“Reloaded” because this is the second time that The Pixies are gracing the pages of LMC. The previous occurrence can be seen here. For some reason, I have had the “Surfer Rosa” album on heavy rotation for about the past month. There are a couple of tracks on there that I will mostly likely never … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #105 (Pixies Reloaded)→
Noooooo, not those walkmen (although, they are awesome). Today we are talking about these Walkmen– The Walkmen, to me sound a lot like surf rock meets Bob Dylan. But they are from Philly, so I don’t really know how it’s possible. I guess it is the old tube amps with lots of reverb, and extended … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #104 (Walkmen)→
Happy 311 Day. Friday’s by virtue, are generally pretty good days. But, for me it has been an exceptionally good Friday (so far). I went online to pay bills and saw that our car insurance premium had mysteriously increased for the second time recently. I was a bit perturbed, so I called in and asked … Continue reading 311 Day and some end-of-week links→
I’m having a tough time staying on top of things this week. Here we are a day late with LMC (and several other things). Better late than never? It’s debatable, but here goes anyway. Sam introduced me to this hip hop duo, while he was in town. We ended up listening to a lot of … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #103 (Chiddy Bang)→
Now that I’m looking at these images all in the same post, I’m getting a kind of morbid vibe. That wasn’t my initial intention. It is just some more stuff that I shot last week, and wanted to share. All three of these works were featured in galleries exhibiting at Pulse. The painting on the … Continue reading Mo’ art that I like→
The first art show that we hit yesterday was The Armory. It was massive. Almost too huge. I was exhausted by the time that we left. The shot above is overlooking half of one of the two piers that contained the show. Again– massive. Anyway, a few of my favorite shots from the armory include … Continue reading The Armory and Scope→
Sam B. rolls into town tomorrow. Good times will undoubtedly ensue. Incidentally, there are also grips of art shows going on this week. I will be covering nearly all of them for Curated/HS. So, sorry if you hate visual art. Because, hey, there are going to be some photos of art shows on here for … Continue reading Visita de familia, e exposicioes de arte→
As everyone surely knows by know, Radiohead recently released a new album after taking a break for a few years. I giddily downloaded the album from the RH site as soon as it was available. I really like the whole thing. I have featured Radiohead on LMC before. But, whatever. Why not do it again? … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #102 (Radiohead [again])→
Despite what I like to tell myself, not everything French is total crap. Some French stuff is actually quite good. Phoenix, for example, is pretty decent. I have to admit that I’m not super familiar with their work outside of their most recent studio album release “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.” The album is pretty good. But … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #101 (Phoenix)→
Here is a link to some of the stuff that I shot for NYFW, this time around. One show to go– Rochambeau at the Standard. It has been wild, crazy and fun. But, I’m excited to have my normal life back. Hey, I think I might go running. [Image: Loden Dager Runway by me]
