From 2006 to 2009 photographer Jan Kempenaers travelled around Yugoslavia photographing these giant cement structures that look like monuments erected in sites where aliens have landed. They were actually all commissioned by the former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 60’s and 70’s as a way of commemorating sites where WW11 battles happened or where concentration camps were. Too bad that now they have all been abandoned or destroyed. Lucky Jan Kempenaers, has taken photos of the remaining ones so I can get a house built like one of these one day. [read more]

Being in a band is great and all but with so many acts around these days it can be hard to get people to notice you. That’s where street teams come into play; groups of devoted fans who donate their time and energy to getting your music listened to. Usually it’s done by posters and fliers, but in this cool video from indie band Real Estate, they take it a little bit further. Good song too.
