This is pretty fantastic.

Disgusting

While the act itself was indefensible , no one would be the wiser had a citizen (or tourist) not been recording the event.

Of course, Critical Mass is no stranger to police hostility.

Here is a can of worms that had to be opened eventually.

This Scares the Crap Out of Me

Fred and Sharon

These folks are either insane and oblivious or huckster hoax geniuses! I can't help feeling these videos are some sort of coded message being transmitted to other extraterrestrials living on the planet.








Paid Access?

Intelligent Design?

On Saturday I trekked over with my friends to Bed-Stuy to see Nate Hill's A.D.A.M. project. Lying on the floor of his apartment was a human form sculpted out of dead animal parts (see if you can find the puppy). While I did get acclimated to the smell I had to pass on the beer.

This wasn't the first bible rewrite creation I've bared witness to, having seen his more delicate sculptures in glass jars, and even naively participating in a gruesome episode of his cable access show. But It still makes me a little queasy every time.

I'll let others pass judgement on the project, but for those that want to learn more visit his site, stoproadkill.org. if you find yourself itching to be an Rogue taxidermist, why not start with the Chinatown Garbage Tour?

p.s. I appreciate the concerns of animal rights activists but please don't leave any hostile comments. I did not personally make these creations and the animals were dead already and would otherwise be in garbage bins.

Still Creepy

Although many of you more adventurous web surfers have most likely stumbled upon these bizarre creations before, I find it important to remind everyone just how bad one's taste can get. Photoshop is a powerful tool. Please use wisely.

Do something better than watching TV tonight.

In Rainbows

I just got my download of the album. Listening to the first track. Bliss.

It's sounding like it will be worth whatever you decide to pay.

Go get it.

About a Son

I think the trailer speaks for itself. I'm more than interested.

Amazing

Check out her paper sculptures and drawings. Brilliant.

Good Morning

To Do

Hipster Olympics

I live in Williamsburg, ground zero of hipsterdom. From the craigslist melees to the newspaper op eds, the debate, fascination, disaproval, and envy of the label has been a constant hum in the soundtrack of everyday life here. Will this phenomenon will ever wane? Who knows, but it still yields some great satire!

Trampolines in Music Videos: Trend or Coincidence

This one brings out the inner geek in me. You computer jockey's know what I'm talking about. (link via Robin)

And this one just makes me smile.

This post has already gone downhill and this is just the title

So i was walking down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn yesterday when I happened upon the now defunct Ex Lax factory. A peek inside revealed a sign on the wall proclaiming "the chocolated laxative" which confirmed my finding.

According to Nancy McKiernan Realty,

"No “cookie cutter” apartment here. This 1200 square foot loft is the unique one bedroom, plus den/office (a potential second bedroom) space that makes the apartment search rewarding.Unique: An all new huge chef’s kitchen with acres of stone countertops, a 5 burner DCS range, Jenn-Air double door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, breakfast bar, and space to prepare a banquet. Unique: A flexible entertaining space that can let your imagination create a configuration that suits your personal style. Unique: 13 foot tall ceilings, 7 large tall south facing windows giving both tons of light, and great distant views. Unique: More closets and storage than you can imagine…a huge floor to ceiling storage room, 3 separate large clothes closets, and a linen closet too.Unique: Located in Boerum Hill in the building-with-a-history, the former ExLax factory, it is just steps to 11 subway lines and all the restaurants and shops on Atlantic Ave. Smith St. and Brooklyn’s Fifth Ave. And the building has an enormous landscaped roof deck for your use."

I'm concerned that she doesn't mention the bathroom.

But that wasn't the reason I'm writing. Atlantic Avenue has a lot of antique shops, some are full of 18th Century guilded crap and some are warehouses for the coolest shit this side of Ex Lax. Boar heads and Chester A Arthur my friends. Well above my tax bracket but fun to look anyway. The site seems to have older pics unfortunately.

Jesus, it's been a while.

I've been in Hong Kong for a bit. It was fun while it lasted but I'm glad to be back in the states.

While I was there I visited Wanchai and went to the Agnes B. Gallery. I didn't know that Agnes B. had galleries. Apparently they also have a movie theater.

Anyway the current show was called "The Changing Face of Portraiture" and featured portraits by people like photographer Rankin, web guru Joshua Davis, and designer Hillman Curtis. The above image of Bruce Lee was by Eboy. Actually most any illustrator or designer who has gotten buzz over the years thanks to the internet was probably showing. It's a traveling show that was born from the book. I believe there were about 100 portraits. Some of them were clever, others were beautiful, but all were digitally printed and somehow looked cheap. Perhaps the medium was appropriate.

IDN was one of the sponsors of the HK show and they have a few more images of the gallery space.

The authority of course would be the WIWP site, check out the impressive list of artists.
