amster(dam)dam

officially launched last week: amsterdamdam …contains over 800 images from the Dam Square in Amsterdam. The sources of the website are seven historic and various private archives…

a wonderful idea and very well executed too (link via the designer himself: the very talented ‘hans gremmen’)

well well

one shop which i pass everyday in amsterdam is local ‘vinyl junkies’ paradise waxwell records

a record store with a small window space that has always been used to maximum effect with a series of 24 sleeves either based on a colour (queensday orange) or a theme such as ‘covers featuring fruit’ and so on… it’s one of my favourites to look out for (images borrowed from their facebook page)
