new BRIGHT BLACK MORNING LIGHT

look at this great album cover:





bright black morning light are my favorite hippie band.
their self-titled debut on matador is a rainbow blackhole opening on any couch
and it came with spectral marijuana glasses.
i mean, come on.

their new album drops in SEPT
it has a song on it called "hologram buffalo"
and was recorded completely with solar power.
they are playing in Denver on Friday (go see them if you aren't going to see Tables & Chairs at the meadowlark)

LANDSCAPE WITH FLATIRON - TABLES & CHAIRS

Soft pulses and melody in the key of flight and oceans.

The Original Fierceness....

while I admit I'm a a sloppy, casual, modernist, I can't help but yearn for the fabulousness of old school celebrity photography. If you are in NYC for the next couple of months you must check out Focus on the 70s: The Fabulous Photography of Kenn Duncan on view July 30 – October 25, 2008

e-MANcipate!

Sure the men-in-tights thing was all over the F/W '08 runway, but apparently its a movement. Thoughts?

A few things:

first of all, i love the flaming lips



so when i saw this on PITCHFORK.TV i knew i had to post it


they've been working on this movie for years and years
in their backyards and at home
it looks really out there
and kind of jarring
but i am pumped none-the-less to see it.


also, while i was on pitchfork.tv i found a few other gems

FIREWORKS/ESSPLODE - ANIMAL COLLECTIVE (LIVE)


THE PERFECT ME - DEERHOOF (LIVE)


FOOLS - THE DODOS (LIVE)


also
i have a floor-tom fetish

I know I'm a lil late

but this beat is still just too fucking good

Taco Tuesday!...

They keep your brains on the inside.

The bicycle has become the new bangle this summer, but with added hazards. The last thing you want it to be looking fabulous cruising down Franklin (the new bedford ave) and get hit by a drunken polski and have your dome splattered all over the street. Grab a helmet.. maybe something similar to this lacoste helmet.

I can understand if you haven't been wearing a helmet because of the lack in fashionable options but now you have no excuse. If you're working on a budget try to find a used horse riding helmet.

Ears for eyes
