The Cartoonist

Shamelessly Stolen. Now where have I heard that guitar riff (Dandy Warhols, Bohemian, MP3, 1.5MB) before (Ton, Steine, Scherben, Keine Macht für Niemand, MP3, 4.5MB)? Thanks to my mate and copywriter Paul, who found out in the first place. Well, he's Irish. 11:04:27 PM     |

Unbelievable. Good gracious. This must be art. A Bruce Lee Paper Doll. 8:29:58 PM     |

And Bauhaus. Bela Lugosi's Dead [MP3, 8.7MB]. 8:18:52 PM     |

Primary Colours. De Stijl. Edited by Theo van Doesburg, Leiden, 1917-1932. 8 Volumes (90 numbers). Via the incredible things. 8:07:21 PM     |

Pictures don't lie. Here's the proof: Sir Majo, handing over the golden Kohlrabi to yours truly, The Cartoonist, after a night out at The Gentleman's Club in Pall Mall. Alright, I've made it up. The Kohlrabi is not a golden one, it's an ordinary German one and comes in a dull green colour. We did not meet up at any Club at all, but went to an Essex Pub instead. Anyway, it was a really nice night out. Thanks for the Kohlrabi! To answer a burning question: the T-Shirt is a present from my mate Wolfgang. 10:08:22 PM     |

Even more Logos. Football. Everything. Everybody. Every team worldwide. All as Illustrator EPS files. Fab. Lots of thanks to Armin M. 9:48:04 PM     |

Ongoing. The Great Grand Old Fart MP3 Competition. First there's Horst, who found an old Engelbert Humperdinck Hit from 1967. Fab, but be aware that his server is going to be reconfigured tomorrow, so this might be a dead link. Only on Thursday though. Rest of the week is ok. And I really wasn't aware that thingsmagazine has joined in. Right from there a fabulous link to many, many, many Siouxsie/Banshees/Creatures MP3s. Another fab. And finally, I'm back to Glam: here's Suzie Quatro with I wanna be your man. Not quite sure what Schockwellenreiter's doing, his server is always down... ;-) Update: Gary has joined too: an interview with Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia. 10:41:32 PM     |

Nurses. A gallery of nursing postcards. Via Exclamation Mark, who has collected even more nurse links. 7:53:12 AM     |

Only in England. Those Royal Security Breaches... 7:40:26 AM     |

Oxygen Supply. A collection of Flight & Space Helmets. And here are two Flight-Tested Space Helmets You can Make Yourself. 7:32:47 AM     |

It's all about Communication. Vice Cards. Interesting. Via BoingBoing. Vice cards are the means by which London prostitutes advertise their services. They have become as ubiquitous a symbol of this city as the red telephone boxes in which they are found. Step in to any central London call box and you will see up to 80 cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged in luxury apartments, fully-equipped chambers or the privacy of your own hotel room. 7:08:01 AM     |

Swing & Jazz & Rock & Roll. This comes fresh from the pages of the Moscow Swing Dance Society: Music. Lots. You won't regret it. Be-Bop-A-LuLa! 9:30:43 PM     |

That Horrible, Horrible Noise. Sounds from the dentist's surgery, all as MP3s. How nice. Via koewi. 12:27:28 PM     |

Autobahn. What else? Brian's Complete Guide to Getting Around in Germany. Via Ronsens. The Germans are extremely adept at getting people (and things) efficiently from Point A to Point B and it shows. Its world-class transportation system is one of the most admirable things about the country. The road, rail, and air systems are all extensive and well-maintained. Public transportation in cities is also remarkable. 12:20:49 PM     |

Nature's Great Masterpiece. The Elephant. 10:22:54 AM     |

I've won! A free copy of Expression Engine, that is. Expect a complete move of this weblog in the not too distant future... 8:03:49 AM     |

Thank You for the Music. Horst of The Aardvark speaks has joined The Old Fart MP3 Competition with something very sweet. 7:54:55 AM     |
