Brighton Mod Weekender photos

Just passed this very weekend, we now have a selection of photos online from the Brighton Mod Weekender 2009.

Those photos were taken by Lauren Towner and are rather good - someone certainly has a promising photography career ahead of them!

Check them out right now at the gallery and as ever, if you have any interesting images we can show off on the site, just get in touch.

Brighton Rock movie remake goes mod

It's a classic post-wat thriller from the pen of Graham Greene (which originally dates from 1939), but the new movie version of Brighton Rock is apparently set in 1964, amid the backdrop of the mods and rockers beach fights. Which probably means there'll be some extras work kicking about in a couple of months.

The new movie version stars Helen Mirren and Pete Postlethwaite, alongside Sam Riley (who played Ian Curtis in Control), who will take the central role of Pinkie Brown, and Andrea Riseborough, who will play Rose Brown, with direction by Rowan Joffe. Location shooting is obviously London and Brighton.

Whether it is the 'truly great British gangster film' promised is anyone's guess, but it might be a tasty little movie with a decent soundtrack if done well. You'll have to wait until 2010 to find out if it is worthy of the hype. In the meantime, Amazon is doing the original DVD for under a fiver if you want a refresher. You can find it here.

Adidas classic Airliner bag

There's something timeless about Adidas accessories, especially something like the Adidas classic Airliner bag.

It's a typical 60s-style flight bag, with minimal detail, nothing more than the classic logo and some trimming, coupled with some orginal colourways and of course, a large storage area, side pocket and shoulder strap.

You can pick it up in four colour versions, priced at £30.
