Back in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are, boy etc. Moscow is in the USSR right? I hope so but it's hard to follow cuz in this ever changing world in which we live, makes you give in and cry, etc. again.

We just wanted to share a link and a thank you to Bob 'n' Bee, an indie fashion blog based in Moscow. We all know they have a fine taste in hats and vodka, but obviously they've been taking directions from our photo shoot last winter.
Cue yesterday when we all hooked up at a rainy beer festival, expecting someone else to have been in contact with our Russian friends (jeez, i hope my geography is on target), but apparently this is literally the echoes of summer sounding... Nice work everyone (well no one really).


SUMMERJUNK Launch and TRUCK Music Festival

5 things to do / watch / talk about this weekend

1. Wear head to toe leather (apparently). This is something we've been reading about and we approve. But only if you're part of a French electronic duo (helmets optional), not Halle Berry in Catwoman.

2. Discover the music of Ratatat. If you can tell us of a more innovative band of the last 10 years then we're listening. Their debut 'Ratatat' is worth checking just for the uber stylish cover and even the song titles are awesome. Germany To Germany is our favourite.

3. SATC 2. But limit the talking to how you hate it, are being forced to go see it, or the ever increasing length of Sarah Jessica Parkers infamous 'foot face'.

4. You Have Been Watching, Channel 4's best piece of programming since err.. well Newswipe? Charlie Brooker is the most miserable man this side of Salford Lads Club circa 1985, and there's nothing better than wallowing in someone else's glum shoes

5. Come visit us at the Northampton Beer Festival in Delapre Abbey. Plus if you like hunting for treasure check out our webstore, cuz there's a sneaky 25% discount voucher to be found. So what if the weather's supposed to be rubbish? It's better than staying and dying a little bit inside (that may be a bit over the top but whatever).

We love Ryan Jarman

Ok, so the man who proclaimed 'the mainstream is death' (or something like that) might now be married to Kate Nash but we're going to have to get past that, because today we're giving our Summerjunk mini-salute to Ryan Jarman and his blood soaked style.

We've been listening to Ignore The Ignorant for a few months in the office now, and we weren't convinced it was The Cribs best at first (and probably still aren't) but it's slowly wormed it's noise-pop Wakefield way into our heads. Ryan might not be smashing his face up on quite as many microphones as he used to, but he still knows how to wear a good t-shirt and this is what we like to see. Does every band have to dress like self-assuming wankers? Well no, obviously not.

We could procrastinate in detail about his and Ms Nash's kooky celebrity-couple style, but we'd rather share a bloody nice picture and leave it at that.
