FUTUREHEADS X DAVID SHRIGLEY
Miss Cakehead tipped us off about this new and exciting project and we couldn't resist blogging it.
The Futureheads, have collaborated with iconic artists including David Shrigley and Stuart Semple to create a series of limited edition prints, raising money for Newcastle based charities with all of the artists generously giving their time for free. The project came about as the band discussed ways to celebrate their 10th birthday, ahead of their ‘Futurefest’ gig on the 23rd December in Newcastle. For the ‘FH10’ project the band sent each one of the artists an album, and asked them to respond to its music as if creating the album cover for the first ever time. Taking about the project Ross Millard of the band said:
For us, FH10 is a brilliant way of us celebrating ten years of making music together; new life breathed into our back-catalogue by four artists whose work we have admired from afar for many years.
We wanted to celebrate our first decade in a creative way, not by slobbering over a few pints, desperately trying to recall venues we played back in the early days, but by looking toward the future by giving birth to something new – having new creations to enjoy and shout about.
Over the years we’ve written and recorded a lot of music, and in the last few years we’ve even released some of it ourselves too, but projects like this one, that operate on the fringes of the music, are often the most fun to be part of, because they can teach you a thing or two about a world you don’t inhabit on a daily basis. It’s been wonderful collaborating with artists who can re-interpret our music into something completely new and invigorating – waiting to see what they’d come back with was really exciting.
Each of the prints is available in a strictly limited edition run of 100, signed by the artists and priced at £50. They will go on sale during the first week of December via leading online cultural retailer Culture Label, from the 6th December, no pre-orders can be taken.

DAVID BOWIE X MICK RONSON X BRITISH RAIL
On Wednesday night we skipped across the road to Idea Generation for the Private View of the Mick Rock:Rock Music exhibition. The gallery was absolutely jam packed and there was a real buzz about the place.
I have to say I was blown away by the images on show. More Bowie than you could shake a stick at plus loads of Blondie, Bryan Ferry, Gaga, Madonna and my personal hero Mick Ronson!
My favourite image of the entire exhibition has to be the photo of Bowie and Ronson having lunch together on a train to Aberdeen; their hair cuts , outfits and expressions are insanely amazing. I went round snapping some other highlights with my blackberry... see the results below.
The Exhibition runs until 16 January and it's FREE admission. How Amazing!
