oh imani!!!!!!



i haven't heard from imani coppola in AGES! and i'm so glad i was reading through a magazine and some lady said that little jackie is one of her current favorite albums... so i decided to youtube her and i find out that imani coppola and adam pallin are little jackie! i remember watching the video for LEGEND OF A COWGIRL and thinking "this girl is whack!" but she's so fun! i remember her playing the fiddle and dancing on top of the diner counter! memories!

the sound of little jackie is like 60's funk with some good kelis. she has a couple of good videos, but this BLACK BARBIE SONG is off the hook hilarious! ;)

meet the neighbors

so i'm convinced that one of the daughters that live next door (i'm not sure how many people there are in that family) is sneaking home at night into her room through my side of the fence. i've found a beach bag with sandals, suntan lotion, etc on the fence between their property and mine recently.... and last night, i heard a lot of heavy foot schuffling next to my bedroom window around 2am-ish. it was too heavy and sloppy to be an opposum i think.

i hope she's using protection with her harley riding goatee wearing boyfriend of hers (i imagine)! i bet you his name is probably weasel... or tiny.

i'm not in love with a british artist



i've never really been a fan of artist sam taylor-wood.

when i think of her, i think of long panoramas of people in a room... very stage-y, very melodramatic, and very celebrity name dropping. oh, and that sad sad music video for elton john and his cd sleeve artwork...

i am mixed about her work. she's married to damien hirst's art dealer... so she's privy to so many celebrities and creative ideas... so when i see her work, i'm like, that's total nepotism. (on this note: she just announced her divorce to him in september)

i saw her video work called THIRD PARTY when i was in nyc and it's basically you as the third party watching other people, celebs like marianne faithfull watching other people at a party. sorta boringish...



then i saw her work again, this time nudes in weird triptych type style images. i did like this floater. there was a series of them.



i had actually forgotten about her until i just saw her new video piece for a song she sings "I'M IN LOVE WITH A GERMAN FILM STAR."

as usual, she had done her best to disinterest me in her work. too conceptual for me? but at the same time it's sorta lazy right? i dunno. i do feel like this has been done before (cliche, je sais) and she hasn't done anything to really give it a twist.

I M IN LOVE WITH A GERMAN FILM STAR


it does however, remind me of the blond redhead song, TOP RANKING with fellow artist, miranda july and directed by mike mills. the twist is good enough to keep attention for the entire song, unlike taylor-wood's.

roisin murphy in nyc! oct 24th!

one of my favorite singers, roisin murphy is making her us debut in nyc on oct 24th!

i am sooooo bummed out! she needs to visit la or i need to visit nyc!

ugh!

so sad!

if you haven't heard of roisin, you probably are wrong... she used to be in a band called moloko. they sang that theme song to great expectations called ingenue... it's a haunting song and unfortunately it's more creepie since gwyenth paltrow was in it. i kid.

anyways. i love roisin for several reasons. i think she writes the most cerebral disco flavored songs ever. an example is the song overpowered. the song is about oxytocin... the orgasm hormone... as well as the lactating hormone. that's so hot! another reason i love her so is that she rocks the gareth pugh couture shite like it's her second skin. and she dances.

i don't know if i ever posted her videos on here.. but i will now. these three songs are awesome! she also recorded a song with calvin harris called off & on which was amazing and was for the overpowered record but she ended up tossing it.. which is a shame cause i think it's AMAZING!

OVERPOWERED



LET ME KNOW



YOU KNOW ME BETTER

i am impressed

beyonce has always been such a bad dancer and now with about five years of practice, she's finally impressing me big time!

i love the song, the video is awesome with the choreography. simple, and much better than that get me bodied video which looked like a very long kahlua/alize beverage commerical....

i am excited to see what the new bey cd will be! all i know is that i ain't buying it until she rereleased 4 more times with 8 additional cds/remixes... like she always does.... sigh!

Ryan Trecartin

September 10 - December 7, 2008

Ryan Trecartin's videos uncannily reflect his generation, which grew up using the Internet, digital television, and interactive video games. He mixes cheap special effects with absurd narratives in which he and his regular cast of collaborator-friends act out a sort of Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. He tells sad love stories and bizarre family dramas utilizing technology to heighten the action and reflect today's incessant information overload.

In his latest work, I-BE AREA (2007, 108 min) Trecartin weaves together several unruly stories with fast-moving, fast-talking characters that deal with such themes as cloning, adoption, self-mediation, lifestyle options, virtual identities, and larger questions of an existential nature. I-BE AREA screens in the Video Gallery on the hour, every other hour.

This exhibition is organized by Hammer Curator Ali Subotnick.

i don't think this is funny at all.

okay, first off, i am NOT a member of peta. i actually don't care for their tactics. but i also don't think this is funny whatsoever. is this male machismo at its greatest? apparently everyone thought that this was funny in the locker room.

alls i know is that i ain't laughin'.


Jets locker room is 87% stinkier since Brett Favre's arrival

By MJD

That overpowering stench of death in the Jets locker room? Oh, never mind that. It's just a rotting animal carcass that Brett Favre stuffed into a bag and put in Eric Barton's locker. From The Fifth Down:

Favre is notorious for shenanigans involving lockers, and since his arrival to the Jets in August, the tradition has apparently continued. The latest victim? Barton.

Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton’s locker.

Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton’s locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.

A wild turkey? That's not a bad guess. I think it was Ken O'Brien.

Whatever the unidentified murdered beast, I guess it's a good sign for the Jets. It's like that old saying ... you know you're starting to feel at ease around someone when you feel comfortable enough to kill an animal, put it in a bag, and stash it among their personal belongings. In his own special way, this is Brett fitting in.
