Formless Content

Formless Content can be reflowed into different formats and not lose any intrinsic meaning. It’s content divorced from layout. Most novels and works of non-fiction are Formless.

Western Hospitality by Club 8

Western Hospitality by Club 8
A gift arrived from Club 8, via Labrador Records, in my Inbox this morning. You can listen to the track by clicking on the headline above.

From Labrador:

“Western hospitality” is taken from the upcoming album “The People’s Record” due to be released on May 12th in Europe and on May 18th in North America.

The band has travelled to Brazil for inspiration, bought records made in the 70s in Western Africa, used a percussion player from Cuba and hooked up with producer Jari Haapalainen (The Concretes, Camera Obscura, Ed Harcourt). The result is a unique mix of Swedish pop melodies and African rhythms.

Email Signatures

Email signatures are so easy to do well, that it’s really a shame how often they’re done poorly. Many people want their signature to reflect their personality, provide pertinent information and more, but they can easily go overboard.
