The Futureheads

How come nobody told me about the Futureheads?  They sound exactly like XTC without the boring bits.  Fantastic.

Hot New Bar Freezes Patrons

March 15, 2005

SINGAPORE -- The new hot spot in Singapore is leaving patrons in the cold.

The bar's big draw isn't so much its drinks or location but the temperature inside. The bar in the sweltering city contains a decorated, industrial-strength freezer that keeps the temperature between 28 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's cold enough to keep the staff wearing heavy coats and ski caps, and patrons get a 10 percent discount if they show up in winter wear.

There's also a "chiller" room, where the temperature is a more normal 64 degrees and an outdoor area for those who can't stand the cold at all.

The idea is so popular the owners plan to open another one soon.

Does anyone have any info on where this bar is or what it's called?  There's definitely a bar like this in Hong Kong - could it be that this is a story from the U.S. where the reporter has failed to grasp the difference between Hong Kong and Singapore?

UPDATE - The bar exists.  It's called Eskibar and it's in Tanjong Pagar.  I suggest another Neverhappening at Eskibar... Date TBA...

Mi-Zo

Cheerfully bizarre designers/artists/fashionistas from Japan, Zoren Gold and Minori Murakami.  I'm thinking Zoren may have been imported to Japan from somewhere else, though I really have no idea and can't be googled finding out.

Sewdorky Donuts

I've been lucky so far, I haven't seen one single donut shop in Singapore in five years.  Considering I was mainlining Krispy Kremes within three days of being in New York I count my blessings.  Now I've gone and seen these donuts you can buy online.  Not Krispy Kremes, but delicious anyway.
