EGOISTE DE CHANEL
90’s commercial for chanel fragrance, pretty cool. by kl
Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally: beach house
auburn and ivory, a mesmerizing track by them, saw them while on tour with cat power and that was an experience for sure. cat of course as we’ve mentioned, in our humble opinion, is the artist of the decade. by xy
prada: sun-shiney for spring

black white and grey, a great film i saw last night and it reconfirmed all my thoughts about robert mapplethorpe. on the other hand, telegram sam is indeed my main man. by dd

tuxedo moon: nothing short of brilliance
‘tv party’ was a punk cable show hosted by andy warhol’s associate glenn o’brien as well as chris stein (blondie’s guitarist). here we have blain (violin) and steven (keyboard) peter (bass). you can get the series on dvd or on netflix, just search for TV party and then sit and wonder what happened to our music where we’re left with so much shit that some of us actually think lady gaga is not that bad. by dd
boby lapointe – framboise
was watching the criterion collection 2nd DVD with interviews on the film the other night, and although aznavor will always be the star of “shoot the piano player” …boby lepointe will always be my man. love the song, the words, the look. unfortunately, the actual version of the song framboise is not as cool as the version recorded in the film by the m. aznavor rhythm section. by dd

the conformist at film forum
bernardo bertolucci’s “the conformist” is on screen at film forum. besides the story and everything that makes this movie on top of every list, it’s worth seeing just to realize how it was and still is one of the greatest references for people defining today’s visual surroundings. it has inspired everyone from david lynch to steven meisel, who totally plundered every single shot of the movie. a must see! btwn us, if you’re in nyc, such a movie is better on screen by pp
adrien brody as the british jerk off in the film summer of sam
i can’t watch this without laughing my head off. this is probably brody’s best dig considering how conceited and full of himself he is. it’s great to see him play the role of a queens’ born, italian, gay, phony punk with a fake british accent. well done. by xy
