#29 (Jul/Aug 2007) On the Road

Over the past years, we’ve surveyed the Danish creative scene, dodged bullets in the former Yugoslavia, and caught the hustle and flow of South Africa’s hip-hop movement. If you’re anything like us, you have a problem keeping still, and it’s when we’re traveling that our hunger for new, fresh experiences is sated. And yes, it’s true—with the American dollar a bit impotent and airfare to Europe topping $1,000, this summer can be a bit of a bitch when it comes to international gallivanting. That doesn’t mean you need to stay at home. Plenty of options exist for the scrappy and economical traveler, from the brand-new carpooling service at GoLoco.org to CouchSurfing.com, a social network that’ll find you a free place to crash from Montreal to Marseille. Use this issue as a guide and an inspiration for your own travels.

MUSIC

Anthem visits Devendra Banhart in the canyons of L.A. before tagging along on Gogol Bordello’s tour bus. Plus, a sneak peek at Vampire Weekend, the Iranian musicians of Hypernova and Philippians.

LIFE

We investigate why the British are so damn hilarious (and check in with the masterminds behind Nathan Barley) before heading Down Under for surveys of Australia and New Zealand. Then it’s off to be charitable in Nepal and to try to figure out Kosovo—plus a cross-country photo project from Jason Lee.

FILM

Daft Punk takes on the film machine, and Cillian Murphy retires from zombie fighting to help reignite the sun. Day Night Day Night’s Luisa Williams gets her well-deserved moment in the fashion spotlight, and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s heady films come back to life.

STYLE

From the streets of London to Australia and New Zealand, in this issue we jet set around the globe to showcase leading design that could quite possibly be these country's greatest exports.
