this odd piece of installation art near grilled burger on Brunswick street and thought you all might get a kick out of it. A solid cement mobile phone with the message ‘I miss You’. It can only mean 2 things, this phone model is so old that it finally turned to stone or there is man made from cement who’s lost his mobile.

Since the debut of his short movie, Blu’s been keeping his good self nice and busy with a series of pieces around Europe, these are taken from his blog.

To me this is the epitome of street art, large as physically possible, commentary that falls under the category of “pisstake”  instead of “political”, unique style with a strong emphasis on interacting with the environment. Putting the check list away the main point is that its really mad, so enjoy.

Douglas Haddow posted an essay on the Ad Buster site, dramatically titled : Hipsters : The Dead End of Western Civilization. He seems to be making the point that commercially packaged counter culture for middle class kids is something new, it ain’t. Outside of that and the cranky overtones its a summary of the cliches and foibles of these wacky kids is causing some amount of controversy on both sides of the fence and is worth reading.
