My friend Shaun Flynn designed one of the best show posters I’ve ever seen, a lattice portrait of Asa Osborne of Zomes and Lungfish, for a recent show headlined by a Daniel-Higgs-fronted Skull Defekts. Read more

Word On The Street is a fascinating, frequently updated blog of street interviews mainly of random people in New York City. I’d love for Peter Madsen, the freelance writer behind the blog, to come down to Baltimore sometime. There are some really interesting characters around here.

James Pobiega aka Little Howlin Wolf was an iconic figure in Chicago, playing sax and blues on the streets of the Windy City for decades until he moved to Baltimore. Now he’s a fixture here, and he’s quickly become one of the many unforgettable characters that makes this city so amazing. Read more

My good buddy Jake Freeman has his first ever tape out on Ehse Records. It’s a little sampler of the layered, tantric, psychedelic textures and feverish compositions Jake’s been working on for the past few years. Get it! All tapes come with hand-made inserts made by Jake himself.

Baltimore artist Jackie Milad, born of an Egyptian father and Honduran mother, explores social behavior and non-verbal communication with her conceptual work, drawings, and performance. Read more

Sewn Leather is the one-man noise-punk project of Griffin Pyncant, who moved to Baltimore not too long ago. This shit is more punk than punk, designed to irritate and infuriate. If you want to know what’s going on, this is what’s going on.

Shameless self-promotion: Baltimore artists Jordan Bernier and John Bohl are working on a silkscreen book that will feature art by an array of other Baltimore artists, including yours truly. Each copy of the book will also come with a limited edition silk-screened poster. Read more

I’m surrounded by really amazing people here in Baltimore. One of them is Bethany Dinsick who does ethereal loop-pedal folk (I posted about her before). The other night, she performed with the Baltimore Experimental Dance Collective. It was really amazing. Check it out in the above video.

I recently mentioned C. Spencer Yeh, and coincidentally, he came through Baltimore a few days later. He played two separate shows, and I only got to see the second one at The Bank. Read more

Dan Deacon has somehow managed to become a divisive figure without actually doing or saying anything controversial. Apparently, the cartoon voices, his psychotically happy and celebratory music, his big glasses, his physique, his whole vibe pisses off a lot of people. Good. That’s what punk rock was all about.

I just saw the Eugene von Bruenchenhein exhibit at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. It was incredible and I fully believe he was channeling some ancient, alien memory from millions of years ago when we were all stardust. Read more

The guy who I replaced in my apartment was a great multimedia artist who sadly committed suicide. It really affected my friends and everyone around me, and it was a great loss for the Baltimore art community. Nudashank Gallery recently had a retrospective and celebration of the life of Waltr Carpenter, who made some really kick-ass shit while he was still with us. Read more

The Bolton Hill neighborhood of Baltimore is beautiful and kind of posh with its gorgeous 19th-century buildings, but there aren’t a lot of businesses there so I was surprised to find a good-looking farm-to-table bistro there — the restaurant scene in Baltimore is sparse and hit-or-miss anyway. Turns out, b – a Bolton Hill Bistro is great. Read more

I’ve plugged my buddy Andrew Liang before after he had a solo show at the Wind-Up Space in Baltimore, but I’ve been digging through his blog and finding incredible images I hadn’t seen before. Seriously, I am in awe of him. Read more

North Carolina-based company CityFabric offers t-shirts with figure-ground diagrams of various cities printed on them. I’m waiting for them to make a Baltimore one.
MakerBot just unveiled their new 3D printer model with a bigger print surface and the ability to print two colors at the same time. At $2,000 it’s not quite in everyones price range but if you’ve got the cabbage, how awesome would it be to have this new toy on your desktop?
The photography of Marie Ek reminds me of flipping through an old personal photo album. She captures fleeting moments of life in such a poignant way that inspire reminiscent thoughts of distant memories and nearly forgotten dreams.
The Hatton hotel epitomises Melbourne cool. Those who value design, location, and luxury will find The Hatton the perfect Melbourne base. Read more
As someone who thinks more about traveling than actually gets to do it [damn, it should really be the other way around], it was good to come across the latest batch of Wallpaper* city guides the other day. Living vicariously through the pages of the Berlin edition at least made my next choice of holiday destination that much easier. Read more
I adore the band Health and am left fascinated by this glamorously bouncy We Are Water remix by Canadian duo Azari & III, who have taken it to outer house-space. It’s pure 80s late night disco at its finest. Ghost Buster meets Short Circuit, anyone?
