WE ARE DIAMOND FUCKIN’ KOBRA
Back in 1984 Elin & Emeli-Sofi Lundin from Sweden started a band they named Diamond Kobra.
As they had no recording equipment, they tried to figure out a way to get their music on tape. One night they had the chance to get into the Nightingale Studios for small money after the session of another group.
They jammed the whole night and recorded a demo tape. Unfortunately a week later the studio was destroyed by a winter storm. It was rebuilt the same year by a new owner and the demo went into a provisional archive with the other remaining material from the studio.
In 2017, 34 years later, Rögnvaldr Nyström bought the studio and found the Diamond Kobra demotracks. He remembered the last name on the tape: Lundin and asked his friend Otto Løfgren, who had married a woman from the Lundin family. It turned out his wife Ida was the aunt of the girls. Løfgren is a talented programmer and tech nerd and his friend Bjørn Bors Baconsson has a studio with a tape machine. As they heard the Diamond Kobra tape they knew they had to make an album out of it. It sounded like pure joy from the ’80s. They teamed up with their friends and fellow musicians to bring the music back to life and make an album out of it.
The sound from the 1984 recordings was great electronical music that had its own beautiful sound. It was time to add more vicious synthesizers and ripping guitars to blend it all into what Diamond Kobra does best:
High-Voltage Darksynth
Baconsson, who comes from a film scoring background, wrote a story for the album. A vision about a far future in which each song is one chapter of a novel. The characters and their story came together in the concept album which also contains soundtrack elements.
The project began in early 2018 when recordings started in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and England. Løfgren and Baconsson were extremely happy when outstanding musicians like Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian, JM of Psychopunch, K.D. Johansen of Supercharger and the famous Amott Brothers (Michael & Chris Amott) joined for the album production.
The cover artwork was done by well-known movie poster artist Tom Hodge of The Dude Designs. A complete graphic novel is already in the making, too. Just like the sequel to the first album.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Psalm 27:9 King James Version
"In the year 2055, China faces an epidemic of Christianity, the Reformers are then created to counter the threat. >>

Folks, we at The Shop have a new offering for your design needs: grids!
Are you making a retrowave/synthwave/1980s piece, and need the right grounding element? Are you composing a mid-century modern mood board, and need some visual structure? Are you crafting a collage, and need a nifty pattern? We have you covered.
The set includes forty-five (45) base assets, themselves available in a few different variations. There are scans of real vintage graph paper sheets (metric units). There are scans of printed grids (imperial units). There are scans of two different sets of hand-drawn grids (imperial units). There are distorted grids, created manually while scanning.
Because these are made out of assets that were scanned in, they retain a particular texture, and grain, that makes all of them unique.
In addition to all of this, there are matching transparent PNG versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and even vector versions. This set will be your new go-to for grids, regardless of the scale you need to work in. And of course, all files are clearly labeled, and organized, as usual.

Just Say No, unless you're funding a war in Nicaragua, in which case cocaine finds its way onto American streets anyway. This one pairs Reagan's TV-smile charm with the decade's ugliest open secret: the Iran-Contra pipeline running under his own War on Drugs. Vaporwave grid and neon sunset because nothing dresses up 80s hypocrisy like a gradient. Title borrowed from Murphy's Law's 1986 track "California Pipeline," hardcore's own way of calling it out at the time.
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:6 King James Version
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Last year, Hyundai built one of the coolest concept cars of the modern era: the N Vision 74. Taking influence from their 1974 Pony concept, its retrofuturistic racer styling recalls the totally tubular era of angular styling, boxy fender flares, and turbofan wheels. Did I mention it runs on hydrogen and drifts?
This Lego version by TheGBrix captures the 80s fanboy wet dream with perfection, and takes me back 15 years before I was born, in a time before modern trends made life confusing.
Seriously, the instructions amazed me with his skill level so much I feel like I can't build MOCs at all.
Here's the Rebrickable link where I bought the instructions: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-126509/thegbrix/hyundai-n-vision...

Gun no.331, by Chvrches from the album The Bones Of What You Believe
There's no other way
Never run far
I, I, I, have burned your bridges
I will be a gun
And it's you I'll come for
I, I, have never felt so easy
I will be a gun
And it's you I'll come for
And it's you
And I'm gonna see that you won't go far

My 365 art project, where I create a year’s worth [yep, 365] of digital collages, with indie songs as my subject.
Love anything synthwave so designed a car, the back end being a design by Jerry_Builds_Bricks on YouTube. I also used the engine design from set 76934. Then I added the sunset from my "synthwave sunset" moc from a while ago.
Cheers!
