How to Start Your Own Club

December 24th 2007 07:31
So, you want to go out to a club but there’s a problem – you’re too young/adverse to dickheads/not into the scene of local clubs/picky etc. So what to do?

Why not make your own? After all, isn’t a night at a club a bit like a party at someone else’s house? But with more dickheads?

First thing you need is a location. A club after all, is a word denoting a place. Your house will work if you can do a good enough job of making it feel like a confined space.

Second thing you will need is a vibe. Sleazy? Angry? Chilled out? Psyched out? Trippy? There are a lot of things you can do to get the vibe you want, including use of props, colour and music.
Third thing you will need is ‘doing’. People need to be occupied. Whether it is drinking, computer games or playing cards that if your poison, you need to keep your people occupied.

Fourth and final thing you need is people – and the you’ve got it! Your own club!

Robot Cuff Links

I love cuff links. They are the absolute of awesome. Even better are these lovely specimens. Not only are they robots, but their little heads and arms jiggle around in a way that would warm the heart of the coldest scrooge.

Mix Tapes!

December 17th 2007 06:44
Tapes


The art of the mix tape has been much spoken about in terms of great nostalgia. And rightly so. I’m one of those many who would spend a good deal of time, sitting by the radio waiting for something worthy of my latest tape.

Originally a straightforward process, my mix tapes began to move towards being pure works of art – Holding down the record button halfway would allow you to effectively record half new stuff half old, like a fade out effect. I interspersed half songs with other songs, vocal snippets and miscellaneous sound. It was an imperfect art, and one that represented something about the very time and place I was when I weak making them.

I don’t make mix tapes any more. For one thing my tape player broke and I never bought another. For a second thing, I have no desire to relive the glory days of the Mix tape. They belong to that other world, a world where my roof was covered in glow in the dark stars, my dog was a Dalmatian and my carpet had blots of plasticine in it. John Howard was copping flack for the GST, Clinton was America’s President and East Timor was the major conflict.

I have never discarded my tapes though, instead am keeping them until the day I find a way to convert the whole thing to MP3. The old meets the new as well it should. Itunes, Limewire and LastFM are the present, and it would be foolish to wait until they are gone to recognize this, with the sad sigh of boring old nostalgia.

Like the Orgazmatron, these Angle Peekers develop their Uberistic awesomosity from their use of conventional technology to be really really fun

Orgasmatron

December 6th 2007 13:43
When one looks at the Orgasmatron, one becomes aware that it makes some fairly intence claims. Like Claims of untellable joy and ecstasy, simply from using it. Claims that have been made by pretty much every product that ever existed. But in this case... are they true?

Two things are interesting about the Orgasmatron. Apparently Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson, along with a host of other slightly famous people have one. Actually I don't particularly care, but I do realise the great power of name dropping. All hail SEO

Safety Pin Vest

December 5th 2007 04:28
Continuing the theme of unconventionality, it's worth looking at the kinds of materials popularly used to make clothing.

The thing is, there is rarely any reson that we should be limited in our choice of material. One Material I have experimented with personally - Safety Pins. Here are some images

Five Uncommon Fasion Decisions

December 4th 2007 15:33
Conventionality is the enemy of Absolutiative Awesmomosity. So seriously - why be Conventional in your fashion? Presented here are some of the fashion roads less traveled - some of the things that conventional wisdom (and significant others) say no to, but to whom history will say yes yes yes.

Here we have normal Dressed man. How Boring. Through this article we will track our hero from this, to a new metamorphosis, as he learns to judo chop his way out of a conformist chrysalis.

Voice Changers are AWESOME

THIS IS PART OF MY ADSENSE ADVENTURE.

I bought myself a Voice Changer. I've seen them around a lot and have simply fallen in love with one purple specimen. It provides disproportionate joy to my life
