    • I still have some of the orginal catalogues

      REMO General Store

      19 November 2005

      The original REMO store was full of multi dimensional brands like Proraso, Fisher Space Pens, Moleskine and many others. As a "best of the best" brand heaven it also provided a platform for the wonderful t shirt designs - of which the "stripey thing" deserves nomination in its own right. After 16 years I still have some of the orginal catalogues. Now as a community driven brand it continues to inspire. Check out the zoob modelling system and see if it is a classic in the making.

    • On high rotate at my house for months

      Fat Freddy's Drop

      23 November 2005

      This album has been on high rotate at my house for months now. A great blend of old and newsound shapes and a very mellow vibe. Perfect for Summer - check track 3 "This Room" and get the music store to put it on - see what happens when the horns and beat get going. FAB. Note: this album went gold with no advertising - it is a real find!

    • Shame about the beer

      Foster's Lager

      04 December 2005

      Australia has some great beers. This in not one of them. The best thing about Fosters is the adverstising. Shame about the beer. Try a Crown or Cascade instead.

    • A hollow core company

      Starbucks

      04 December 2005

      Starbucks is a hollow core company. The brand values don't extend to looking after their people but they sell organic coffee - go figure. Actually the coffee is terrible as well.

    • Part of Denmarks design contribution to the world

      Skagen Designs

      05 December 2005

      Understated design with clean, simple lines and well thought out elements. Especially like the mens watches. High quality at a great price. I have one of the titanium watches and it is very striking. The Skagen collections also include pens, sunglasses and clocks. Part of Denmarks design contribution to the world. Thanks you Skagen.

    • A great idea, no matter its source

      Nudie

      08 December 2005

      A great idea is a great idea, no matter its source. In the drinks business execution is everything. We should be pleased we can get a Nudie and not winge on about where the idea came from.

    • A celebration...

      Neil and Tim Finn

      29 December 2005

      A celebration of friends, family and truckloads of talent. I have seen both Neil and Tim perform in Split Enz, Crowded House and other combinations and the Finn brothers is warm, engaging and the best of the best.
