A wide swath was cut through the Saatchi Collection by a warehouse fire yesterday. Lots of great work lost.. I hope they had some of the older Jake and Dinos Chatman works stored elsewhere. I can’t even imagine what all of that work was insured for. I am sure we will find out though.
Here are some action photos, from Concrete Disciples: +++ +++
I went to go skate this +++ last night, and man am I sore today. The place is super sweet, but you gotta watch out for all the pro-level guys that flock to it after work hours. Saw someone tying to pull a Miller Flip !!! !!! on the big bowl. I will try to find some photos of the park in action around the web, or just go take some myself next time I am over there.
Archinect has relaunched – with a serious redesign, and is much better all around.
The New York Times +++ reports that PS1 has kicked off an online radio station – broadcasting 24 hrs. a day. Have a listen here +++.
$$$$ Map of campaign contributions, by street address and size of contribution, in the cities across the country. Very interesting indeed – not only to see what money comes from where, but that this data can even be mapped.
Just for fun, you should download Fanfare for the Common Man, crank up your speakers, and let that play for a while. Then go back to what ever you were doing. I would do so right now, but I have no sound card here at the office. Shame.
In case you were wondering what my indy-folk-rock project Crocket the Ironmonger sounds like, I posted a few tracks up at Garage Band +++. Make sure you got Real Player, then go take a listen. The latest EP, Ballpeen, is going to be available soon – as free mp3’s or as a CD which I will sell super cheap (just to cover CD’s and paper insert costs). So check back in on that one.
PWEI, or Pop Will Eat Itself, is one of my favorite bands – built around beats, guitar, and about a million samples. They were also early clients of The Designers Republic. For your friday morning pleasure, here is a site that breaks down their sample sources. For some reason, I love finding out where all that stuff comes from.
This Shizzle is back on the Hizzle. Sorry for the downtime, but we are now re-hosted and re-DSL’d. Finally.
A flurry of stuff to come up soon – weekend like. A subtle re-design in the future. Summertime-like.
Takashi Murakami rocks my world today.
