Pavement Reunite! How about a re-run?
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
According to The New York Times, Pavement will reunite for a series of shows, and play Central Park in September 2010. My feelings about Pavement are mixed. I think Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is one of the best albums of the 90's. And I like a lot of songs in their other albums, but none of their other albums stick with me the way that one does.So I'm posting a link to my previous post about...

A Little (3fer) Toxicity from the Artists Formerly Known As The Beach Boys...

Artist:

Album:

Track:
Well, hell, they are still known as the Beach Boys, but there was at least one Wilson present during these recordings. One only wishes it was the Wilson that co-stared with Tom Hanks in Castaway. And castawayt is what these songs should be from the Beach Boys catalog, perhaps inspiring some island culture into insipid mediocre lowest comon denominator music that will play wonderfully pool sid...

Tokens, Memories and Getting Served a Little Humble Pie...

Artist:

Track:
I had one of those nights in which it seemed a single song could flood me with a blast from the past, and put a tear in my eye at the same time. My wife's grandfather has recently been put in a home due to an onset of dementia, and the inability of his wife to care for him if he were to fall again. While this may be sad to some, I really have had little connection to him, and while I've alway...

Fuck Your Luddites - Friedman on Sabotage
I just discovered that early skateboard/hardcore/hip hop photographer Glen E. Friedman has a blog. I guess this isn't surprising, since everyone and their mother has one, but I'm always impressed when one of my hero's has one and waxes polemic.An interesting post on Glen E. Friedman's Blog "What The Fuck Have You Done" on Robots vs. Luddites

White People

Artist:White People
Sometimes you just look around and certain amount if normalcy or predictability in your life make you sick. You kind of wonder what's up, and why doesn't anyone give a shit. Allow me, if you will a simple rant. My apologies to those without a sense of humor.White Peopleare happy play drums along to some live music by a reggae band fronted by this guy:But not before stopping here:or here:in

Now In Infinite Jest -David Foster Wallace (1962-2008)
I don't know what I'm more shocked by - the suicide of writer/meta-fictionalist David Foster Wallace, or the surprising lack of coverage of his death. I mean, Wallace style of incredibly descriptive prose, ridiculous amounts of footnotes, and playful use of punctuation was somewhat prescient to what the whole blog-o-sphere is today.In the monster book, Infinite Jest, there exists a movie that is

And Now We Turn to the Comics page..
Here's a little something I worked up a couple years ago. I guess you can see who I really think benefits from all these copyright battles (My apologies for it being so hard to read. I will post a better quality version later this evening).

Against Me - "Up The Cuts"
I checked out this album from the library, and I'm really digging this track right now. here's some second hand smoke I remember catching from the blogosphere (all of which is completely arbitrary and without citation). Against Me! has a very loyal following. Some people think they have sold out with this record, or they've moved to a major label, and it's that same ol' same ol' cry from the

Hobo! - The Musical
Harry Partch (1901 - 1974) is probably a lesser known legend in the world of "classical" music. I put the term "classical" in quotes because it, unfortunately - like the term "modern", usually tends to refer to a composer or type of music that uses orchestration. In reality the Classical period is the time in art from 1750 - 1820 [1]. But I digress...Partch was the type of American genius that

I Love Process Part 5 - Al Jaffee, King of the "Fold-In"
For anyone who grew up devouring Mad Magazine, such as myself, you may be thrilled to hear Al Jaffee is approaching his 400th Mad Fold-In - the back cover gags that allowed the reader to line up the points of a picture and expose a punchline.Al Jaffee is one of those cartoonists whose creativity knows no limits, and I'm am always happy to see that he is still so vital and creative in his old age.

I Love Process, Part 4 - Rolito and Patapon
Few games have ever been based solely on the work of an artist or designer. Sony's Japan Studio has based the game Patapon on French artist Rolito (real name Sebastien Giuli) comical 2-D silhouette tribal eyeball like characters called Patapon's. A wild, and addicting romp of a game that shows just how much is still to be explored in the making games that have total immerse experiences in the
