Fela Anikulapo Kuti
..I hold death in my pouch - I cannot die..
I have recently become quite obsessive with a Nigerian musician and human rights activist called Fela Kuti. After watching 'beware of Mr Baker' a documentary on Ginger Baker a crazy English drummer best known for his work with 'Cream' in a stage of Ginger Bakers life he runs away to Nigera to learn about African drumming which is where he meets Fela Kuti and in turn is my introduction to Fela Kuti.
Fela Kuti was known for having 27 wifes which he named his queens and they were normally performers/dancers for his band. I was equally inspired by these woman as Fela himself.
There make up is remarkable.

Eric Koston
..This Is Eric Koston..
Disillusion magazine pays tribute to the legendary street skateboarder. Although a little cheesy at times this is beautifully filmed warming the cockles of my heart.

Skate Park House
.. Level Architects - Tokyo , Shibuya, Sendabaya, Japan..
Introducing the Skate Park House, when it comes to architecture I don't know much about it but when I saw this house I immediately fell in love with it, I mean it has a bowl and a piano concert room overlooking each other but not just that I love the way it has the industrial feel matched with pretty almost country house doors and cupboards
bare brick work and plain cement colored walls but it works, this house obviously hasn't been fully moved into yet so maybe the walls will get painted.
