Hyped: This Week In Links 11/11

Busy week? Here’s some things you may have missed.

Florence + The Machine joins our growing list of Creators, watch our video of Flo and the gang recording their new album in Abbey Road Studios. On the blog we looked at French illustrator Jean Giraud, who creates worlds full of erotic robots soundtracked by heavy metal. Honda released their latest update for the robopocalpyse, in the form of the unerotic Asimo—he can walk down stairs and everything. We also explored the origin of Scanner and UVA’s Origin, got bug-eyed over Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee’s body modification gear, were awed by shoppers swimming with dolphins, and opened our ears to Chicano krautrock.
