Cool: January 2008 Archives

Here's a review of the new Torchwood series by my mate Dave.

Summary : "Utterly Ridiculous"

But go and read the rest because it's very funny and made me laugh out loud.

The animated Star Wars, Clone Wars trailer is very cool. I really enjoyed the cartoon series: lots of crazy fighting that they couldn't do in the film, and this looks like more of the same, but hopefully longer.

The Guardian lists it's top 10 sexy bookshops around the world. [Via When Gravity Fails]. I haven't been to any of them.

My favourite bookstore is Waterstones in Birmingham (used to be Dillons). I like going up the big sweeping staircase and looking down, like this....




Then going up as high as you can and getting lost.

io9 have a post on where to buy cool SF T-Shirts, which includes Threadless. I love Threadless T-shirts, they're cool and you know they won't be common. The downside is that they ship from the US, and despite there being about $420 dollars to the pound, that's still a pain. None of the T-Shirt shops that io9 talk about appear to be outside of the US.

So, tell me, which are the cool places to buy SF T-shirts in the UK?
The only one I can think of is Bang Bang T-Shirts.

Via Guitar Noize here's a Stormtrooper Guitar (from 2002)




There's a Yoda and Boba Fett guitar too.

ROCK ON!
