legal, financial, project management, online bits, design.  I’ve enjoyed every minute of being involved with what they are doing.</p> <p>It’s so cool to see the hard work they have both put in finally pay off and for people to start hearing what is truly an amazing record.  It’s also nice to be part of a small family of inspiring people - <a href="http://www.iamstanley.com">Emily</a>, my girlfriend, designed the covers and labels, and I’m so proud of the process she went through and final artwork, which <a href="http://iamstanley.com/project/reverse-engineering-album/">looks great</a>.</p> <p>Anyway, enough back slapping.  If you haven’t heard the record yet, <a href="http://www.thesimonsound.com/">go here</a>.  If you are one of those few people who care about owning it, you can <a href="http://www.thesimonsound.com/buy.html">buy it here</a>.  I strongly suggest you do buy it, it’s the people who buy this stuff that enable new good things to carry on being made.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/650054919http://www.notkindacool.com/post/650054919Mon, 31 May 2010 15:17:43 +0100the simonsoundphotoradio 1radiomusicdj formatsimon jamesiamstanley.comemily macaulaygilles peterson<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11380481&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11380481&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11380481&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>April 2010 Photo Montage</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/565358982http://www.notkindacool.com/post/565358982Sun, 02 May 2010 10:58:21 +0100<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10604936&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10604936&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10604936&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>March 2010 photo montage containing cake baking, simonsound photo shoots, school disco’s, and a tour of kings college anatomy theatre amongst other things.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/488889440http://www.notkindacool.com/post/488889440Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:06:13 +0100<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzdir174sm1qz4ulxo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Embarking on a new venture - making notebooks (for others).  After playing around with the idea for the past 6 months, the need has arisen for me and <a href="http://www.iamstanley.com">Emily</a> to do a bit more than just play around.  I have a business need, my company, <a href="http://www.peoplewhodo.co.uk">People Who Do</a> likes to give people handmade things like notebooks - I would prefer us to be making them.  I also have a personal need, to make nice things, to constantly be thinking about the design of things like paper and notebooks.</p> <p>I just sent notebooks to <a href="http://www.samismail.com/">Sam</a> and <a href="http://markhadfield.typepad.com/">Mark</a> who have some plans to do something special with them which they will document online - I love this idea, made me think about starting some kind of <a href="http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/">assignment</a> based around one of our notebooks that anyone can take part in.</p> <p>If you’d like us to make you one (or more), <a href="mailto:curtis@curtisjames.org">let us know</a>.  We are in the process of setting up a place to buy online, in the meantime, just <a href="mailto:curtis@curtisjames.org">email us</a> to find out more.</p> <p>More images <a href="http://gallery.me.com/curtisjames#100185">here</a>.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/452105685http://www.notkindacool.com/post/452105685Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:01:00 +0000notebooksmakingbookbindingpaperstationarybespokedesignfor<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9827325&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9827325&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9827325&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>The February 2010 photo montage thingy.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/420053570http://www.notkindacool.com/post/420053570Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:16:40 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyk1icNkRP1qz4ulxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/236190660/ddr">this isn’t happiness.™ Peter Nidzgorski, tumblr</a></p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/417571856http://www.notkindacool.com/post/417571856Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:59:00 +0000<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyk18jxcsd1qz4ulxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.defgrip.net/2009/03/amazing-old-school-bmx-photos/">Amazing Old School BMX Photos | Defgrip</a></p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/417565075http://www.notkindacool.com/post/417565075Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:53:05 +0000<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky24wrmpMn1qz4ulxo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Went to the Design Museum today to see the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams">Dieter Rams</a> exhibition.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/397210234http://www.notkindacool.com/post/397210234Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:55:39 +0000<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9157657&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9157657&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9157657&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>January’s photo montage.</p>http://www.notkindacool.com/post/367171073http://www.notkindacool.com/post/367171073Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:19:50 +0000
