“Krüger approaches nearly all of his subjects with a level of respect and sincerity contrasting the often extreme exaggeration of their features. The result is the creation of visually and psychologically explosive ‘Krugerized’ portraits.”

It features a multi-talented dog called Harvey who uses a TV to showcase his amazing talents to potential new owners, which include being able to play chess, make the bed and do the ironing, among other things.

Harvey’s own ad ends with the line ‘Every home needs a Harvey’ and is set to the sound Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s 1974 classic ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet’.

Wait its not the way it sounds. On Sound cloud Shamantis has uploaded an amazing ambient chillout track where Justin Bieber’s ‘U Smile’ has been slowed down 800%. Never in my life did I think I would listen to 35 minutes of Justin Beiber and actually like it. But there you go always suprising myself!

J. BIEBZ – U SMILE 800% SLOWER by Shamantis

Let me know what you think.

Sara Bareilles
someone that’s worth keeping an eye on.

The Avett Brothers
These guys are getting rather large in the states at the minute. They have a really nice country twang about them.

Josh Ritter
A Really nice way of telling a story. The video was directed by puppeteer extraordinaire Liam Hurley (of The Royal City Band) conceived, directed and produced this mesmerizing vision

Josh covering ‘the boss’

Whilst talkng about music please vote for my friend Ben powell as he’s an absolute dynamo on a set of drums
