Frank Incensed
Frank’s idea of heaven is finding a free naan bread he has only to pick off the bit a car drove over to enjoy. Stacey is his virginal and- for putting up with Frank-saintly girlfriend. God is the presumptious neighbour Who nips by to borrow her womb without asking.

The Cabaret of Potty People
I love filth. You can have the stars, I will always turn over for a better view of the gutter. Cabaret for Potty People share my passion, and they fly the freak flag high, but despite their zeal seem to have little idea what they’re doing. The show is very much a work-in-progress, so rather than a review I will offer tips.

Beck's Launches Virtual Art Galleries throughout London
Beck’s continues to show its commitment to art in London with the Green Box Project, a global fund aimed at inspiring, celebrating and financially supporting independent art, design, music and fashion talent.
But don’t expect to see these commissions on the white-washed wall of some post-POMO reclaimed warehouse. Rather, Beck’s is distributing ‘augmented reality’ cubes throughout the city. Use your iPhone app (Android coming soon) to make the art happen. Here’s a tip: you can find the boxes because they are coloured Beck’s green.
Take a look at this video to see what is going on:
Austra (UK) from Beck's Green Box Project on Vimeo.
Beck’s has also issued an open call for submissions, promising to bankroll and feature a total of 1,000 pieces over the next three years. Submissions will be reviewed by the Green Box team, headed by Nick Knight and Sam Spiegel. Check back after 8 August for submission details.
And, don’t forget, please enjoy Becks responsibly. www.drinkaware.co.uk

Very funny map of Maida Vale as it really is
Love this map, from @VenturaBlvd. From the Deli Canyon to Lexus Hybrid Avenue, it’s really got the area down. See a bigger version here.
Of course, it’s really just a more detailed of this.
