Abandoned Places

Nothing makes a writer’s fingers itch more than a white wall, or even better, a whole building of white walls, or even better, a whole beach resort/abandoned submarine base/village of unwritten walls and basically the freedom to do what you want. TheCoolist compiled a short list of their 10 favourite “Abandoned Places”. There’s some really cool places that I wish I could visit sometime, but till then I’ll have to make do with drooling over photos of urban decay :)

The structures on the picture above are forts built by the British in World War II, to defend themselves from air attacks. The micro-nation of Sealand, the one that the Pirate Bay said it wanted to buy some time ago, is originally one of these platforms.

Gorillaz Stylo, Bruce Willis!

Gorillaz’s “Official Youtube Premiere” of the videoclip for Stylo, from their new album (drops March 8th, it’s already on the internet) “Plastic Beach”. I love it! The clip has such a Tarantinoesque feel to it I was immediately reminded of Death Proof. I’ve taken the liberty of including a cool Death Proof poster after the jump. Although Death Proof doesnt have Bruce Willis in it, an actor Tarantino loves to work with, this videoclip does! Track features Mos Def and Bobby Womack. (more…)

David Maisel Sees All

.. from the window of his plan/helicopter/rocket or a really really tall and portable building. Anyway. These aerial photographs by David Maisel are supercool. They’re so beautiful one would almost not recognise them as aerials if you didn’t know better. But not only do they look pretty, they are also themed around human intervention with nature and the funny habit we have of destroying things we love. Like nature and fresh air. Check out the post on 2fotos.blogspot.com where I originally found these photos, or the guy’s website, for dozens upon dozens more, or hit the jump for three of my other favourites :) (more…)

OMG, Laser Guns!

Pew pew pew!
