VIVIAN MAIER – HER DISCOVERED COLLECTION
A guy buys a box of negatives from an auction in Chicago. He hopes it would help with his research on a book he was writing about his neighbourhood…
After getting a few developed he soon realises he has stumbled upon one of the most talented mid century street art photographers ever…
John Maloof is now in the process of scanning and digitalising her work, which with over 100,000 negatives to get through will take years!
The first American exhibition of Maier’s work opened in Chicago on Friday.
Hopefully her work will make its way to the UK soon..
Here is a collection of a few pics i’ve swiped from the web…

JAMIE XX
While on tour in the US, Jamie ’XX’ Smith talked in-depth to Martin ‘Blackdown’ Clark about ‘We’re New Here’, his remix album for Gil Scott-Heron.
The interview was organised for the sleeve notes for the record, writen by Clark, but none of the quotes made the final cut. Clark has now posted the full interview on his blog, where Jamie reveals that he was approached with the project by XL boss Richard Russell, off the back of his 2009 remix of Florence and the Machine’s ‘You Got the Love’.

THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION
I first came across this band when I was in New Zealand. They did the soundtrack for the amazing film ‘Boy’ which won best soundtrack at the NZ Film Awards. The film itself is now the highest grossing NZ film at the NZ box office of all time! ..if and when it it released over here you have to go see it!
Anyway, back to to the music…
This kiwi band have being going for over 10 years and are highly respected in New Zealand, however they’ve struggled to make waves worldwide.
The latest album ‘Buffalo’ is released on the 24th January and is already generating quite a lot of hype.
The London date of their European tour has completely sold out but if you’re lucky there might be a few tickets left for the Bristol and Brighton dates next month.

You will all know Toby and his brothers Kye and Leo of United fame, some of the U.Ks’ raddest shredders without a doubt. Toby is an all round good guy and will be coming on board with us in February 2011. He will be handling sales and marketing / media on the east coast for us. We have long be missing a face on the east coast and this will help us keep in touch with all of you over there. Toby will be based out of Byron so expect to see him popping up regulary all over the east coast from early next year.”
