I've heard from a lot of people how great this film ( Who Is Bozo Texino ) is, but have yet to see it. So here's another chance in NYC. And if you're in the mood for things old-timey and western, there's a pretty cool slide show on the NY Times website about modern cowboys. They are photographed (with the same technique as the original era of the Great West) and get a chance to talk a bit. ::: Bill Daniel's "Mostly True" [...]

Friday night is a busy night if you like good art. Personal favorites of mine are showing work in three different places all on one night.

(photos from the Miss Rockaway Armada's time in North Adams, MA) Going to toot my own horn for a second (cause like my friend says "Who else is gonna do it for you?"). You can see a photo spread of my medium format work from China in the new issue of Death & Taxes . It's a nice mag, with fine design and production quality. Also this is kind of interesting , seems like the RIAA's era of organized-crime-style extortion [...]

(Monotonix, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, Double Dagger, and Power Douglas [members of TV On The Radio and Dragons Of Zynth] at Death By Audio this past weekend) The Monotonix show was pretty fun. I was really curious to see what the TV On The Radio/Dragons Of Zynth collaboration, Power Douglas, would be like. It was kind of noisy, jangly, but more than anything it seemed to be a cathartic exercise for the two members of the aforementioned bands. About midway through their set David Andrew Sitek grabbed a mic and ranted about the miscarriage of justice (or [...]
(photos from Being Here Is Better Than Wishing We'd Stayed , and installation by the Miss Rockaway Armada at Mass MoCA , larger photo gallery of the installation here ) Well we have finally finished our stay and installation at Mass MoCA. Being Here Is Better Than Wishing We'd Stayed is now open through April 2009. We all had a blast, and are extremely grateful to the museum and it's staff for offering this opportunity. Spending time together with some old, and old-new friends in [...]
Being back in Brooklyn = more parties! And you've got two to chose from tonight (rock VS dance), unless you are of the ambitious do-it-all party-hopper type. I think I am getting too old for that, personally. But I will probably change my mind when it gets warmer and my bike gets less rusty. ::: From Chief Mag : We're having a dance party on Friday!

A good friend of mine and Ninjasonik frontman, Jahjah , is throwing a weekly over at Happy Endings (previous home of the Shit Hammered party). Now that I am back in NYC, this seems like a good way to get back into the swing of things. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: Pretty nice remix here, happy and upbeat, good for gettin' your Spring on. • Dre Skull - I Want You Back A band's place in [...]
(photos from the still-in-progress installation Being Here Is Better Than Wishing We'd Stayed by The Miss Rockaway Armada at Mass MoCA ) It's interesting building things with materials that spiders go running out of when you pick them up. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: One thing that can be a pain about making posts is all the different things I have to complete (title, photos, content, mp3). Not just a [...]
(photos from a little field trip from Mass MoCA during installation) We're in the final week of installation at Mass MoCA . The crew is really together, even if we have a mountain of things left to accomplish in time for the Friday opening. No matter what happens, it already looks pretty darn cool. Now just wish me luck teaching myself how to turn slide shows into looping DVDs and we are one step closer. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: This is one of the bands [...]
(the second half of Skull By Skull Now, a full gallery can be found here , and yes it is VERY 18+ please) Figure now is as good a time as any to post the list to date, seeing as we are passing the halfway mark for our time here at Mass MoCA. - Being in the museum late at night, when no one's around. - "Ol' Stabby" stabbing "Knife Knife" at the Sol LeWitt's assistants' welcome party. It was okay though, Knife Knife cleaned up all his own blood. [...]
(photos from Skull By Skull Now in Austin, part one of two, gallery to come) So I am finally catching up with some of the crazy stuff from March in Austin. To the Skidmarxxx credit, this is the first time in the almost four years I've been doing this that I have had to break up something into two posts, that's how awesome it was. This is part one, the bike part. Part two is coming, the backyard moshing and mud wrestling part. Get your pants back on, get comfortable, get ready. [...]
(The Death Set and Matt & Kim performing at the Lo-Fi in Baltimore, more photos from the show and touring with Matt & Kim here ) It's a funny thing when you realize you are having a discussion with the head curator of a major contemporary art museum, while wearing a t-shirt with lots of penises on it. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: This is the closest thing to a dedication you're likely to find on here. • Hush The Many (Heed The Few) [...]
(photos from Slaughterama 5 in Richmond, more photos here ) Slaughterama 5 is up. Only took a few late nights post museum-building-time. Not as much bike stuff in there as I had expected, but way more bands/boxing stuff than I had imagined too. Still working on the installation here at Mass MoCA . It's kind of great to have a neat project to pour myself into along with such an amazing crew of people to [...]
(photos from the Miss Rockaway Armada at Mass MoCA) I escaped from New Orleans, a little worse for wear, traveled down with Matt & Kim to Slaughterama in Richmond, had a blast, and am now working on an installation for three weeks at Mass MoCA . I am here with members of the Miss Rockaway Armanda creating a space that will be on display for a whole year. You can read more about the project here . I'm looking forward to it. Three weeks stationary in one place with a potentially amazing installation to [...]
(photos from lovely New Orleans, including the Termite & Vine squat and performance by the Little Lambs) Things have been quiet around here, and for good reason kind of. New Orleans was an interesting trip, with veritable ups and downs. But after spending an evening in Orleans Parish Prison I had to admit defeat (more on that later, maybe). Some great kids in NOLA, and it is truly one of the most beautiful and unique places in America. However it kicked my ass so I got the hell out. Headed to Richmond next for Slaughterama [...]
(photos from Chief Mag's mud wrestling event at Galapagos with Ninjasonik, full gallery here ) Well, while most of my photos from the past week of Austin fun are M.I.A., it does give me a chance to post these photos that I had totally forgotten to put up before I left town. Chief Magazine threw this little shindig in Brooklyn, and well, it's pretty self-explanatory really. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: No idea why I wanted to post this, but it [...]
I woke up this morning to get my SXSW pictures posted, and discovered that my ipod/external hard drive had mysteriously "disappeared" all of my SXSW photos, along with my shots of the Skidmarxxx first Bike Kill/mud wrestling party (yes it was as awesome as it sounds). Just like that - Poof! So no SXSW or Skidmarxxx photos for you guys, or anyone else for that matter. Sorry. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: In light of recent circumstances, things might be a bit quiet around here for a [...]
