putin: the dark rise of power / gq [banned in... →
Ten years ago this month, Russia was rocked by a series of mysterious apartment bombings that left hundreds dead. It was by riding the ensuing wave of fear and terror that a then largely unknown Vladimir Putin rose to become the most powerful man in the country. But there were questions about the nature of those bombings - and disturbing evidence that the perpetrators might actually have been...

golden eye + top 40 rap + pro tools = gold n’ fly
Gold N’ Fly: 007 masterfully manipulates the music from the classic Nintendo 64 title to create a work of art that is both nostalgic and contemporary.

consider pimm's / the guardian →
pretty funny article:
Pimm’s is fabulous: glorious and cloying and tawny, as rich and fruity as a Tatler deb. God knows what’s in it. The recipe is a secret, and only the ‘Pimm’s Six’, whoever they might be, are privy to it. (Windsor-style, the members of this clandestine lodge are apparently forbidden to fly on the same plane.) The main product, No. 1 Cup, is based...

One afternoon in late April, Karl Rove welcomed an elite group of conservative political operatives and moneymen into his home in Washington, D.C. Along with his protégé Ed Gillespie, who succeeded him as George W. Bush’s top political adviser, Rove had gathered together the heavyweights of the GOP’s fundraising network. In attendance were the political director of the U.S. Chamber...
