Steve Wimmer is doing super nice portrait work in Middletown, DE. Seen here doing top notch work with a custom built tattoo machine by yours truely, Kevin Riley.
Great little promo video for the wonderful artist Steve Wimmer. Check it.
Aw, my K-bot made that machine. And Steve is a nice fellow.
I’ve posted this on the Facebook page before, but I haven’t posted it here yet. It’s important and brilliant and I love it more than most things on the internet. Sierra DeMulder performing “Paper Dolls”.
This is hard as shit to watch, but you should watch it anyway.
Fugazi all all all day.
i have indeed been listening to Fugazi all day today.
and there’s something about this performance in particular that continues to blow my mind. it was part of an anti-war protest in Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, in 1991, a few days before the first invasion of Iraq, and i cannot imagine such a thing being allowed to happen now. nor can i imagine any other bands trying.
This is fun to watch and think about where I was in 1991. Also: Fugazi rules.
(I was in 2nd grade. Miss Adcock’s class; she hated me.)
words can’t describe how awesome this is. such talent!!!
Hahn-Bin, who uses only his first name, said that defying genres in this manner is an intrinsic part of his personality. “I have never identified as Asian or American, boy or girl, classical or pop.” “What I choose to wear or how I choose to express myself visually is equally important as the music itself.” “Fashion teaches spiritual lessons. It has taught me who I am and showed me what I didn’t know about myself.” Hahn-Bin said that his use of fashion is part of an attempt to make classical music relevant to a younger generation, a modern day Naomi Claus one would say.
For his 2010-2011 concert season Hahn-Bin introduced The Renaissance of Classical Music, an umbrella title for his performance projects which aim to bring classical music to a new generation. Thus far The Renaissance has included Soliloquy for Andy Warhol; his first solo performance series at The Museum of Modern Art, The Five Poisons; the recital project inspired by Tibetan Buddhism at Rubin Museum of Art, Hammer Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Morgan Library and Museum and Konzerthaus Berlin, and Still Life; the world premiere of Christopher Cerrone’s new violin concerto, written and commissioned for Hahn-Bin by New York Youth Symphony, a performance which marked Hahn-Bin’s mainstage debut at Carnegie Hall.

I’m pretty sure queerphonics meant Klaus Nomi, not Naomi Claus.

Oh happy day! A “mass email” from Justin w/ this link and other goodies.
My buddy Justin talks about the documentary about him and the Toynbee tiles which have appeared all over the eastern seaboard (and abroad).
Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel playing live at Occupy Wall Street
(Chills went down my spine when everyone shouted the lyric in Oh Comely, “We know who our enemies are!”)
Also, this happened. Wow.

I am very, very into Pendleton. Just look at my “pendeltonesque” Pinterest board!
Bicycle Coffee Co. delivers fair trade, organic locally roasted coffee by bike at the same price point as their non fair-trade coffee competitors.
This is a video I made in which I walk around with the proprietor of a blog that makes fun of Boulder…and we make fun of Boulder.
At the end of the piece, I place what I believe to be the most pretentious coffee order in history. I think I succeeded.
Lee, you know I adore you, but I am a coffee professional and I would have punched you in the throat if you said that shit to me.
