should you feel bad about trying to get into the Met for free?

No. They are rich, you are not.

tilda swinton is a cuckoo pants

"Museum staff doesn't know she's coming until the day of, but she's here today," a museum source told Gothamist (who also took some fun photos.) The performance, titled The Maybe, will remain "unannounced" and "random" and will last for a full day when it happens. Swinton (who's done this before in London and Rome) hasn't said anything about the piece, and MoMA's official comments only confirmed that there would be "no published schedule for its appearance, no artist's statement released, no museum statement beyond this brief context, no public profile or image issued. Those who find it chance upon it for themselves, live and in real — shared — time: now we see it, now we don't." via

this is the internet.

You are looking at, more or less, a portrait of the internet over an average 24 hours in 2012—higher usage in yellows and reds; lower in greens and blues—created by an anonymous researcher for the "Internet Census 2012" project. (via)

get with the nytimes

someone just figured out that there is a rabid trend spreading out of brooklyn, and it's called "cuntry ladies". guess what, ladies who are not taylor swift who make country music are getting their shit together and making music i want to listen to. and the new york times finally noticed:

Even with the same goal the two take different approaches. Ms. Musgraves’s assault is full frontal. Her indictments come with names, or at least a boatload of identifying details. They’re about the enemy. Ms. Monroe’s, on the other hand, are sung into the mirror. They’re about the enemy within. (via)

listen to kacey "muscovite" musgraves and ashley monroe today!

"we in the mud"

check out this awesome article about Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

"It's amazing how from when I got here to where we are now," Randolph says. "The fans have embraced us. The city's behind us. The games are crowded and almost sold out. I love this city. I can relate to them. If they trade me tomorrow, I'm still going to be in Memphis. I'm still going to be paying people's utility bills from wherever I'm at. It's always going to be my city." 

 For Gasol, this is the only way it can be. 

 "I don't think there's another way to play basketball," he says. "When you play in a city, you have to play for the people that are there. You're representing them everywhere you go. When you play in Denver, or L.A., you have Memphis across your chest. 

 I think when you play with that pride and know you're representing people at home, you play with a different mindset. It doesn't matter, it's not about you, it's about your team and the people back home." 

 That's the story of Memphis' rise to a Western power. All heart, grit grind, the blue-collar city with the blue-collar brothers down low.

wiseacre brewing co.

Click here to read this interview with Kellan and Davin Bartosch, some friends of mine who are opening a new brewery in Memphis this year.

I really appreciated the last question in the interview, because Davin's answer touches on an ongoing dialog about craft beer that Kylie and I have been having recently.

 Are you planning to offer tours?

Absolutely. We plan on doing tons of education, because it's extremely important to us. Appreciation and education go hand in hand. This may be a stretch, but take mayonnaise for example. It's really a pretty simple thing, an emulsion of oil and acid. But, if you learn how to make it, and you understand the principles at hand, then you can enjoy an amazing fresh sandwich spread, and you realize that there's much versatility in the world of mayonnaise. Hellmans is just white vinegar and vegetable oil, but you could make it with sherry vinegar and olive oil. You could throw a garlic clove in there. You could make it with lemon juice and peanut oil. You might even go so far as to make it with bacon fat and balsamic vinegar if you wanted something rich. Then you think to yourself, "Holy $@#!, I always liked mayonnaise, but this is the best mayonnaise I have ever had. I can't believe I have been haphazardly coating buns with this stuff and never thinking about what an amazing thing this is. This mayonnaise is an absolutely divine substance." We would love for more people to think about beer like I think of mayo (although it is significantly more scientifically complicated than mayonnaise). That said, I love giving tours. The brewery is a fascinating place and the magic of turning sugar into alcohol is something that should be explained to everyone.

chipotle does the right thing

there was some boy scout event in utah that the local chipotle was sponsoring, but once corporate heard about it they snatched the burritos out of they mouths because the boy scouts are gaycists. or something like that. via

makes me hungry for the gayest burrito i can find (thats carnitas in case you were wondering)

  In an email, company spokesman Chris Arnold wrote: By way of follow up, we have terminated our sponsorship of this event. As I mentioned yesterday, community support decisions like this are made in a decentralized way and this one was inconsistent with our own policy. We believed that terminating the sponsorship and remaining consistent with our policy was the right thing to do, and we have reinforced our policy with the team that makes these decisions to try to prevent similar issues in the future.
