Bandwiches: if bands were sandwiches

cool

If bands were sandwiches, what would they look/taste like? Here’s a long list right in time for dinner.

I quite liked those ones:

Black Sabbath: Ham, stilton, LSD mustard, milled wheat bread.

Sex Pistols: Deep-fried Frank Sinatra LP, Russian mustard, spackle, tacks, stale rye bread.

Depeche Mode: Chicken breast, Swiss cheese, grilled suede, fried onions, mascara aioli, seeded baguette.

Pink Floyd: Amethyst-rubbed pork, asparagus jelly, moon-dried tomatoes, pumpernickel.

The Pogues: Gin-fed lamb, whiskey-marinated turkey, beer-braised pork shoulder, mustard, soda bread.

Depending on your musical tastes, you may not be hungry after reading on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Bandwiches. via kottke

That’s a lot of Rubik’s Cubes

art, cool

4242 Rubik's Cubes were used to create this triple portrait of Dr Martin Luther King Jr

4242 Rubik’s cube cubes and many hours of work were needed to achieve this triple portrait of Martin Luther King Jr.

Original site is in German, so here’s a rough translation (with the help of google, that is):

4242 Rubik’s cube cubes and many hours of work. The result is an approximately 5.8 m wide and 2.9 m high portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. Pete Fecteau , with the help of YouCanDoTheRubiks, First Park Congregational Church, The Student Advancement Foundation and Cooley Law School produced about half a ton of heavy work of art.  A a computer-generated blueprint was used for the presentation of his ‘Dream Big’, which got him in the top 50 of 1700 participants of the ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
