Links I feel are beneficial to your well-being. I know it’s hard for you city-folk to venture into Brooklyn for an afternoon, but catching Brooklyn Museum’s “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present” exhibition before January 31st is a must. [via BK Museum] I’m not sure my decade started on Jan 1, 2000. It started, more appropriately, on Sept 21, 2001. That’s when I snagged a “Study Abroad In Spain” brochure from my community college, ran home, and told my parents there was no way in hell I would miss the opportunity. I’d say the 90′s ended for [...] Mexican graffiti artist Saner will be heading off to España to douse walls with paint in the way only Saner knows how. [via Juxtapoz] Whether you shoot your tequila (rookie!) or savor your Aztec nectar one succulent droplet at a time, there’s hopefully a soundtrack blistering in the background of your watering hole, cheering you on and making you prance around like an idiot until you drop to the floor, exhausted, dry heaving, with one shoe on. Working in [...] New York City, Boise City, Salt Lake City and now Paonia/Montrose, CO. It’s been a hectic six days. But don’t think I haven’t made time to sift through my RSS feeds. It’s like rummaging through dusty paperbacks at a closeout bookstore…except virtual. Ahem. Links! This is all you need to know about the soon-to-be-hippest-blog-in-town: recent new [...] Hunter S. Thompson used his loudspeakers in Aspen, CO to blare out “Mr. Tambourine Man”. He’d shoot his .357 Magnum too, but I’m not investing in gunpowder. I’ll just stick to acoustic guitars and harmonicas. In the case of The Doors, let’s allow Ray Manzarek to shoot the hilltops, shall we? Blue skies hovering above [...] UK-based Nigerian artist Yinka Shinobare wants to talk about European colonialism and African identity via provocative, humorous and decadent sculptures. Exhibition runs until September 20, 2009. [via The Fader] It’s raining in Los Angeles, but I don’t mind. The rain is cleansing the air of its potent rankness. Lazy days. Planning to visit SURU and Scion Gallery next Monday. There’s a possibility of frugal adventures this weekend. Through experience, I’ve come to find that $3 whiskey is ghastly, but effective. From the web: AP found [...] If there’s one lasting regret I have in my short 27-year tenure on this earth, it’s never taking the time to interview and record my late and great grandmother. For a Web 2.0 blogophile, it’s a shame I didn’t isolate time on my trips to Los Angeles and record a simple fifteen-minute session with grandma. [...] As the story goes, I covered a GOOD Magazine party at the National Museum of the American Indian in Downtown New York City September 29, 2007. I schmoozed with editors, drank a lot of free vodka and ultimately ditched any possibility of a story when I met a beautiful belle at the now infamous digital [...]
I caged myself with the inclusion of only five tracks in yesterday’s podcast. I’m thankful for more than five tracks! What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Who are your favorite American musicians? I would have included Rage Against The Machine, but I’m terrified I’ll toss my Mac out of my window while [...]
The best part of waking is when I stagger to my laptop, open iTunes and rummage through the near endless options for listening. Every morning offers a unique mood and I’m sure we all have great music to share. What do you listen to in the mornings? This is Whitney. She’s my ex-roommate from when I lived in New York City. Whitney once decided to make her own pasta without a roller in our kitchen. Once she convinced me it was a good idea to carry a couch from Elizabeth St. & Broome St. to Mulberry & Broome St. and then walk [...] I Hope We Arrive Safely I recorded some clips on the way to the airport last week and added some tunes. This is basically a test to see if I know how to add a podcast to the blog. Enjoy. I wake up. Google feeds. One thousand websites to scour for the best story of the day to duplicate, repackage and sell to Latinos. We have to make sure it’s “digg gold.” We can’t use “newsy.” We can’t use “flowery.” We have to pitch to everyone. Sell Gawker a story they already wrote about it. [...] The previous entry reads “January 27, 2008″, or roughly eight months ago. This blog was created in the early dawn of 2006 in order to provide a catapult for an idealist rampaging throughout the world in order to embrace whatever idealistic tendencies were directed towards being a citizen of the world. Then in early 2007, [...] |
