The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga

Osamu Tezuka has often been called the Walt Disney of Japan, but he was far more than that. Tezuka was Disney, Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Tim Burton and Carl Sagan, all rolled into one incredibly prolific package and he changed the face of Japanese culture forever. This lavishly packaged book reveals what made a shy doctor one of the key figures of 20th Century pop culture. Packed with stunning, never-before-seen images, it tells the story of Tezukas amazingly prolific life, and connects it to his manga and anime work. Tezuka created hundreds of characters, many known worldwide, drew over 150,000 pages of art and scripted dozens of movies; he created graphic biographies of Jesus, and the Buddha yet a huge amount remains untranslated into English. The book is accompanied by a DVD with a fly-on-the-wall documentary, The Secrets of Creation, made in 1986 and never before translated or shown in the West.

Available through Amazon, The Chronicles of Cool recommends that everybody throws this onto their Christmas list.

Puma 2009 Halloween Sneaker Pack

After three months out of the loop, The Chronicles of Cool is back running. With Halloween upon us, Puma have launched a special Halloween sneaker pack. The first design is the Basket Boo, which is made up of a white leather base with a ghost graphic on the sole and back. The other is the Mr Bones Mid, playing on the scarecrow theme, the trainer is packed full of checked fabric and shows of crude exposed stitching. The Halloween 2009 sneaker pack is available at selected Puma retailers

Fred Perry: 2010 World Cup Polo

With the World Cup in South Africa looming, and with the countdown beginning, Fred Perry has introduced a Polo Shirt, similar to the anniversary for every team involved. Not only are we at The Chronicles of Cool hopeful that England qualify so we can see our footballing heroes grace the pitch, but also the fact that if England don’t quality then neither does the shirt from the collection. Although the Polos don’t hit the stores until 2010, its something to look forward to besides the football.

The Bloody Beetroots

The Bloody Beetroots are an Italian Duo of Bobby Rifo and DJ Tommy TEA, signed to Dim Mak Records, they have been pumping out their own blend of Electro Indie for the last two years. The Chronicles of Cool have been in love with them for a while now and they first came to our attentions after putting their touch onto Robyn’s ‘Cobrastyle’, since then they have collaborated with WeSC Headphones, making music gold with The Cool Kids and giving their helping hand to launch 55DSL’s 15th Birthday. With the release of an album coming out this year, entitled “Romborama”, The Bloody Beetroots are definatley worth a little look…

LMFAO

After browsing the internet for fresh new tracks for hours, The Chronicles of Cool stumbled across an absolute gem in the form of LMFAO, an electro-hop duo of Sky Blu and his partner in Rhyme, Redfoo. From Hollywood, LMFAO have brought a different dimension to the Electro scene, with club bangers including La La La and I’m in Miami Bitch, along with touching up the likes of Kanyes ‘Love Lockdown’ and BEP’s ‘Boom Boom Pow’. They aren’t touring Europe at the moment, so in the meantime have a little dabble…
