Mary Halvorson Trio at Cafe Wilhelmina

An old friend of mine just introduced me to this trio. I have their record "Dragon's Head"on repeat in the studio. Really amazing stuff. Enjoy.

File Under... American Art (or maybe Colossi)

I saw Richard Serra's "Blind Spot" and "Open Ended" at Gagosian Gallery yesterday. If you're in New York City, please go look at it. In my opinion, Richard Serra is the greatest living American artist. His work is not only beautiful, and meaningful, but it speaks to its audience in a visceral way. It's huge, powerful, elegant, and when you stand near it it seems to affect gravity and time in a way that is physically scary. His work is titanic, and American, but communicates on a level beyond art - its almost like seeing a natural phenomenon. I love it.

File Under... Projects (To Do)

Magic Recipe Book

Write an entire recipe book of magic potions that have been culled from film. For example, watch The Witches of Eastwick, The Princess Bride, The Craft, Practical Magic, any movie where characters create an elixir with supernatural powers, and write down exactly what was in each potion and the process used to make it.

The Intelligence: Boredom and Terror. Drawn with marker on a t-shirt. Love it.

File Under... Idea Book

Headphone jacks in movie theaters.

Just like the ones in airplanes. That way a person could bring their own headphones (noise canceling if you like) and be less bothered by the people nearby crinkling candy wrappers. If the theater wanted to also sell headphones (like the airlines do) more power to them.

File Under... Idea Book

Here's another idea from the old idea book: rubber Legos. Not a big change really - same old classic wonderful lego shapes, just rubber instead of hard plastic. Just so we can make curved surfaces for groin vaults, skulls, ancient Mayan calendars, whatever.

This video comes from the MySpace page of one of my favorite bands: The Intelligence. It's not one of theirs, but they like it, and, I like it and I hope you like it too. Enjoy.

File Under... Colossi

Shadow of the Colossus - one of the greatest video games ever made, may become a movie soon. AND there are rumors of a Shadow of the Colossus 2 as well. So many colossi.

File Under... Song Lyrics (for songs that don't exist)

Hello friend,

are you sleeping?

We like the way you sleep,

as if you are sleeping.

Your face.

Hello. We are with you.

Have you seen our ship?

Have you seen our ghost ship

on the horizon?

Sliding, slow, slowly now,

sliding.

We are on the horizon.

Have you seen us?

Someone should make doughnuts in the shapes of letters. That way you could buy whole sentences made out of doughnuts.

File Under... Vacuous Conversation

Overheard on the street:

guy : ...because I fell in love.

girl : with Cooper?

guy : I don't know anyone named Cooper.

girl : you fell in love with someone NOT named Cooper?
