It is a miserable February day. The drafty windows are letting in a full wind from outside, as my throat is becoming scratchier. The music starts, my eyes weigh heavy on the cover art – a boat with tall sails and masts floating on water. I am reminded of the rain hitting the roof and [...]

Sans Terrabyte
Bathed in a dull blue light, the soft spinning of the hard drive does no longer registers to the screengazer. Like a marine and his weapon, or a Baptist with a bible, the screengazer and computer begin to resemble each other in kind; for the latter it is aesthetic, and the former, kinetic (the movement [...]

“Rhythm Is Gonna Get You†– Gloria Estefan

Artist:
I just want to freak out. I want to put my head in my pillow and scream at the top of my lungs until I turn blue and pass out. Better, I want to do that exact thing, minus the pillow, but in the middle of a crowd. The passerby will think: “wow, something must [...]

the Trackstand
Trackstand is a misnomer. It creates confusion by implying that there is a single point on which a cyclist can stand on the bicycle that will allow him to balance in perfect harmony.True, there is a “sweet spot†that he will come upon, but will quickly lose it, and then find it, and then lose [...]

Artist:
I invite you to reflect with me on symmetry. To be more specific, i invite you to think about a tonal-temporal-spacial-economic-politcal symmetry that has one side (there are usually, but not necessarily, two phenomena involved in symmetrical relationships) effacing itself and the other side premising itself on the existence of the relationship that is being [...]

Foppish Dandyism [CanonCanonCanonCanon]
-
Artist:
Foppish Dandyism is going to be the next comprehensive youth trend. It is going to wash away hipsters, emos, goths, and jocks in a sea of frills, guffaws, port, prancing, and unflattering quatrains about the inordinately large waist sizes of other American youths. Call it Wandervogel or Post-Ultra-Romanticism, but either way prepare thyself. This guy [...]
