J. Eygenraam - Cheap Talk
We’ve just been talking through the recent tracks we’ve been sent, what we liked and disliked and both agreed on liking J. Eygenraam’s Cheap Talk track, from the album of the same name. Playing in Edmonton at Wunderbar on June 8th.
Thank you for all the submissions, please keep them coming in.
Alexis Madrigal - The Fake Magazines Used in Blade Runner Are Still Futuristic, Awesome
Basic Googling various combinations of Blade Runner and magazines with some other keywords yielded nothing. So, I took the image of Dorgon Magazine and ran it through Google Images to see if it had shown up anywhere else with more information attached. It had indeed been posted a few times around the web including at a site for Manahan Design, where they were presented as custom Kindle screensavers for jailbroken devices. But down at the bottom of that site, there was a little inscription: “Much credit goes to Kevin From the Propsummit forums for his amazingly made high-res reproductions of the magazine covers seen in various locations in Blade Runner,” we read. Who is this mysterious, Kevin? And what is Propsummit? And are these covers actually *recreations* by someone who looked at the magazines in the film and somehow designed from anew from scratch? Are these completely new design fiction objects modeled on old design fiction objects for a movie that came out 30 years ago?
