JB's Friday 5

Hello Friends,

Another week is almost done and dusted and just as a little treat for you here is what I have found for you.

#1 – Chindogu

Chindogu are un-useless inventions. What does that mean you ask, well they are inventions that have a purpose but that purpose might not hit the mark or is on the verge of useless. The father of this specific genre of objects is Kenji Kawakami - creator of the un-useless inventions such as the butter stick. This website is the centre of the Chindogu universe and as a side not I love that it looks like it has not been updated in a decade.

#2 – Khruangbin - A Love International

This music video is amazing. It’s a beautiful love story but shot in such an awesome way and with such a genuine feel to it. Check it out.

#3 – Apple Waste Fabric

This new translucent fabric called Adam Sheet is made entirely out of apple waste. Super cool tech and I also just love the way it looks.

#4 – GxAce

This YouTube channel has no right being this good. Turning camera reviews into post apocalyptic cinematic masterpieces. The depth of story in the subtext and backgrounds is astounding. I love that there are people going against the grain, creating genuinely interesting stuff.

#5 – Sawako Kabuki

Artist Sawako Kabuki feels a bit naughty but only a bit. Weird? Absolutely, and I love weird. They are responsible for one of my all time favourite animations so well worth checking out.

O.K.

That’s it.

JB
