WatchThe Art Museums - S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.
From RSTB: “RSTB fave Glenn Donaldson (of Skygreen Leopards, Giant Skyflower Band, etc.) teams up with fellow Friscan Josh Alper to form The Art Museums. The duo embraces the soft pastel sounds of new wave on their upcomming record Rough Frame out 2/16 on Woodsist.”
I enjoy everything about this band.
The Guardian UK: Vancouver's Olympics are heading... →
‘This manic mix of hype and gloom is a byproduct of the games’ utter pointlessness. For those who have been planning their resistance since 2003, Vancouver is about to become the world’s premier political stage. It will be the best chance yet for the Olympics to be derailed and exposed as what they are: a corrupt relic of the 20th century that does little more than gut city...

– Oh man, that’s a pretty hilarious title. Wait, do Americans know the band Prozac? I always thought it was kitsch Canadiana.

Gareth Long Untitled (Seymour) Edition of 4 + 1 AP
From a series of nine lenticular prints called Untitled (Stories) based on the four paperback novels of J.D. Salinger that use and manipulate the iconic but anonymous cover designs. The six-foot prints reconfigure and animate the brightly coloured geometric lines of the book covers, suggesting the modernist art historical precedents of abstract...

I think that perhaps what we should be taking out of this whole apple tablet kerfuffle is that it’s kind of batshit silly that so many people invest so much of their hopes and dreams in what some computer company might invent. WHOA DUDES. Relax. The hype preceding that product launch was off the hook, as if Apple has been elevated to the position of torch-bearer of human progress....

Because it “Encourages pedophilia” (or as they say, paedophilia).

What sort of perverse psychic alligators are hiding underneath that trap door, Australia?
This is hysterical.
Salinger, #2
agrammar:
One of the chief embarrassments of Salinger fans is that he’s best known via The Catcher in the Rye. Most of them would probably point readers elsewhere — say, Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters, or bits of Nine Stories like “The Laughing Man.” I provide that link for anyone who’s hearing a lot about Salinger today but hasn’t spent much time with him: it’s a nice, accessible story,...
More Das Racist hilarity →
Did you know that Das Racist had a cartoon-off with New Yorker cartoonist Farley Katz after he blogged about them in a slightly derisive fashion? Well, they did. The rules were simple. Each competitor drew:
A day in the life of a rapper.
A day in the life of a cartoonist.
A futuristic utopia where racism does not exist.
If The New Yorker won, Das Racist would have had to quit rap and become...

jenniferanne:
The postmodern subject is evolving towards a subjective condition defined by a borderline neurotic-psychotic state. This subject is increasingly trapped between a latent melancholy (the depression we hear so much about), the impossibility of speaking in the first person, the illusion of omnipotence, and the temptation to adopt a false self, a borrowed personality or even the...
