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.

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.
