EAGLE FLIES WITH THE DOVE: How do Chan Marshall and Bill Callahan agree to decorate?:

So did you know that Cat Power and Smog used to live together? She refers to him as her first love. This was the late 90s, when she would try to play concerts but always wind up sitting in the middle of the audience crying.

During this period he had cultivated a public persona of creepy weirdo…

Behold my new favorite Tumblr site.

2002. Interpol releases their debut album Turn on the Bright Lights. The garage rock revival of the early 2000s continues, and Interpol are the post-punk masters. Dark, powerful, and violent, this album deserves every bit of praise it received.

Also, they have a lot of couches.

The Faces Of New York’s Subway Commute

What did 2012 look like on New York City’s subways? From video journalist Rebecca Davis’s perspective, it was a mix of loneliness, intimacy, exhaustion, and, of course, smart phone-gazing. Davis’s video Commuters 2012 is a voyeuristic glimpse of life in New York’s connective tissue, the subway—hundreds of snapshots of regular people living their lives underground, selected from more than 3,000 photos she took last year.

“So often on the train we bury ourselves in something we’re reading or music we’re listening to and forget to look around and take in some great human drama that is constantly being played out in New York,” Davis says. The best moments in her video are of children and of couples—kissing, laughing, or just sitting there. “I hope it makes people stop and look more deeply into all the different faces and human moments we encounter each day in a city like New York where privacy is hard to come by.”

This became my life recently.

life:

In 1960, LIFE magazine assigned Eve Arnold, who died in January 2012 at the age of 99, to document the days and nights of Malcolm X, the controversial and intensely charismatic public face of the Nation of Islam.

On the anniversary of his death, we revisit her set of photos that surprisingly enough never made it into the magazine. (well, ours at least)

“I like to make films because I like to go into another world. I like to get lost in another world. And film to me is a magical medium that makes you dream…allows you to dream in the dark. It’s just a fantastic thing, to get lost inside the world of film.” - David Lynch

Today is the 45th anniversary of The Velvet Underground and Nico, my absolute favorite album of all time. Little I knew back in 1991 when I first listened to it (yes, that late, shame on me), impressed as I was to learn that beauty, horror, sweetness and despair could coexist in a collection of songs, that one day I would end up singing some of them to my daughters as part of their goodnight routine. A timeless masterpiece.
