2. SEATYLOCK



Okay, the woman in the spaghetti-strap top locks the bike with the SEATYLOCK in a way that you could literally just slip the bike out of the lick without even cutting anything, but that’s beside the point. The point is: how is this better than anything else that exists already, except that it locks you into a stupid seat, and maybe a stupid seatpost? Why make things more proprietary than necessary for marginal benefit? The world will never know.

I can’t rate this – the product could be more ridiculous, but the video really ruins it for me.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
