KRAFTWERK | Artwork, Music, Thinking
This is a collection of artwork & photos from one of my all time favourite bands, Kraftwerk. There are finds from gigs and Japanese versions of their albums and I've also tracked down some real treats on YouTube, including Kraftwerk on Italian RAI TV in 1981 where Ralf sings in Italian - a rare colour version of Roger Mainwood's 1979 trippy animation for Autobahn in 2 parts - a fantastic Tomorrow's World clip of Kraftwerk's Robots in action dated from 1991 (so people think in the video comments) - Kraftwerk Pocket Calculator played on a Bee Gees Rhythm Machine which is what Ralf Hutter used live, and I urge you to watch the excellent Kraftwerk documentary, made by Malik Bendjelloul for Swedish TV's Pop i fokus in 2001 which has interviews with Karl Bartos, Wolfgang Flur, Bjork, Moby, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Peter Saville - divided into 3 parts. Enjoy...

For the Love of Rave ☺ A Collection of 80's & 90's Flyers
Whilst not being the embodiment of elegant design, these flyers capture the frenzied spirit of Acid-House & Rave, the cultural movement of the 90's. Best enjoyed listening to the AGT Rave Cru - BLOC 2011 Promo Mix here: http://soundcloud.com/agtravecru/agt-rave-cru-bloc-2011-promo-mix#

The Flyest of Flyers | NYC Hip-Hop Scene 70's & 80's
Best experienced with my accompanying NYC Hip-Hop playlist on Spotify, enjoy...
via scribd.com
"Stumbled upon an awesome collection of party flyers from the early days (late 70's early 80's) of the NYC Hip Hop scene. Truly some gems in here." Posted on Scribd by David Halloran
“Most of the Old School Party Flyers were Designed By Buddy Esquire and Phase 2. Phase 2 was a real big Aerosol Artist who wrote on a lot of the NYC Trains who also did a majority of the Party Flyers back then. Buddy Esquire was a regular Artist who did a lot of party Flyers as well. These Cats Worked on big Art tables and had all the tools to make these Flyers by hand including those Rub on Letters, wax Machines, exacto knives, Graph Paper and many other tools that are extinct today in the modern artwork world.” dustykid post on soulstrut.com
Play Arcade Classic BURGERTIME now!
"While making burgers, Peter Pepper must deal with three enemies: Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg."
And so it begins, one of the most addictive arcade games ever in my opinion...I don't know how many hours I've given over to this game. Each new game starts with the same hope, maybe this time I'll get past level 4, maybe this time I'll accrue so much defensive pepper that those pesky pickles won't get me (oh, and don't get me started on that evil egg!!!). Anyway, I thought I'd share the love with you when I discovered I could embed the Flash game emulator by Robb Briggs into this blog page - oh joy! Also, check out these flyers and screens I've found of a few versions of the game.
Here's the stats from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BurgerTime

Illustrating the Mind > The Design of Psychology Book Covers
How would you illustrate matters concerning the mind? Well most of these Pelican and Penguin book covers use circles in some form as the shape of choice, add to that a few crazy squares, an ink blot and the occasional photo. The indistinct nature of the content allows rather graphic, abstract forms to occur - me likey. This set is also viewable in my Flickr gallery 'Illustrating the mind > Psychology Book Covers' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathykavan/galleries/72157625545004808/
