it’s been a wallace stevens couple of weeks for me. one of the most relevant and significant poets of the last several hundred years, there is truly no one like him. although ‘the man with the blue guitar‘ is one of my favorites, his solid voice reading ‘so-and-so reclining on her couch‘ is sublime. the projections, traces of plato, traces of modigliani perhaps? beautiful. by sv
this reminds me of the children’s book the eleventh hour, an obsession of mine many moons ago. well, that intertwined with some monty python gags and a murderous rampage. the song isn’t so bad either. stefan nadelman, a job very well done. by sv
can: above the german art rock band with holger czukay from the 1970’s
the doors in studio with jim morrison
deep purple with original lead singer ian gillan
thanx for the ian gillan post nk. here’s the crazy thing, this track from deep purple, which i had totally forgotten about, performed on german TV, with altered lyrics to include “, mickey mouse, steve mcqueen and everything”, had light bulbs suddenly popping over my head. highway star is such a cross-over with bits from the doors (amazing organ riffs, not to mention the uncanny resemblance of ian gillan to jim morrison), and bits from the can’s signature jam sessions (despite less experimental and more musical here) plus the added madness of richie blackmore’s guitar solo at the end. its quite fantastic. by dd
just check this out and blow your own mind. ian gillan performing child in time with orchestra at the royal albert hall back in 1960. by nk

a dear friend of mine sent these to me this morning, this is a must watch for all human beings. feynman was not only one of the most absolutely brilliant minds of the past several hundred years, he was as handsome as he was a badass bongo player. the perfect man? yup. by sv
now that’s a sweet love song as a farewell gift. by dd+cp

this clip has only been seen by 12 million people, and i wasn’t one of them until now, but i love it. i wish i was there, up there, if not then under the sea… canadian astronaut, chris hadfield, was up there and he has been tweeting everything from how to make a sandwich in space to pictures of earth from strait of dover to london-town. this is his farewell piece on his way back to earth, a cover of bowie’s space oddity in zero g. i wonder what i would have done if i was up there… probably a version of planet claire with pp! by dd
daft punk never looked this good. sorry hedi.
the power is in your hands in starshift, a film by our friends the dynamic duo santiago and mauricio. inspired by 8-bit video games and their dad’s all time favorite film, kubrick’s 2001: a space odyssey, the siblings created the interchangeable shorts featuring a helmeted hilary rhoda in four striking looks. her custom made, high-tech headpieces were added in post-production. “we wanted to explore beauty through a playful lens by creating conceptual helmets that would encase facial creations,” says santiago. “they’re a metaphor that makeup can be a shield to combat everyday life with.” and hell, do i need a shield to fend off everyday life… by uh
