It's back again, like a yoyo on the rise! Here's the Weekender

Would you bloody well look at that? You thought Friday would never roll around again and yet here it is, like the cat that wanders home in the morning having spent the whole night in the cubby hole behind the garage getting chummy with next door’s Tabby, smug, self-satisfied and ready to sit in your lap and purr itself to sleep. These anthropomorphic days of the week, you never know what they’re going to turn up as. Here’s the Weekender.

– To celebrate the launch of the brand new issue of Printed Pages and the Americana feature within it, we made an Americana-inspired mixtape! Get jiggy with it!

– This week’s Things feature got a bit eggy. (We’re sorry about the puns.)

– If you were starting to feel concerned that the Studio Audience podcast was becoming increasingly trivial with each passing week, allow us to pull it back with this episode about London Design Festival and, ahem, tampons.

– For the Opinion piece this week we decided to take a leaf out of Opening Ceremony’s book, with each member of the editorial team dreaming up our ideal art and design-themed plays.

– Filmmaker Simon Penochet told us all about his favourite music video, for the Scissors Sisters by CANADA.

– They call him the king of magazine design, and we were lucky enough to have a look round Jeremy Leslie’s kingdom (in his Bookshelf feature.)

The weekend is a time for us to commune with our beds and, often, the other person in it. All too often forgotten in this loving equation are our poor old bedsheets; our companions through good sleeps and bad, lonely nights and drunken, in sickness and in health. So here’s a film about a relationsheet.

I really feel like all that’s been missing in my life up until this point is a website in which you can change the colour of Hue, ahem, Hugh Grant.

I found this cover that Cate Le Bon did of a White Fence track called Chairs in the Dark. Cate’s a Welsh singer whose songs are like nothing else, and to see that she’s a huge fan of Tim Presley of White Fence – who in turn is a huge fan of hers – is totally great. What’s better than a great musician paying homage to another via a fantastic, moody cover of one of their best songs? I love how this is shot, it makes me want to put on John Lennon glasses and go and sit in a sunny LA garden with Cate while she serenades me on that spectacular guitar. Wonderful!

Two words: Cats sliding. CATS. SLIDING. You’ll never look back.

If you’re not aware of The Day Today, it was a brilliant satirical show that lampooned the preposterous way TV news programmes seemed to be going. At the time it seemed like ludicrous hyperbole, but increasingly it seems that its writing team had an amazing amount of foresight. Once a week at least I come across a headline that seems to have been lifted straight from The Day Today cutting floor, rejected for being too silly. This week’s comes from The Independent: “Grandmas keep accidentally tagging themselves as Grandmaster Flash on Facebook.” Read on dear friends and let’s have a long hard look at the society we’ve become…
