painting with moss

Billed as "environmentally friendly" graffiti, this moss paint is pretty remarkable. Apparently an old gardening trick for encouraging moss growth, there are many examples on the internet of it being used as you would traditional paints. It seems easy enough to make, with slightly varying recipes online mainly consisting of: moss, Buttermilk (or yogurt) water or beer, sugar and corn syrup to thicken in needed. I think what is key would be placement of the moss in some were damp but not exposed to direct rain. one online source suggested growing a design in compost until it becomes established enough, then transferring to your location. Regular watering once in location is also suggested.

I guess the thing to do now is to try it out.

Thinking about record sleeves, it would be great if some how you could buy the record and it would look like any other record, but over time would start to grow some kind of organic matter/plant on it. hmmmm

I like all of lets wrestle's music videos as there always light hearted/very funny. A band who don't take themselves too seriously, apart form when it comes to solid songwritting. I like the way the video is a half arsed idea just about executed; I think it reflects the simplicity of the song.A welcome change from so may pretentious indie band videos with people gazing into the distance singing there shitty songs.

Record sleeve that is also a record player.

when me and my friend paul bought a cd, we'd say "yeah im just gonna give it a listen" and hold it to our ear. A hilarious joke. but now a reality, with this invetion by GGRP sound, and kind of professional music nerd company. By putting the record on a what seems to be a clear square eyletted onto the cardbaord and rotating with a pencil with the needles rested on the disc, the sound suposedly resonates though the cardboard casing. It reminds me of an experiment I did in science when I was about 14. if you have a record player on a turntable, you can amplify it with a sewing needle and a plastic cup. This is the kind of innovative idea id like to use for the Dingus Khan vinyl release. I like the idea of this intimate interaction with the songs, being in complete control of the speed and able to play around way the song sounds. It also helps that now adays When you buy a record a download code for the songs is ususaly given, so that this process (which if Im truely nerdily honest looks like it could damage the record) wouldnt matter too much.
