Charlotte Gainsburgh [music video]
It’s a Dada brainfuck directed by Keith Schofield that features a dinosaur in a wig (in a bathtub), a giant rat getting held up at knife point, a dude in a SpongeBob costume getting tackled by the fuzz, an astronaut with pancakes for a head, a guy racing a flying axe, a dude chilling on [...]
Bad Moon Rising [San Francisco/Internet Art]
I’d like to bring your attention to some interesting internet-only exhibits via my friend and sister, the hardest working students at CCA. (Arden and Katie).
To say that the World Wide Web has changed the way Americans go about their daily lives is an understatement. From methods of communication and information exchange to product marketing and [...]
Free books on Copyright [sources for open source]
Certain smarty pants (I’m looking at you James Boyle) are stepping up to write accessible, interesting, and essential works on the depressing state of copyright law/file sharing/free culture. Things are not good, and everyone should know not just the base headlines “Teenager sued by RIAA for $15,000“—but the facts. I now refer to Boyle:
It is [...]
Marketing and Public Performance [commercial flashmobs]
Photo via
Scene: Grand Central Terminal, NY, NY. Rush hour. Friday: Thirty people stare with mouths dumbly agape at an awkward team of Liza Minelli-lookalike dancers prancing up a stairway. Many record with their cellphones the robotic and sexy dancers who for some reason are both in Geishaface and carrying laptops like Vanna White would have [...]

Pistol Youth – In My Eyes [golden girls face-mix video]
Never heard of the band, don’t particularly like the song, but the music video is fantastic:

NFL Musical History: Musical Misadventures in the NFL began in 1984
During a recent trip I took to San Francisco I picked up an incredible piece of musical history. It’s a single (vinyl) from 1984 of the SF 49ers singing “We’re the 49ers.” [listen]
This record signaled the beginning of an alarming trend in which football teams produced their own music. It started with this, in 1984, [...]
Shoe throwing…
This is all the backstory you need.
Let me direct your attention to a friend of mine in Damascus who chimes in on the recent shoe throwing incident:
There is a lot to say about these shoes, and the gusto of Muntazir Az-Zaydi. It’s a subject that will get play in the press for weeks now – [...]
Today is black Friday but it’s ok.
GM and Chrysler are brands of yesterday. The Nikkei dropped like woah, and now the real crash has begun. May I recommend we all take a deep breath, and hope Detroit does not burn to the ground, that the petrodollar does not vaporize before the holidays, and that the lord of unbacked currencies watches over [...]
Photograph Of Jesus by Laurie Hill [video]
At 6 minutes long, watching this entire film felt like an enormous task simply because I was on youtube. I’m so used to skipping between clips and such, but this short film about peculiar requests made by visitors to the Getty Images collection got me hooked. It’s a whimsical neo-animation adventure that plays in the [...]
