The first time I noticed their talent was on a friend’s link on Facebook. Next thing I knew, my lips puckered up, my head was bobbing and my heart was pumping as I watched their highly stylized videos. It was like Gummo-meets-rave-techno satisfying. I am talking about Die Antwoord, an Afrikaans zef rap-rave band from Cape Town, South Africa. The first [...]

Every job has its perks but at Fast Horse, we have a few unique ones. For example, each employee receives a “Muse It Or Lose It” stipend to be used for anything that helps spark creativity. We also have the monthly “Coveted Parking Pass” award (which becomes even more coveted in the winter when the [...]

Music is arguably more crucial to human existence than adequate blood flow. Want proof? At Fast Horse World Headquarters, we bicker somewhere between six and 84 times per day about which XM radio station to listen to, sometimes resorting to yelling — all in the interest of finding good music, not because we hate each other. But nowhere to [...]

This holiday week, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite things, from buns to beer. Check back daily for the view from our little corner of the Warehouse District.
Today: our favorite treats. Every creative agency I’ve ever visited runs on some variety of sugar and fat. Whether it’s M&M’s, Doritos, Coca-Cola or pizza, it takes [...]

a festivus arose!
All joined the celebration,

The October issue of Wired Magazine has a very interesting article on how to use common office items to create “Tiny Weapons of Fast Construction.”
Basically, the article describes how you can make a bow and arrow out of a ruler and rubber band and then use a ballpoint pen as your arrow.  It also describes how to turn [...]

I’ve been requested to write this POST (as I’ve been asked to call it, instead of BLOG), by one of the other “creative” people here at Fast Horse.  I put “creative” in quotes because everyone here thinks that they’re creative and we all know there are really only one or two of us.  (If you’re [...]

One of the delightful features of my southwest Minneapolis neighborhood is the historic trolley that runs between Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun. The Como-Harriet Streetcar Line is operated by the Minnesota Streetcar Museum. The museum also operates a second historic streetcar line in Excelsior. They’re remnants of what was once one of the best streetcar systems [...]
