Have you ever heard of Shonen Knife? It is an all-female musical band from Japan. They perform Japanese pop/punk/garage rock. Among their fans are Sonic Youth and Nirvana! They have extremely cute song names called “Fuit loop dreams”, “Hot Chocolate”, “I am a cat”, “Banana chips”, “Twist barbie” and “Cherry bomb”.

Shonen Knife’s new album “fun! fun! fun!” hit stores in Japan on July 6, 2007 to coincide with the band’s 25th anniversary. If you happen to like pop punk, you may really like their work!

You can check their official website here.

This could aswell be a post for our official blog but we preferred it to be featured on our media, games section.

Fashion retailer H&M teamed up with Electronic Arts to bring modern fashion into the game world of the Sims with the H&M Fashion “stuff” extension pack. The game will allow players to

“- dress your Sims in a stylish ensemble showcasing the vibrant colors and bold accessories that are the latest trends this season!

- design a runway and show off all of your favorite H&M styles

- design your own H&M retail environment, or use new store-themed items to build an intimate H&M boutique for more sophisticated citizens” (source: Amazon).

The Sims 2 is a sequel to the best selling The Sims, a life simulation game where you control an animated character’s interaction with virtual environment. The online version of the game, The Sims Online, is similar to Second Life.

The Sims 2 Fashion Runway design contest site; a very cool idea, too.
- Read about the game on EA site, and on H&M’s site, too. Sounds like a lot of fun, what do you think?
