BIG gets a shot

tell me how you really feel...

jerry saltz did NOT care for the bjork show at MoMA and seems to be kind of mad in general:

That sadness has mushroomed into dejection of late. Since 2004, when it reopened in its bland new Taniguchi building, many art-world conversations about New York museums circle back to and then plunge into people's pain, anger, sadness, and frustration about the Museum of Modern Art. On the one hand, the museum has the greatest collection of modern art on Earth. It always will. Yet not only is most of this collection permanently held captive in storage, what little of it is on view is seen in perhaps the most unpleasant viewing conditions in any major museum in the world — in far too few galleries that are far too small and poorly designed. Then there's the museum's twisted bid to transform itself into something like a multiplex mall, specializing in whiz-bang pop-cultural events. Now comes a Diller Scofidio + Renfro expansion plan meant to fix the problems it created in 2004, which looks much more likely to exacerbate them. (via)

bjork - you only live twice

a fashion post

nymag compiled a list of the 50 Most Scandalous Dresses in History. i flipped through and liked it and thought i would share it with you.

Some highlights:
Lady Gaga meat dress
J-Lo slutty Versace Grammy dress
Monica Lewinsky's cum stained blue dress
Bjork's swan dress
etc, etc

that's a pretty good impression.

spotifriday

I made my first spotify playlist!  Come on over and listen to Nordic Tracks, a tastefully crafted assortment of artisanal music petifores from those ice covered tall and blonde countries.  Special thanks to Kiki for helping me remember so many different artists.

You know, I heard joe paterno picked up nordic tracking once he put on a wig and stopped covering up child rape.

stream the new bjork

over here!

what a freak.

i don't quite understand exactly what this means, but bjork's new album, biophilia, will have an interactive ipad app, where you can manipulate her songs. this is a demo of the app for "moon":

the 'moon' app is a musical sequencer that explores the similarities between the cycles of the moon and tides with sequences in music. change the phase of the moon to control the number of notes, and change the phase of the pearls to alter their pitch.

download the app

sometimes you can be too good.

i laughed for the entire length of this sketch.


why do some mountains look like presidents?

i wish hulu would give me a break with this hpv nonsense.

about that iceland volcano...

i was listening on the radio this morning about why that volcano has wreaked so much havoc on all the euro-airplanes. did you know that it shot fucking GLASS into the sky? glass. that is some bjork shit.

if the glass gets into an airplane engine, it will get real hot and melt onto the airplane parts, and that thing will fall right out of the sky. terrifying.

also, it's invisible:

While satellite photographs from above show the cloud to be dark and menacing, it remains largely invisible from the ground. Reporters in Paris, London and Frankfurt said Friday that the skies overhead were blue and mostly clear. (via)

creepy! and it's still erupiting. and all the trains are booked up for days. so.
