This Month’s MetaFilter Posts

This month I’ve made quite a few posts at MetaFilter, an American website where thousands of people gather to share links to cool websites and shout at each other. Here they are:

The Tone Generation

The Tone Generation is a radio series by Ian Helliwell ‘looking at different themes or composers in the era of analogue tape and early synthesizer technology’. The original globe-trotting series: Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, USA, Canada, Rest of World. Bonus programmes: Expo 58, The RCA Synthesizer. All links are to MP3 files, except the first one. Alternatively, you can slurp down the lot in one go by subscribing to the podcast feed.


Theatre of the New Ear

Theatre of the New Ear. Two radio plays: one by Charlie Kaufman, the other by the Coen Brothers, recorded live and starring Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep.

The Coen Brothers’ Sawbones can be downloaded from the site linked above, or streamed along with Kaufman’s Hope Leaves the Theatre here. Via Subtraction.


L’Officiel de la Couture et de la Mode

A complete archive of French magazine L’Officiel de la Mode, from 1921 to 2008. It’s a treasure trove for fans of fashion, photography, advertising and design.


Architecture, Sampled And Remixed

Dionisio González makes photographs of imaginary favelas, Filip Dujardin makes photographs of imaginary buildings.


The Demarco Digital Archive

The Demarco Digital Archive holds 10,000 images and documents gathered by Richard Demarco, gallerist, Beuys collaborator, founder of the Traverse theatre and a key figure on the Scottish arts scene since the ’60s.


The Lost Synthesizer Classics of Ursula Bogner

It seems almost incredible that Ursula Bogner’s musical talents should have remained undiscovered until now.

Triple Works Hidden Rivet

This is likely to be of limited interest to most readers, but the denim heads1 will drool. Iron Heart have just released a new pair of jeans in a limited edition of one hundred: the Triple Works Hidden Rivet TWHR01.

Just look at that belt-loop stitching.

A belt-loop stitched to a waistband, for extra strength.

Like the mighty Iron Heart IH-634S, they’re based on the 1955 Levi’s cut, though probably not too closely, as Levi’s sued Iron Heart and other Japanese repro brands last year for trademark infringement. Unlike the IH-634S, which is made of incredibly hefty 21oz selvedge denim, the TWHR01 comes in a relatively lightweight 13oz selvedge, though it’s woven on the same 30” Riki-Shokki—that’s Japanese for “power loom”—and from the same long-fibre cotton.

Some more nerdy details:

  • Goatskin leather patch
  • Hidden rivets
  • Donut buttons
  • Button fly
  • Selvedge detailing inside the watch pocket and the fly construction of the jeans
  • Two colour stitching throughout
  • Extra-heavy twill pocket bags
  • Half-lined rear pockets
  • Belt loops stitched into waistband for extra strength

And if you order now, you can get an optional crotch rivet free of charge. Yes, you read that right, an optional crotch rivet!


  1. Hello Roger! Hello Mike!
