Paper Record Player

Fully working, manual record player made entirely of paper. To play the record the handle needs to be turned in a clockwise direction at a steady 33^1/3rpm. The paper cone then acts as a pickup, amplifying the sound enough to make it audible. (Record shown, The Sound of Music 1965). By Simon Elvins.

Who Shot Rock & Roll

This picture of Mick Jagger was taken in Philadelphia in 1982 by the British photographer Michael Putland, and is part of the exhibition "Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present", curated by Gail Buckland, currently at the Brooklyn Museum.

"Michael Putland was the official photographer on some of the Rolling Stones’ U.S. and European tours. He had access granted no other photographer and was able to stay in the 'pit' for entire concerts while the other photographers were asked to leave after the first three songs. Putland laments the lack of discrimination in the press today when it comes to celebrity portraiture. 'There is no premium for quality,' he says. 'I love photography, not the nonsense'."

This poster (actually it is a series of posters) won the gold award in the European Design Awards. Made for a Stevie Wonder's tribute party, these posters juxtaposed song titles and their translation into braille. Designed by the Spanish studio Bendita Gloria, founded in 2007 in Barcelona. It's really worth it to check their portfolio!
