The Real Pirate Radio: Music's Eternal Influencer

I finally watched this movie the other night on HBO and wanted to research it further. The back story is always better than the movie about, well, Pirate Radio. If this interests you, you'll also enjoy the links below.

Designer Michel Berandi

Michel Berandi and his clothes are a thing of beauty. And I like the influences that he's cited in the following interview.

What are some key experiences in your life that had shaped your point of view as a designer?

The Damned’s gig in London circa 1978/79. My first screening of Alejandro’s Jodorosky’s The Holy Mountain and Luis Bunuel’s Belle de Jour. Those provided compelling wallpaper for the mind, but my deepest key experiences are mostly literary.

Aldous Huxsley for precision, Allen Ginsberg for flow, William Blake for beauty, Ed Sanders for smartness & coolness, Anthony Burgess for linguistic joy, Fredrich Nietzsche for historical vision and Frank Zappa for weirdness. Issac Asimov and the Marquis de Sade remain perhaps my favorites overall. Read More »

SNIPPETS

You already know that here on Easy Bake Coven if I mention crafts, it's going to be alternative crafts I've pulled from my coolasshit folder.

Cut Out & Keep is an online magazine and community where you can make and share step-by-step craft tutorials. You can share your projects or get inspired with other crafty supastars.

But what I like best about this crafty community is SNIPPETS, their online magazine, which is definitely NOT your usual square-john craftiness happening here.

The last issue was dedicated to Day Of The Dead, and an interview with the talented Melora from chamber-rock band Rasputina, interviews with the Crafty Chica, Toni Carr, Baking With Medusa and Adrienne King (from the Friday 13th movies). Also a DIY altar, recycled milk-jug skeleton, house monsters and horro-cupcakes.
