Noisey
It's a shame that TV channels keep on making reality shows following Paris Hilton around or scripting the lives of the young and dumb for our amusement when they could be catch a psychedelic hippy skiffle group as they surf a drug- and BBQ chicken-powered wave across America. Fortunately the aforementioned beat combo, the Growlers, are one of the attractions of this entertainingly swish new band video discovery site. The other dozen acts here are less enjoyable – and docu-drama worthy – but if you're searching for angry teen punk, Chinese grunge pop, or Canadian electro-goth then Flats, Hedgehog and Austra will fill the appropriate holes in your life.
The Hair Hall Of Fame
Considering how often hair preoccupies the human race, there is little of note about the subject online. Addressing the balance is this terrific celebration of hairstyles in popular culture which rejoices in the good as well as the bad: be it the secrets of Donald Trump's fluff-over, Gaga's hair bow or the Ronettes' beehives. Retro ads for hair products and gadgets include one which attempted to sell the concept of using tape to cut a straight fringe, while among photos of salons of the world is the distinctly un-erotic Texan men's hairdressers Sexy Scissors.
