The Retrospective: Weekly Round Up

It’s been a red letter week for The Retrospective. Pieces on Fred Flare and fashion firm Dolan Group broke through to the cool-o-sphere known as Notcot while Picocool picked up our first ever bilingual feature on Barcelona, Spain designers Alan The Gallant. We’re excited to be spreading the gospel of new, hip and happening to an even greater number of eyes. For returning readers, thank you for being a friend, and to our new readers, welcome home. We like you already.

As a little end-of-week treat we’ve rounded up a hefty helping of good stuff scoured from the most secret of interweb sea caves and gullies. Take a look and a listen, and thanks for making this our best week ever.

This Town Needs Guns: These boys need nothing but perhaps a little less warble, otherwise we’re enchanted by the trickly mathrock and adorably animal-themed tracks.

Ordinarily we wouldn’t endorse wildly slapstick, improbable and ridiculous comedy based on an overdone cultural trope…except hearing a baby get hit by a car door and watching Zach Galifinaki get pwned by a singing Mike Tyson has us sold. (via First Showing)

Nurse? We feel a little sick… and a little intrigued by this get-noticed identity set freshly extracted from Czechoslovakia. We hope somebody provided these guys with cookies and juice. (via Behance)

Slip into something more comfortable, turn up the baby-makin’ beats of Canadian Alex Cuba’s “Si Pero No,” and get down to a little sugar time with your sweetie. What’s that you say? you find his sideburns too distracting? Like, wildly too distracting? It’s okay–us too–but it’s the internet! At least it’s completely okay to stare!
