Mobile Record Store
Jack White’s mobile record store. Crazy stat leads off the vid. Turns out 97% of high school students have never been to a stand alone record store. So Jack and his label The Third Man are taking it to them with their new mobile record store. Like a book mobile but for records.

Kid Koala
We recentally finished a new RADAR ep on Kid Koala.
Most people know Kid Koala as a world famous DJ and turntablist. But the soundscapes he composes are only one element of his expansive creative universe. His newest project, Space Cadet, is a sketch-board graphic novel about an astronaut girl, her guardian robot, and their adventures through space. Partly inspired by the recent birth of his daughter, Space Cadet is accompanied by a hypnotic soundtrack, recorded late at night so he wouldn’t wake her. Kid Koala explores a wide variety of instruments and visual tools to craft this wintertime lullaby and storybook.
