Alex DiGerlando was walking in New York City, and walked up on the Superior Sewing Machine & Supply Corp. He “thought of the DDC” a couple seconds later, and was nice enough to snap some shots, then share them with us.

And readers, we’re busy as shit all week long, but we got the time to show them to you. And here we go…

01. “Superior Sewing Machine & Supply Corp., no.01”
02. “Superior Sewing Machine & Supply Corp., no.02”
03. “Superior Sewing Machine & Supply Corp., no.03”
04. “Superior Sewing Machine & Supply Corp., no.04”

ALSO RECOMMENDED: Strictly Background is a movie you need to see. Very good, and, very sad. My heart just goes out to all of ‘em.

And hey, Hollywood, I hope you feel good about how you exploit these guys. 55 bucks a day?! 55? With all the money and adulation thrown at the so-called “star,” all you fucks can cough up is a measly 55 bucks a day for these guys? I mean, come on, little Tafan pedaled across town, and caught three buses to come and make your shot better. Shameful, at best.

Next time you meet an extra, give ‘em a hug, and then, buy them lunch or something. Yeesh.

NOW WE’RE TALKING, ER, DISASSEMBLING: The “Disassembled Household Appliances” Flickr set.

SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN LISTENING TO ALOT, SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY: Dungen’s Swedish epic, “Ta Deg Lugnt.” Whatever the hell that means. Good jams, man. No idea what they are saying.

Here’s what a “critic” stateside had to say about them: “The lyrics within Dungen’s Ta det Lugnt offer no profound personal introspection, colorful metaphors or soul-challenging wisdom to the monolingual English-speaking population. Indeed, without singing a single word of discernable English, Dungen makes a convincing case that the emotional evocation of music lies not in the catharsis effect of spoken words, but the sheer empowerment of a configured, succession of notes.”

Damn, we need a translator for that one too. Our dilemma.

SAG rate for commercials is over 250/8 hours. 2x on weekends. No one held a gun to these people’s heads.

Hej Draplin! I’m new to your blog - and like it already;)
Just thought I’d clear up “Tag Det Lungt” for you; it means “Take it easy”. Swedes say it a lot to folks who seem to be even a little bit stressed, harried, or worried.

I haven’t heard Dungen - but I do know those swedes can spin a tune like nobody’s business.

what a pity that I can not come to this place, to hear experts on design, I only know about the sewing machine, also lack understanding of design. I also read some post on this website, they are valuable really.
