To steal a phrase, The Tripwire is all about luxury, and so are the good folks at Ben Sherman and Visit Britain. And thanks to this pretty epic contest, you can be too. In a nutshell, if you win you’ll get flown to London, you’ll stay in a really nice hotel, go to clubs, get a shopping spree at the Ben Sherman store and do a whole bunch more. To see the full details of the trip and to enter, just go here.

I originally went out to The Blender Theater At Gramercy last night to support my good friend and emo folklore tour manager Jon Cheese. He’s been on a million tours, keeping 16 year old girls off stage, selling reasonably priced merch, and getting wasted in a different city every night. This particular night he was coming through town with Hellogoodbye, a 5-piece from Long Beach, California.
If you were looking forward to singing along to the next Super Furry Animals album, you’re out of luck.
If the last time you built anything with LEGOs was sometime around a fifth-grade book report diorama, you’ve got some catching up to do. Check out these 20 classic album covers recreated through the magic of LEGO art.
Though we found these on The Toy Zone, they come both flickr and a gallery site called Brickshelf, which features (among lots of other random lego creations) dozens more album covers; from Frank Zappa to Metallica to Rush. We can’t really explain it, but pictures are just more amusing when they’re full of these little plastic people. Our only regret is that there’s not a more anatomically correct LEGO baby for Nirvana’s Nevermind.
