The quality of today’s online interactive graphic design aesthetic continues to stun.
Case in point: Evan Kessler, contributing to the kick-ass blog of brand manager Josh Spears, turns us on to Berlin-based art/design firm WHITEvoid’s quite frickin’ amazing 3D-ish interactive site, noting that it was given an FWA–Favourite Website Award. The FWAs themselves were established in 2000 by pioneering UK web design firm “treecity”, and their site is a pretty ideal (and quite popular) model of well-built high-density info organization. I’m not entirely clear who runs it now, but whoever it is also runs the creative industry job site WellVetted and–to close the circle–the Best Web Awards.
Lotsa good shit goin on out there.

Doin’ ‘Werk
Brazilian-based blog All Tribes lets go with not only Kraftwerk’s entire official discography, but a gang of bootlegs, including a serious prog noise romp they threw down in ‘71 in Koln, and this craziness that happened in Tokyo in ‘81.
Enough has been written about what Kraftwerk mean to modern music. Here’s what they were doing 38 fuckin’ years ago.
Kraftwerk - Ruckzuck (Live on WDR TV in 1970)
Dub Police on Mary Anne Hobbes BBC 1
Check it before it’s archived. (Someone grab this on MP3, pleeeze.)
Lots of good stuff courtesy Caspa & crew–The Others, Unitz, Orien and MC Rod Azlan. Highlights include a ’step-mix of Lennie Di Ice’s classic rave anthem “We Are E”.

Damn…Martini & Jopparelli come with a nice treasure: a 1983 mix on WHBI by the one like Afrika Islam. Kid was, what, 16 at that point?
