The Twilight Singers: Dynamite Steps
by This past month, Margot opened a tour for Greg Dulli and company across the U.S. Dulli has always held a certain place among my favorite singers. Having been a big Afghan Whigs fan, it was a privilege to share the stage with him each night.
I have enjoyed past Twilight Singers records, especially Blackberry Belle, and their fifth studio album stands as one of their best. Melodically, I’m not sure there is anyone out there who can work one chord better than Dulli. On The Corner, Get Lucky, and Dynamite Steps are stand-out tracks.

Café Gratitude restaurant in Los Angeles
I was lucky enough to have dinner with some friends before our Los Angeles show, and they took me to this one-of-a-kind organic, vegan restaurant. The menu was diverse, and it seems to be the most environmentally and socially conscious establishment around (they have their own farm for starters). With dishes named I am Extraordinary and I am Transformed, you kind of have to play along, but they seem to be 100 percent behind their mojo. Read more
One Day In The Life Of Andrei Arsenevich
A work that softly bears the mind-blowing revelation that criticism can itself be art: as lyrical and spiritual as that which it seeks to understand. A poetic investigation by one of my favorite filmmakers (Chris Marker) of my absolute favorite filmmaker (Andrei Tarkovsky), the documentary glides through Tarkovsky’s own blissful and contemplative mis-en-scene, intermittently surfacing in beautifully muddy VHS footage of Andrei working from his deathbed to finish The Sacrifice.

Marshall McLuhan famously states The World is a Global Village
Marshall McLuhan was golden lamp-stand who shed a contemplative light on a stubbornly anti-contemplative structure; a structure that parodied and willfully forgot his message, and therefore remains doomed to continue in blindness until it wakes up in a shock at the realization of its mirrored essence.

Sometime in 2010, the folks behind Dirty Dishes had the slightly silly idea of using cheeky vintage photos and putting them on dinner plates. After doing lots of research, talking to lots of people, and receiving loads of positive feedback, they wondered if this idea was so silly after all. And thus Dirty Dishes was born. Read more
