Triphallus, To Punctuate! - Of Montreal

Prue called me at 2am to tell me that she was at a party and had put on Skeletal Lamping and it hadn’t gone down well. She was outraged, and although I had been fast asleep, I was completely sympathetic. Being unenthusiastic about this album is utterly perplexing. People who don’t like it need to be publicly shamed, lined up in the town square and mocked mercilessly. There is obviously something wrong with them and being humiliated and abused is the only way they will see the error of their ways. It’s also the only way I’ll be able to get some sleep.

The Beatles “Revolution” (Live on the David Frost Show)

Once again, today marks the 40th anniversary of the Beatles’ self-titled “white album.” Yes, I know this is the single version of the song, but c’mon.

This is gonna sound like the proverbial “it’s raining!” or “it’s cold”but,The Beatles were really great.

I cannot not reblog this peoples.. I am not the biggest cat and/or dog reblogger, but this is totally priceless. Like a John K. cartoon or something. This is all about the reactino shot, and how the two dogs’ placement is perfectly consistent. Hilarious!!

Just saw this at Ad Hoc Art-the gallery round the corner from my place. This one blew me away. See this for the artist’s comments.

brieflynoted:

One of the reasons I’m so drawn to film, and aspire to be a filmmaker, is simply the power behind a story well told. There’s so much opportunity to open up to a new perspective or emotion that maybe you’re not so used to exploring. Of course, overall film aesthetics matter, but when you break a film down to its core - the story and how it speaks to you is most important, at least it is to me.

In the case of Slumdog Millionaire, director Danny Boyle delivered a beautiful film that had a pace, energy, and dare I say, heart that kept me transfixed. The film is a modern day fairy tale that triggered every sort of emotion - sadness, anger, hope, happiness - in such an authentic, original way. I’ve yet to travel to India, but I felt its spirit last night in each vibrant, skillfully ensembled scene - everyone should see this film.

Can’t wait!! Just watched one of my favorites-Boyle’s Millions-the other night. I love how every movie he does is of a different genre.

Huey Lewis and the News - The Power Of Love

Huey Lewis and the News’ Greatest Hits is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.

this song = Back to the Future. I have no other association with it.

Wiley’s new track, Cash in My Pocket, features one of Columbia’s artists, Daniel Merriweather on vocals. On Monday we are filming our own version of this….

This is cool.

I missed this one. Very interesting. It reminds me of the recording of TS Eliot reading The Wasteland. They both have that very upper crust English round-sound accent going on. (Yes, I know Eliot was born in the USA.)

Bionic Commando lunch box. Unfortunately, despite featuring the cover art for the classic, “real” Bionic Commando, this limited-edition item can only be obtained by preordering the new 3D one from GameCrazy. GameStop is offering totally sweet patches.

Between this and Bionic Commando Rearmed, I’m starting to get pretty irritated that I have to get a next-gen system to get in on all the retro Bionic Commando stuff.

Yayoi Kusama

Her painting No. 2 (not shown) just sold at Christie’s for over $5 million. According to Charlie Finch the fluxuating art market is having little effect on some top women artists* “The auction record for a shimmering 1958 Yayoi Kusama confirms that women artists, having escaped the branding obsessions of male chauvinist collectors and dealers, will have their works jumpstarted in a down market by the old verities of taste and innovation. During the past week, for example, Louise Bourgeois held strong in the $3 million vicinity, a gorgeous Joan Mitchell painting attracted heated interest, and Cecily Brown, whose ribald hymns may happily replace Hirst’s descants of death, also performed well.”

*Which is awesome.

I have always loved the photography of Anton Corbijn. He uses grain often, and very well. He, Avedon and Frank are the ones that made me want to be a photographer. (All I need is to replace my stolen camera now…anyone got a spare Leica laying around?)
