vaginal davis is one of my art heros and a major, lifelong inspiration. she has an art exhibition in stockholm that spans 5!!!!!! museums called magnificent product. it is more than remarkable to see a body of work that spans more than 40 years be more exciting today than ever before. she has the ability to be politically astute, sexual, funny, heart breaking, bizarre, literate, crass, culturally cutting and culturally embracing. her work is magic in the truest and most literal sense of the word in that her work will change you. installations, film, painting, photos, collage and writing that is worth any effort to go but buy the catalog if you (not unreasonably) cannot important sections of the exhibitions are in collaboration with CHEAP and Jonathan Berger.

if yr ever in atlanta for an extended period of time, check out videodrome, our only video rental store in the city ! they have an really cool collection of international, arthouse, independent, and mainstream films (currently im going through abbas kiarostamiâs filmography)
thereâs something so refreshing about seeking out and consuming media without the influence of the internet, away from algorithms that tell you what yr supposed to likeâitâs nice to browse around and take the ownership of yr own art consumption back in yr own hands

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because itâs cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. Itâs not really anything special visually but itâs a beautiful institution and itâs so fun to be there â¤ď¸
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loewâs Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! Itâs pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but itâs a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

streaming music is fucking dumb. it sounds like ass, a person who doesn't know anything about music programs a robot to tell what you should like, it makes music extremely disposable and therefore meaningless and it is 99.99% theft from musicians. however things that are fucking dumb and the music business were made for each other-so if that is what it's going to be, you might as well use a GREAT streaming (steaming) platform. Radiooooo is a map of the world and timeline of decades. you pick a country and pick a decade and music from there and from then will play. 1990s Algeria BOOM! 1940s Brazil ZAP! 2010s Czech Republic BLAMO! 1960s South Korea ZORK! it is curated by music fans not an algorithm and you can set it at slow, fast or weird or all three. if you have to drink poison at least drink bitchin' poison.

as a band we have a healthy collection of pedals, not as many as some but certainly an interesting selection. one of the most curious new ones we have is the Lossy by Chase Bliss. There are lots of degeneration pedals but this one specifically emulates shitty early digital/mp3/cdr/internet dying types of sounds. though based on past technology, it is an unsettling device as makes the sounds of our current, failing civilization's most recent problems: an over reliance on inherently bad communication methodologies and representations. it makes sounds that are bad for you but in a charming way. it reminds you that the end is high nigh but the pedal is bright pink so it will be a cutie pie, cartoonish kind of smashy smashy ending.

Animalia is novel by French author Jean-Baptiste Del Amo and it may be the best book i have ever read. It is set on a family pig farm around WWI and in the 1980s and is RIFE with disgusting beauty, shocking physicality, unusual astoundingly imaginative turns of events and both wonderful humanity and wonderful inhumanity. the writing is dense but never tedious as are the emotions and feral motivations it explores. i found myself laughing out loud not at how funny it is but at how incredible it is. i wish it were 3,000,000,000 pages long. it is his first work translated into english and my bandmate, who introduced me to it, is learning french just so she can read his other books.
