Exit Through The Gift Shop
This new Banksy street art film is starting to open across the country. It’s already out in NY, LA, & SF, and comes to other major cities next week. I’m definitely going to check it out in Philly. There’s a bit of controversy buzzing that some of the footage is staged, but that should only make it more interesting.

Peter Steele R.I.P.
I can’t claim to be the hugest Type-O-Negative fan on earth, but musical tastes aside, I have to at least respect a guy who made it on Beavis & Butthead, the Jerry Springer Show, and even posed for Playgirl in his lifetime. That right there is more than the rest of us will ever do. RIP dude.
Fairdale
There’s a new online zine in town called Fairdale, brought to you by the folks at Odyssey and masterminded by Taj and Roscoe.
There’s already a handful of interesting posts. I personally enjoyed Taj’s take on packaging design. Fairdale is definitely worth adding to your daily internet rounds.

Yo, Sick!
Prashant Gopal is a very talented dude out of Ottawa, Canada. In addition to running Capital BMX for many years, he also produces Yo, Sick zine. Prashant was kind enough to send copies Yo, Sick our way and they are all fun reads.
If you want to get your own copy, get in touch with Prashant over at Capital BMX. He sends out Yo, Sick for free, but trades for zines and other cool things are always welcome. Make sure you hit up www.capitalbmx.net for some lo-fi and hi-fi awesomeness.
