GK and her Pips present the Best Song nominees for
the 1975 Grammys. Gladys actually SINGS them, in turn,
making the original performers appear a tad less talented.

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion
I've been listening to Animal Collective's latest while
cleaning my just-moved-out-of apartment of four years.
The two experiences compliment one another...both
are echo-ey, cavernous and a little melancholy.
Truly, a great album. And how 'bout that nauseatingly,
trippy album cover?

Adult Swim DVD Cover Design
yes, I am a sucker for packaging. especially
DVD packaging. I even considered buying
the reissue of SALO, which I could probably
never stomach to watch again, purely on the
basis of it's design.
so on the advent of the release, on March 24th,
of The Venture Bros. Season 3, I'm showcasing
the consistently rad artwork that Adult Swim
has been implementing for its equally rad
cartoons on DVD.

Brad Pitt on the cover of W
ok. so I could go on about celebrity, image, mortality and all sorts
of other theoretical hoo-haw...but the meat of this matter
is a kind of humbling honesty and
an alternate take on "naked celebrities". way to go, W...
Chuck Close...and, of course, Brad with his gaping pores
and eye cream-deprived wrinkles.

Nicholas Di Genova
his website bio reads, "Nicholas was born in 1981. He lives
and works in Toronto." short and sweet, but what it leaves
out is... 'he's awesome'.

La Blogothèque's Take Away Shows
whether it's Liars and Tapes N' Tapes using the inside walls
of an elevator and a foosball table (respectively) as drums,
or the stripped down, organic a cappella harmonies of
Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear, these voyeuristic (and, at times,
down-right claustrophobic) videos ("short films"?) are fer-seriously
worth a fine-tooth combing.

Dick Shawn in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
I love, love, love, love this movie. Just watched it again yesterday
for the gazillionth time. If you've never seen it, rent it, Netflix queue
it, whatever. just see it.
In this clip, Dick Shawn (who you might remember as the lead in
"Springtime for Hitler" in the original The Producers) is oblivious
to a ringing phone as he acts like a complete maniac with his
facially stoic go-go-ing gal pal.

New York I Love You
I just watched the horrible new Muppet Christmas Special tonight.
Paul Williams just should have done the cameo and
left the music up to LCD Soundsystem.

BLÜTT at Atomic Sketch Event
I got a Blütt!
this month's ASE yielded some great work.
the featured artists this month created a triad of awesomeness.
Blütt shared the walls w/ Czr Prz who collaborated w/
a sadly absent BonuS...BonuS, where Art thou?
it was a great crowd. Dominic said he's superpsyched
about January's panel...so be there or be...artless!
My Blütt score (kinda looks like W.S. Burroughs, yes?)...

The Starn Twins at David Weingberg Gallery
(me being snarky)...I guess when you get older and have kids
you stop cutting up pictures of Jesus then taping them
together again and start taking pictures of snowflakes.
(me being honest) I had a smile on my face the
whole time I was ogling them. we all claim to
have an eye for detail in nature, but this show
sheds a little light on how we tend to be
oblivious of nature in detail.

I'm clearly feeling a little "gift-minded" this morning. I literally almost got goosebumps when I realized that the throwing stars were magnets...and the pant clips?... they have J. Stander's name written all over them.

MUJI
MUJI is the next big concept design store import to hit NYC (5 locations there and counting) and leave the rest of us in the country buzzing about it (remember IKEA and H&M?). the site is attractive, cryptic and not yet accepting stateside orders (UK catalog HERE)....but the minimal design fetishist in me is keeping its eyes and ears open for a Chicago store...tho I suspect L.A. will get it first.
