Cold Cave does things to me if vocalized would put me in the adult section of Blog Catalog. Cold Cave is a group based out of New York, delivering a synth ride  you wont easily forget. Life Magazine’s new video is reminiscent of early 80s horror film, love the expression, the tales, the journey, and the vocals will send joyful jitters all over your body.

The video focuses around the Marti Domination being creepy walking around doing her thing, she reminds me of Satan from the Passion Of The Christ just a bit more plumb than the skeleton in Passion. Enough of description enjoy the video for Cold Cave’s Life Magazine.

Design and Story from Studio Weave:

FREYA’S CABIN
KIELDER WATER

Freya’s Cabin is one of a pair of allegorical visitors’ shelters by Studio Weave overlooking Kielder Water, northern Europe’s largest man-made lake. These and four other new shelters along the Lakeside Way – a 27-mile long walking trail around the reservoir – form part of a series of art and architecture interventions within the Kielder Water and Forest Park.

Freya’s Cabin is constructed from CNC-cut plywood layers pressed together, with each layer having a cutout shape like a stage set. The structure is held together with glue and tension rods that fix through pre-drilled holes in every layer. Some of the layers, including the balustrade of the lake-side front, are clear acrylic. This allows light into the middle of the structure and creates a forest-cover-like affect. The structure is raised up off the ground with lots of golden metal “stems” randomly arranged and “planted” into the concrete foundations. Freya’s gold tears are made with perforated metal sheets, copper and aluminum alloy. This shiny golden material wraps the cabin’s sides, roof, and underside.

The Story of Freya and Robin

“Robin’s Hut is on the North bank, on the edge of the woodland amongst fir trees and rocks. Robin built himself a simple wooden structure that he covered in timber shingles on this site surrounded by water that he felt gave it a remote, island-like feel.

Freya is named after the Norse goddess of love, beauty and fertility. The goddess loves spring, music and flowers, is very fond of elves and fairies, and is known – on occasion of great sadness – to cry tears of gold. Freya loved to take long walks collecting flowers and pressing them to decorate everything around her.

Freya fell for Robin and showed her affection by making him the gift of an intricate cabin in the image of the woodlands he so loved. She chose a spot opposite and aligned with Robin’s Hut to give Robin the best chance of seeing the Cabin. She modeled it on her flower press, arranging carefully collected branches to make an enchanted forest. She put Foxgloves at the entrance to invite the fairies in, then pressed everything tight together so the cabin would be strong and crisp and last forever.

When she sees Robin rowing off on an adventure, Freya cried tears of gold and wrapped the cabin in them. Meanwhile, Robin turned his head to look back at the lake he loved and noticed something glinting in the distance. He was so curious that he decided to row back and find out what it was and there, of course, was the golden Cabin and Freya. He was moved by the cabin and invited Freya on his adventure with him.

They didn’t leave very long ago, so they are still away adventuring, but if you can find it, you can see Robin’s wooden hut and the golden cabin that Freya made for him, facing each other across the lake, awaiting their return.”

Do you know the feeling that you do not want to take a look at something, but you still do? The Road Kill carpet is a continues struggle between attraction and repulsion. It’s a warm, soft, cuddly carpet that attracts you to take a nap on it. But at the same time its a repulsive image of a car-flattened, bloody fox.

The Road Kill Carpet by dutch design company OOOMS is a slightly uncomfortable rug for a middle of the living room conversation piece. I love it.  Not even available for sale yet, the carpet is in high demand.  This poor Fox will not learn to live another day.

Dubai will not have the largest phallus in the world anymore if Guillermo Socarras has a say, he is in battle with the Federal Aviation Administration to secure approval for the height of his tower. Miapolis is a structure planned to be the tallest in the world reaching a whooping 975 meters. how high is that in feet? I don’t know Google it! Its not like we could actually comprehend heights beyond 400 feet anyway.

This super structure will be erected in Miami and will include,

“The 160 storey building would be more than 183 metres higher than the Burj Khalifa if built and would house an amusement park, observatory, restaurants, 1.96 million sq ft of shops, over 1000 apartments, 1 million sq ft office space and a 792 room hotel.”

I think someone has been watching too much Avatar! -LADY
