Sunday Styles

COLD WAR ROCK Can you believe that this excellent box set even exists? Atomic Platters: Cold War Music from the Golden Age of Homeland Security. Johnny Cash civil defense spots, songs about uranium and Krushchev. It's almost too good to be true.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MOOM, ALICE?
Coudal Partners, the chicago based design firm, has developed the Museum of Online Musuems. Huh? This is a collection of the wonderful things in museums, especially the cool factor of current shows - which send you around the web to say, a collection of Blue Note album covers, a collection of vintage American Steel and Coal Advertising, or maybe even Matchbox cars of the 1970's.

SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES RIPOFF SECTION
Since we don't have a great paper on Sunday's in this country, we read papers that do. The New York Times Sunday is utter joy. And yes, that is smug. Who knew that Matt Pond PA didn't even live in Philadelphia or Pennsylvannia at all, but in New York (Matt Pond). We like where chess is going with thier new focus on cute chess girls. Smart and Sexy, check mate. And because we love suits so much, learning about a new Wall St. blog, Under the Counter, is way cool.

REFINERY 29 ETC.
This guide to New York's great shops is a very interesting site. As if to confirm the stink of coolness, the site has a handy guide to trendy shops in Paris this week as they explore the Marais area. Speaking of cool, Etsy.com is a beta site for buying and selling handmade things, Ebay style.

WORTH WATCHING There are some great things to watch this weekend. For starters director Neill Blomkamp's Alive in Joburg short is worth the download. He directed the Citreon Transformer ad you've probably all seen. This time it's sort of a creepy Alien Nation takes over South Africa kind of thing. (Via Drawn! who says this is "what War of the Worlds should have been like."). And we can't stop watching the Sony Bravia commercial, that News Today reminds us to watch again. So we did. And now there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff, which is amazing. Oh, and if you can bear to watch it Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is an insane parody of Star Trek that Screenhead describes like this: "Star Wreck may be a fan film, but it could well be the Citizen Kane of fan films… well, if Orson Wells was funny, and from Finland."
