Huey Lewis & The News

My mom got me this clear raincoat. Now I can be two of my favorite movie characters: Amy Blue from The Doom Generation and Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Such stylish murderers!

I found these guys after Claire Boucher of Grimes referenced them in an interview with Nylon. Their album Ruin is SO GOOD. "Here, In Heaven" has such Run Lola Run vibes.

Damsels! In! Distress!

I've been waiting for Whit Stillman's new movie Damsels In Distress for a long time and I finally saw it this past weekend. I had mixed feelings about it. I was excited that one of my favorite directors had ended his 15 year hiatus to make a film AND that said film was about preppy, Northeastern liberal art school campus life (oh golly!) Though, I was disappointed with its grating, often ridiculous plot points (the frat boys don't know the colors?) All of the characters besides Violet (portrayed by Greta Gerwig) are flat and annoying. The main character herself, Lily (unfortunately played by a breathy, overly childlike Analeigh Tipton), isn't even funny. Not even accidentally so. It seems all of the hilarious satire was given to Violet, which is a shame seeing as how Stillman has delivered awesome ensemble cast movies where every single character shines in their own disillusioned sense of pretension. I want more clueless intellectuals! Is that too much to ask for? Or, maybe I really just wanted Chris Eigeman to be in the movie.

Watching the movie, I had the sense that Stillman may have packed the film with too much material. I could imagine him writing down inspiration over the past years for snippets of dialogue in the movie that cover the typical topics discussed by Stillman characters (decadence, proper/invented semantics, the stupidity of young love, etc.) Stillman manages to pack in tap dancing, frat culture, depression/suicide, Catharism, the arrogance of philanthropism, and more all into one film. Each idea on its own could be a movie! Some scenes were hilarious, though most were downright bizarre (the Catharism seems like a strange after thought, and a tap dancing musical number at first feels right in the movie...yet doesn't?) The film also had a strange imbalance of Stillman's usual high brow comedic dialogue and a sort of awkward attempt at a more commercial comedy (i.e. that whole thing with frat boys not knowing colors?!)

It's a return, and I hope he makes more movies (or books! or whatever!), but Damsels In Distress wasn't amazing. It had so many funny moments, but as a whole it was strange and unpolished. Definitely not his best work, but let's be real: can anything be better than Metropolitan?

Art is a word
  • “Art” is a word. Something is art when commonly spoken of as such. The designation has administrative and commercial consequences. It bears no exclusive relation to aesthetic experience, which is promiscuous and wordless.
  • Aesthetic judgment is an extra step of a mind that has registered an aesthetic experience, from which it may be excited to induce a rule. Kant thinks it is a component of the experience. I'm not so sure.
  • Our thoughts are lawyers for our feelings.
  • Some people enjoy judging. I’m O.K. with it, but I prefer love.
  • Aesthetic criteria are retroactive justifications of formed beliefs. Anyone halfway clever can invent criteria which will be seen as brilliantly fulfilled by just about anything. There is no rational criticism of art, only persuasion.
- Peter Schjeldahl

I've gotten into several arguments in my life about the definition of art/what good art is but I think Schjeldahl sums it up nicely here when answering a reader's question about aesthetic judgment. I DIG IT.

~ Samba Love ~

I'm a winter person at heart ('cause my soul is cold and dark, duh) but lately I've been craving summer. I want to sip fruity drinks and ride roller coasters and walk on a beach and just HAVE WARM WEATHER. I live in New Jersey, okay? It's not like that here year round. I'm still in wool tights.


Whenever I want some light, summer vibes I play some samba. Samba is a Brazilian genre of music that, to summarize, sounds like the most relaxing and romantic thing you've ever heard. Every song is like a tropical dream and the instrumentals are sort of hypnotizing. It's nice.

Here's a playlist of my favorite samba songs plus some samba-influenced music from modern bands like Beck and Yo La Tengo.

Jetoy Cats

I am getting more and more Kawaii by the minute, it's kind of ridiculous. My latest super-cute obsession has been Jetoy cats stationary, a Korean line that features adorable wide-eyed cats wearing bonnets and surrounded by flowers, of course. All of the coolest stationary comes from Korea, it's just a fact. Apparently the stationary is really hard to find in the US and judging by my google searches I would agree!

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

India ~ ~ ~ * * *

If you google image search "folk paintings of India," wonderful images come up. Usually I just search "indian miniatures" but folk art brings more color. Gorgeous. I need to read more about them because my art history knowledge in school was mostly spent on European and American art. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has some really interesting Indian/East Asian tapestries as well. I have to remember to go see them the next time I go.

Maud Lewis

Maud Lewis was an artist who lived in Nova Scotia. Lewis always kept mainly to herself and because of rheumatoid arthritis and other physical handicaps she could not work. Her husband Everett, who was a fish peddler, sold her paintings and Christmas cards she had hand drawn as he went door to door selling fish. Lewis and Everett lived in poverty for most of their life, getting by on the fish and her art.



Lewis' style of painting was similar to how you would create a paint-by-numbers. She outlined the image on a canvas and then painted with color directly from the tube, never mixing. Simplistic and beautifully child-like, Maud Lewis' paintings are some of my favorite paintings. I love the snowy landscapes complimented by her use of bold primary colors to paint houses and animals. "Three Black Cats" is a personal favorite. And the painting with the giant cow stopping the car! So funny!

 


Lewis lived with her husband Everett in a tiny cottage that she had painted herself. Because of her somewhat compulsive artistic spirit, she ended up painting on almost every surface in the house possible. After Maud and Everett died in the 70's, the cottage began to deteriorate. Townspeople got together to save the house and in 1984 it was sold to the Province of Novia Scotia and it now resides in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The whole house!


I love art, all kinds of art, though I think the contemporary art world is sometimes moving more and more towards synthetic styles or artwork that, to me, evokes a sort of disconnect between the artist and their own work. Reading about Damien Hirst's dot paintings sort of made me hate contemporary art. I don't hate them for the old "oh my god, it's JUST dots that's not art!" perspective (god knows that's tiring) but I mean, his assistants were just mass producing the dot paintings. It's art, there is no doubting those paintings were works of art. But were they meaningful? What does it mean to be a good artist, anyway?

Sometimes I have to return to artists like Daniel Johnston, Henry Darger, and Maud Lewis to remind myself that art isn't always about social acceptance and monetary value. I don't expect everyone to see the beauty that I see in Maud Lewis' art, but I do hope they see the love and dedication. That's kind of what I'm looking for in art these days.

Teenage Girls Assaulted By Wild Animals! An Interview With John Waters

Remember not too long ago when I posted about this photo series from Rookie that I took of John Waters' home? Well here's the interview! It was humbling and sort of crazy to meet one of my greatest role models. Waters really understands teenagers and the art of taste-making, and his sense of humor is unparalleled, of course! He's such a fantastic and important human being in the art, fashion, and film world. It was an honor interviewing him. All hail the Pope of Trash!

Francesco Simeti
Francesco Simeti is an Italian-born artist who currently works in Brooklyn and Sicily. He makes high art wallpaper, my favorite being a print that was commissioned by RISD (see below) in which he transposed photos of post liberation Afghanistan into a 18th century Victorian wallpaper. In another pattern, printed on a bench, he disguises photos of explosions in a china print. His collages, usually floral and nature scenes, are wallpapered in exhibits or blown up to high-scale proportions and displayed on, literally, any surface possible. Walls, tents, large cardboard structures that he layers to construct a physical faux-natural setting.

MJ Seuss



What. Happened. At. Marc Jacobs.
Because I have NO IDEA what all of this is.
Is it like, granny pimp?

I'm really into those giant scarves that have the giant safety pins.
I'm also into this waffle crocheted sweater and sparkly tinsel purple skirt.
And the chunky, bedazzled Puritan heels were ridiculous.
I am into it. I am into that.

Can't wait to see the upcoming editorials with these freaky furry hats/Dr Seuss vibes as well.

Thanks Marc Jacobs for keeping NYFW weird.

Jason Leinwand
'
Jason Leinwand's artwork is tediously psychedelic, filled with kaleidoscope drawings the consist of flying saucers beaming, eyeballs, suns rising over graveyards, and geometrics that twist and fold into each other to make an Esher-esque maze for the viewer. All of his pieces incorporate a lot of this imagery though it may be hard to find. You have to look closely to see the eyeballs lurking in the mosaic borders of the work or the tiny skulls rendered on the tops of the tombstones. Leinwand's drawings look like posters you would find hanging in the basement of a stoner circa late 1960's, but I kind of love that?

How to say goodbye at an airport terminal
Like, you have your one-way ticket and your bags all nicely packed, but emotions, they're not as neatly folded (are they more carry-on or can you just check them in?), and then comes the inevitable part where you're at the terminal about to express it, except you don't know how to act or what words to use, always just never feels like enough. So here's a handful of ways to say it that let you just smile and hug them while asking "Got that?" Because you want them to get it.

The stuff they used to play in MAC while we waited for our mom to finish work
After school my brother & I would go to the mall, sit in the corner of MAC and wait for our mom's shift to be over. By proxy we learned a lot about how much girls like smokey eyes, Viva Glam, Kevyn Aucoin & LOOKIN' EDGY 101—strange, uncomfortable, boring, intriguing for adolescent boys. Here’s the sorta grunge against R&B jamz they played, a brushstroke @ da times, I guess? 17 tracks all-dressed-up-in-black by Tricky, Alice in Chains, and Missy Elliott that left us melting in our lunchboxes.

Every Day Is Halloween
Between the ages of 17 and 21 I wore black velvet, lace, and fishnet; painted my face white and my lips black; and haunted the dance floors of every clove-cigarette scented goth club I could sneak into. Here are 13 of my favorite songs from that period.

Hanging Out With Ginger Fitzgerald
Ever since Ginger got her period she's been acting really strange. It's not just the sex and drugs, she's been snarling at people and she might have killed a dog...or another girl. Is this just puberty, or does it have anything to do with that giant wolf-like creature that bit her? Here are 10 songs for you and Ginger to howl at the moon to. Just be careful, okay?

Weird since I used 2 hate Sundays growing up. But without sKoOLz aNd hOmEwOrK in the mix, they're kind of the best day of the week now. That's right, I'm lifting my chin up at you, Sunday afternoons. Go ahead and slow crawl all across my grown up face! Spellin' it out 4 u S-U-N-D-A-Y music by The Pillows, The Monkees, and The Sundays – mellowzy stuff that never asks you to "pencil me in" cuz #sunDUH u never should have 2 on a Sundaze.

Music about music!
“I have a lot of songs about other songs, basically. Robert Christgau dismissed Holiday [The Magnetic Fields’ third album] with what I thought was a perfectly fair review: ‘More songs about songs and songs.’ That’s the most concise and true review that I think I’ve ever gotten. I don’t see it as a dismissal. What I care about most in the world is popular music, actually. More than love, I think I care about popular music. I would rather be disfigured than go deaf.” - Stephin Merritt
