cover me

Hi 'n' Lo,

A new Ruben Ortiz Torres video just showed up on youtube.
It's described by it's author as:

"The missing link between Brancusi, constructivism and the low rider pick up movement of the late eighties and early nineties."

I think you could also add Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Fernand Leger to that list.








Last up, is the first work by Ruben Ortiz Torres I ever saw. I guess it's his most famous.

It still looks and sounds good after all these years, especially on youtube.

It belongs mixed in-between a whole list of low bit rate rips of constructivist/futurist films and 3gp's of radical beds and hydraulic hops.

old new scarface... porn?

calling planet earth

cock

mercy seat

this song has been an obsession of mine as late... and by that i mean off and on for the last several years... and by this song, i suppose i mean nick cave in general... but with extra emphasis on this song... or not even...
and here is a cash version...

if yer not completely over it, this is an amazing live version.

you should also check out shivers by boy's next door as well (caves first band when he was like 18 or some shit...).
and then of course there's cave right now...

THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT SONGS OF THE 90'S

Super Mario Bros. Movie

Cory Arcangel and paper rad 2005




Cory Arcangel re-works entertainment technology

I saw a couple of his hacked NES consoles in Zurich last February.

If you still have an NES console, a copy of this is available on a Nintendo cartridge from his website

binge, cringe

i was kind of a weird teenager. "yeah, yeah, so was i," i can hear you say. let me explain...

during the summer of 1992 i listened to two albums, back to back, several times a day, every day, over and over all summer.





i took my walkman and these 2 tapes EVERYWHERE. we vacationed on the florabama coast (aka the redneck rivieria) and i would stay inside the condo listening to my skinny puppy/wham! loop while my brother and sister were soaking up the sun.

for a teensy little taste of the fun i had that summer, watch these videos. i've included the infamous "banned" video for worlock, my favorite track off the skinny puppy album. i didn't know too much about them at the time, but apparently they were staunch vocal opponents of animal cruelty. interestingly enough, i stopped eating meat that same summer. coincidence?

unfortunately i couldn't find a video for credit card baby, one of my favorite tracks off the wham album. i did find a homemade video for heartbeat made of clips from my little pony tales, but in the end i decided to go with this rainbow-soaked lip synching dance party extravaganza performance of freedom.

enjoy. and then enjoy again. and again. and again.

hey young world...the world is yours

this is one of my favorite old school rap tunes

Santogold video: "L.E.S. Artistes"

...i'm super into the use of special effects (blood packets, camera angles, explosions, etc.)... but then calling attention to them by using non traditional colors and angles so as to see 'em all different like.

...and since i'm already on this kick, here is another thing i grabbed from them awhile back...
