Purchase Counter Culture at Christie’s Punk Rauction

Mick Rock’s shot of David Bowie
Christie’s is having an auction next month for a large amount of rock and roll memorabilia and collectibles.
I can’t wait to have cash in the future for my generations’ Christie’s auction, which will be of 80s metal bands, Wu-Tang and other hardcore East Coast rap from the early to [...]

A Sneak-Away Bed

“Laters,” he said as he lingered at the window.
Her eyes looked moist, but he knew it was only the reflection from the TV, which was playing a VHS copy of “Faces of Death,” she had rented for him. It was hard to believe that only an hour ago he had been trying to pull [...]

Die Jugend - MGMT

“The Youth”
Directed by Eric Wareheim

Eric Wareheim’s lo-fi, public-access, children’s show-centric sensibilities find a home with MGMT.
After exploring fantasy communes deep in the rainforest with the guys from Showbiz Pizza on “Electric Feel” and being somewhere between Burning Man and an 80s video installation with “Time to Pretend,” (both directed by Court 13), Eric takes [...]

Shade & Water For the Weary

.people
A shadow war in Pakistan
A forgotten war in Afghanistan
Iran is next
Palestine is always under fire
Northern Ireland too
Africa (if the country is rich in resources)

Advertising I saw recently.

Man & Woman Buck & Doe

How can something so basic be so complicated at the same time?

Cat Comedic Film Festival

Meet one of my roommates, Ava. She doesn’t like very many people. She likes my Sister, my Dad, and me. That’s about it. She also likes getting into trouble.

Now My Clothes Are Starting to Smell

Friday Evening at around 2:00AM, I find myself walking down Delancy St in the Lower East Side with a See by Chloe purse slung over my shoulder and a smaller dark blue leather handbag clutched in my palm. I also have three scarves draped around my neck. Not that it is that cold outside; I [...]

Out For This Season: Men Carrying Purses

I was in New York two weeks ago. I was in New York three days ago. I may be back next week and I kind of want to be here for Halloween. What to do, what to do?
I was NOT in jail and I WAS carrying two purses down Delancey on Friday night.
Why was [...]
