!! OMG, want to party inside a giant homosexual disco sheep? !!
Or, to be more precise, want to party inside a Big-Ass Amazingly Awesome Homosexual Sheep (a.k.a. BAAAHS) at the Burning Man Festival, that annual radical self-expression piss-up that invades Nevada's Black Rock Desert at the end of August?
Well, it turns out you possibly can thanks to a group of intrepid San Francisco queens who have cooked up a plan to transform a school bus into a BAAAHS: a two-storey, 40-foot long geodesic dome that will be "part mutant vehicle, part penetrable sculpture, part socio-political statement, and part gay disco." And all sheep.
To realize this ovis oasis, they are attempting to raise $10,000 via Kickstarter and appear to be well on their way to attaining that goal.
Why are they doing this? As is explained in the below Kickstarter video, the idea behind the BAAAHs is to bust open the insular world of gay "burners" by inviting everyone to enter a giant fluffy white sheep's anus loaded DJs, dancers and performers booked by Honey Soundsystem's Jacob Sperber.
And here are the men behind the BAAAHS:

!! OMG, Evasion Persuasion: Ms. Lauryn Hill's 'Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)' !!
Last week we got a musical chubby at the news that Ms. Lauryn Hill might be releasing new material and she just went ahead and served us up some serious 'don't even mess me about Uncle Samuel' lyrical smorgesBourguignon with her track 'Neurotic Society'.
After having released the track Ms. Hill -once again- took to tumblr to announce "Here is a link to a piece that I was 'required' to release immediately" -presumably- hence the additional 'Compulsory Mix' tag, who's lyrics become even more voluminous from within the confines of imprisonment from that same "economic paradigm" Lauryn previously called out against:
"More money, less equality...hypocritics on salary...contagious social gluttony Quiet victims with no defense portrayed over dollars and cents... Don't trust it, this cosmology is busted"

Now that '..Drag Race' has reached the finish line, we are all gasping for a sip of tea, and these couple of bitches are brewing a steaming pot of loose leaf EARL GAY:
Kevin sent me this a couple of days back with the heading 'Dynasty Shade Fest', which I think about sums it all up, these bitches are throwing the best kind of shade, that is rich privileged fur-clad lady shady shade, apart from the other best type of shade which is LAMP-SHADE, of which there are none in this scene, just lots of well tended to indoor tropical plant shades.

!! OMG, Xena Warrior Princesses: Ukraine's Asgarda Girls !!
In 1904 American psychologist G. Stanley Hall said "Adolescence is a new birth".
Based on the book of the same name by punk author Jon Savage, Matt Wolf's documentary 'Teenagers' premiered at Tribeca film festival last week. It explores the lesser-known teenage subcultures that have emerged since the beginning of the 20th century, the term 'teenager' itself only cropping up since the WW2.
Dazed asked Wolf to list his 5 favourite teen tribes, top of the list being Ukraine's Asgarda Girls.
Described as "Riot grrrls of the Amazon variety" these 150 female students live together in the Carpathian Mountains where look to revive the tribal traditions of the Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology. They train under former Soviet karate master Volodymyr Stepanovytch and practice life skills and sciences as empowered women free from the oppression of men.
Follow the jump to see photographs of the Asgarda Girls...I totes want to be one too, it's like the Spice Girls, but with a sickles and nunchucks instead of a colour-coordinated sparkly microphones!
[[OMG there's more! JUMP IN and read the rest]]

!! OMG, golden tower: L'Uritonnoir by Les Ekovores !!
...and from one front bum fluid to another: L'Uritonnoir is a cross between a urinal ("urinoir") and a funnel ("entonnoir").
The urinal funnel comes in either flat-pack polypropylene or stainless steel and is simply pushed in and strapped on to a straw bale, where, once peeped on the bail starts to decompose from the inside.
Les Ekovores suggest the straw bail urinal can then be used horticulturally, by local farmers or as a planter itself the following year.
Follow the jump for more photos plus diagrams explaining the process of installation and decomposition. Production starts in June and L'Uritonnoir will debut at French festival Hellfest this year.
Let's just hope nobody takes acid and decides to take a crap in it!

!! OMG, PROFILE PICS: 'Finding Vivian Maier' !!
In 2007, historical hobbyist, John Maloof bought a box of 'amateur' film negatives for $380 from the auction house across the road from his place.
It held 100'000 negatives, 700 rolls of undeveloped colour film as well as reels of 8mm and 16mm movie film.
John traced this film treasure chest back to one late Vivian Maier who worked as a children's nanny in New York and Chicago in the '50s and '60s.
Through his upcoming film 'Finding Vivian Maier' [trailer after the jump] John attempts to discover the woman behind these, now world famous and sought after street photographs, through talking to old friends, employers and the children she looked after at the time the photographs were taken.
It appears Maier was a very private person who simply loved composing photographs of what she saw, with even her best friends unbeknown to her 'hobby'. In this tone it is her self portraits that I find to be most engaging [a collection of which you can see after the jump]; captured in the reflections of discarded mirrors, shop windows, and various interiors, there is a 'knowing' in Maier's expressions, which hints at a sneakiness as to the private catalog she is creating, or she knows that Facebook is coming and so she's dedicated her time to taking the CUTEST PROFILE PIC, oooooor she always JUST FARTED when she takes her selfie!

!! OMG, first off...: 'Sofia The First' will make you 'funny' !!
You may thing that Sofia is a little barch, you may think she's a total fag hag or like me you might just be totes jealous of her HOT CHIC KNEE-LENGTH VIOLET NUMBERS of which she has many [which then convinces me she is a little baarch and a total fag hag].
I think I'd much rather buy my son a 'Sabrina the Teenage Bitch' dvd because at least then he'd have fierce powers and a cute talking cat to aspire to, but I was touched by the middle finger flipping of the old [probably ex-Disney Princess] granny who bought Sam a 'Sofia The First' dvd last Friday in Walfart Walmart.

!! OMG, sounding good in a Buffalo Stance: Neneh Cherry & Afrika Baby Bam's 'Nina' !!
Neneh Cherry is communing with all kinds of motherland in this techy spoken word track with Jungle Brother Afrika Baby Bam.
Produced by Kieran 'Four tet' Hebden, the lyrics speak of freedom from social constraints and geographical placement. Hebden and Cherry are set to collaborate on a more substantial project which we can hopefully Buffalo Prance to in the not-so-distant future.
"she's sounding good today...she sounding good in every way"

!! OMG, SHAKE YOUR HABITUAL ASS: The Knife's 'STH' interview !!
Beginning with a mesmeric swingy swing and the footage taken from their album teaser from last December, The Knife's album 'interview' expands upon this very album teaser blurb and their later released album manifesto [also after the jump], questioning systems of fame and school institutions that they see as failed and championing those systems [the ecosystem, the soundsystem] which they still believe can instil change.
Scanning through relatively mundane images [people dancing, birds feeding, doorways and windows, railings and walls], Olof and Karin narrate a new process-heavy-shake-up of old habits:
"we approached each other...through the language of others...and we play...and we played and we played and we played...to let go of what we already knew about music and explore what we didn't know...letting go...we want to question the knife"
"we used homemade instruments, or played traditional instruments in non-traditional ways and tried to find non-tradional ways of creating traditional sounds...making a bedspring sound like a voice, or a voice sound like a bedspring"
They discuss protest songs [against monarchy and the nuclear family] and the power of safety in collectivism. They use the "commercial homogenisation and extreme hierarchical conservatism" of the music industry as a metaphor for societal shifts in Europe, and set aside their previously worn masks which questioned ideas of "fake tanning" fame and identity, but then became commercial institutions in themselves:
"I think there are no real 'us', behind the masks there are other masks"
I've popped the video after the jump due to some non-nuclear titty sucking near the end so jump in and SHAKE YOUR HABITUAL ASS !
"it's time to move...to fall...to fly"
