I have some of the coolest nerdiest friends ever. How great is that?! The Versal ß on a badge? With its unicode code? This will be killer for some and a big WTF for most. Beautiful.

Just for fun (and for testing Flickrs video encoding capabilities): The Fashion performing Like Knives at Amp, Münster. Here are some photos.

Turns out it was a nice gig but nothing to write home about. Sometimes it felt like they could have used a fourth (or fifth) guy to play all the quirky synthie sounds. It was a bit flat at times, but still a cool show. More pictures follow.

I’ll be out tonight to see These New Puritans and I’m really anxious. They’re in my personal top spot for this years best album, mostly for their complex, harsh sound. I’ll take my camera, so expect some photos of the fine mess that’s going to go down at Grüner Jäger tonight. Yeah.

If you happen to be in Münster tonight: Special DJ Set by Alarmstufe Ocker at Amp. Go check them out. They’re lovely.

Why have magazine ads ever stopped to look so beautiful? This one is amazing too (and very mod). And there’s a whole bunch more here.
