(mass) cultural (pop)ulism...david lynch + lana del rey

2012-01-31T20:12:00.010-05:00

i suppose i am not the first to make the connection...i.e david lynch or lynch-esque influence on music or more precisely lana del rey. mmm. both tickling the underbelly of americana at it's most wholesome --- steeped in film noir conventions almost to the point of romanticizing them. kinda makes you think:

a gentle lamb? or a wolf in sheep's clothing?

At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that’s like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void.

tacita dean filmed 3 days of merce cunningham's rehersals of one of the events.

merce cunningham never saw the completion of the film.

i love his aesthetics. his taste/styling/him weaves between a sense of contemporary nonchalance and 19th century-esque controlled elegance.

and although very masculine, i can't help but want to take all the clothes and details (from his styling tearsheets) and wear it in a feminine way. oh & i dig the love for indigo.

it was such a horrible time in history for south africa and the world.

i watched last night, on PBS,

connie field's documentary: "have you heard from johannesburg"

there's something kinda amazing going on with yukimi nagano. she is the lead singer of the swedish band: little dragon. the band was formed in 1996. yukimi's father is japanese and her mother is swedish/american.

she has this shy yet strong presence and her singing style reminds me of leonard cohen meets

OP8.

and i love the way she dresses!

oh & she, recently collaborated with gorillaz (aha damon albarn!)

just so you know 168 + chloë sevigny

2012-01-21T09:48:00.003-05:00

maybe it's 'cos we're both east coast?

similiar childhood?

we have similiar filmic/cinema/music/90's references (i.e harmony korine, sonic youth etc)

or that we sound like bored cats when we talk...

but i think i get chloë.

my early birthday gift + a lucky chance

2012-01-18T21:17:00.004-05:00

i was a charity shop the other day...and came across these two cups.

they caught my eye due to the fabulous shade of blue. & i thought, a little gift

for myself, for my b-day.

when i arrived home i checked the back stamp on line:

not bad for 50 cents for the pair.
