Music: Merit & the Meritones
Merit Hemmingson & the Meritones "at the Esquire Club" (or perhaps Discoteque dance a go go if this is not the name of a series of records. Does anyone know for sure?) was recorded live on the 1st of February 1966 and released in 1967. This was the first record Merit ever did and not the most interesting and personal but I definitely think it's worth listening to. I don't believe it has ever been reprinted so until it's released on CD (if ever) here we go:

Illustration by Owe Gustafsson for a Swedish childrens TV show called Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter/Five ants are more than four elephants. In spirit somewhat like Sesame Street. (Framed prints can be bought here.) By the way, check out his Hommage a Tintin.

Travel Posters
"The 1920’s and 1930’s ushered in an unprecedented era of travel to exotic and romantic destinations. And nowhere was this more clearly expressed than in the travel posters of that time. The Los Angeles Public Library ’s collection of travel posters perfectly captures this era. With this exhibition, the Library shares its bounty with the public for the first time."

Short film: Staplerfahrer Claus
A German safety advert parody containing extreme gore. It's funny but not for the squeamish. Just give it a couple of minutes to get the action going.
UPDATE
Dear Swen of Swen's Weblog tells us that the movie is called "Staplerfahrer Claus" and that it's available on DVD for 5 EUR. Thanks Swen!
