You may have read his book 'The Young and the Banging', a compilation of the next generation from which he is an integral part, if you haven't you've probably seen his work with Nike without even knowing it. Heron sent us this recipe, saying Spaghetti Bolognese is his favorite pasta dish hands down.

It’s a rough time out there for the music industry. You need to be offering something truly unique and covetable in order to sell music. With the download capabilities proliferating everywhere, why does anyone need to actually purchase a tangible physical recording, either in CD or Vinyl format? This is something that Max Mackee and his partners considered carefully before starting their label blackmaps. There needs to be a package. An attractive object or just something that begs to be owned as well as great music.

I caught up with Tim Cowen about all things to do with The Horrors, from their roots, the internet, to a recent project with Beck's on the Green Box Project initiative.

Their music is impossible to describe without somehow killing the magic and intent but is making huge waves in the music and arts community. The pair also have a few sister projects, the first is Sum Ink Club, a weekly collaborative drawing society, and Glaciers of Nice, a small press and internet community. Roya Azardi caught up with Sarah Rara for a chat.
