Yacht: the coolest band around?
by I’ve always liked Yacht. Psychic City’s lackadaisical Tom Tom Club Street Pop blew my mind. But I just saw them live again, touring for their new record, and it blew me away. Jona is now leading the band and Claire is front and center. Imagine Brigitte Nielsen fronting the Rolling Stones. Synchronized dance moves, sincere crowd interaction, and a positive, deeply spiritual message that you can dance to. Yacht is the coolest band around. I love you, Yacht.

Louis C.K’s awesome comedy series Louie
There is a gut-wrenching honesty to Louis C.K.’s comedy that makes it impossible to stop watching. One might describe Louie as a more relatable Curb Your Enthusiasm, but that would do the writing and the show a disservice because Louie is a real person (not a Hollywood bazillionaire) and seems to crystallize many universal but taboo ideas about life and death: like when little kids act like dicks, the reality of a bully’s home life, or the vindictive scare talk of the Catholic church. It’s all woven seamlessly together in a profoundly funny and honest way. Also, Louis C.K. directed Pootie Tang, so, he pretty much is a genius.
Kenny Powers is an epic, archetypal character living out one of the greatest lost-glory stories of all time. I’ve watched it three times now, and it keeps getting better. This is a crew that has hit a sweet spot, and it’s inspiring to watch their creation. Read more
Parks and Recreation starring Rontanamo Bay
I wanted so badly to like Parks and Recreation when it first came on; but it not only lacked funny, it was also pretty snoresville. So it was with great trepidation that I resumed watching Season 2, after hearing people everywhere say: ‘It’s really funny’. And now I say to you, dear reader, it is really funny. Read more

New York and Zurich-based artist Urs Fischer’s entropic sculptures and installations blows apart people’s expectations of what to expect at a gallery. Last year’s installation, You, at Gavin Brown was a 38-foot-by-30-foot crater dug into the gallery floor. His huge, ambitious works seem frantic and impulsive despite the immense planning and meticulous execution they often require. His mockery of physics, and the enormous scale and shock-and-awe quality of his work suggest the god-like potency of an artist, at least within a gallery space. Read more

I’m one of those people who lament the death of analog film as a medium, not because I romanticize the process, but because I love the unpredictable imperfections inherent in non-digital formats. Read more
This song for me is inspirational in two ways:- the actual live performance and the song itself. The song had never been played before. The guys that were playing together hadn’t met before and had only known each other for two hours. They managed to create a musical vibe and a beautiful song that made the audience and the two performers interlock in this musical whirlwind.
What to wear to my openings is always a difficult one. Should I dress-up or wear the paint stained clothing worn producing the work? This time my problem was solved quickly as I discovered the perfect dress from A Name Is A Label. Their pieces have a sculptural appearance, constructed predominantly from second-hand clothing. The label is about ethical, new-century awareness.
