this video reminds me of ‘light machine’ pieces by one of our favorite artists, xavier veilhan. i came across these pieces by accident while wandering london in 2003. the grid of light bulbs dance, and you can feel their heat as if they are alive. you can view a clip here. by kl

much respect to the makers, it is not too often i would wanna look at a spot again and again, too bad the actual parties aren’t that cool .frankie valli & the four seasons’ beggin’ mixed up with prodigy’s fire starter back beat including the SFX/compression effects at the end… hell it works… it did for superga ; ) by dd
when we were kids we would get dressed up as kiss, and managed to organize 2 concerts for our bored neighbors and poor families. all outfits where home-made from pajamas, my sister’s tights, the guitars where cardboards glued over tennis rackets and so on. make up was a bit more advanced, with blood capsuls that never worked and silver shadows, of course back then we had no idea what a jerk gene simmons was or how ugly paul stanley really looked. but that was then before family jewels and reality TV stole our dreams. found objects courtesy of pp. by rh

debbie was at one point a dancer at union city and a not so great playboy bunny
in the late 60’s debbie worked as a secretary at the BBC radio’s new york office
this is how they dressed at the BBC back then.
stein and harry named the band blondie after the wolf whistle men often yelled at debbie from passing cars
dirty harry: the coolest image i have ever seen of debbie harry
image by warhol:
debbie’s stage persona of streetwise, sexy, cool became so closely associated with the group’s name that many came to believe debbie’s name was “blondie”
that of course lead to partner, chris steins aggravation an to this now-collector, pin!
so beach-y
nabokov’s lolita-paper back: given/signed by debbie harry and the so “innocent” brooke shields… or actually 2 savvy charlatans since there is no proof of the signatures
debbie harry at her best… love the knee pads
ok so maybe only blondie could save jersey, but even she was originally born in miami (florida) and was adopted by her to-be family in new jersey. in any case KL got us all curious now and we had to search it out. here’s the collage, or rather the barrage, of blondies retro-pix and a quote from debbie in the no exit tour book, hope you enjoy:
“hi, it’s deb. you know, when i woke up this morning i had a realization about myself. i was always blondie. people always called me blondie, ever since i was a little kid. what i realized is that at some point i became ‘dirty harry’. i couldn’t be blondie anymore, so i became dirty harry.” by xy
