Local Shindigs!

Urbanscapes is organised by KLue and is the first and only all-day “user-generated” creative arts festival. Urbanscapes aims to bring together communities and participants from the fields of music, arts, lifestyle, film under a single banner to showcase the best of the local scene. Previous Urbanscapes events took place in 2002 (Grappa Soho) and 2004 (KL Sentral). Urbanscapes 2008 will feature involvement from KLue's sister publications Junk and Tongue In Chic. Junk will be hosting the music stages, while Tongue In Chic will be bringing some colour and fashion flair to the marketplace.



The Fairly Current Show, a weekly Internet TV programme focusing on current and quirky affairs in Malaysia. Their very first guest is landscape architect Ng Sek San, who speaks about resident actions to stop the chopping down of 40 year-old angsana trees in Bangsar. Upcoming guests include Adrian Yap, Shanon Shah, Jacqueline Ann Surin, Pete Teo and Yasmin Ahmad.

Enjoy and pass around to your friends.



The Weekend, an exciting new site that features independent Malaysian musicians has just come online. Come see our songsters in action through interview and exclusive performance sessions. You can catch that talented troubadour, Azmyl Yunor, in the first session out 27 July at www.the-wknd.com (and soon on PopTeeVee too!). The site will later evolve to accommodate merchandising (songs, t-shirts, stuff like that ya know) and other cool bits and bobs.

Look for them at urbanscapes also!

Giggles with Stavros and Mr Potato

I present to you, Stavros, the creator of position art. Stavros is the brainchild of Nokia's new N90 phones using GPRS systems to make 'art'. Overall a well design website (if only it wasn't in full flash), good solid idea and Stavros with his position art might just leave you giggling like a high school girl.



Came across this ad sometime ago on kennysia's blog, have a watch here. A gentle reminder that our spicy tomyam neighbours at the north are still pretty ingenius at making ads.
