I’ve been in a Romo mood as of late and have been rediscovering a few things, such as the amazing movie Șatra Șatra. Svetlana Toma was so beautiful in it too, absolutely ridiculous. I wish I could say more information about the film but there’s pretty much nothing out there on it, which is disappointing.
“Many people gon walk in and out your life, but only real friends leave footprints on your heart… The richest man ain’t the one who still got his first dollar dog. It’s the one who still got his first friend.”
First respectable diss song of the decade, eeked out just before the decade’s end. I don’t know the details behind it but it seems founded in honest disappointment not opportunistic WWF antics. Therefore, it’s a breath of fresh air. Still, woulda been nice if Beans just got this much attention for making heavy tunes. I reckon that ain’t the way the world works.
The fine people of McSweeney’s are going to be releasing a special Sunday edition sized newspaper for their latest issue entitled the San Francisco Panarama. Expanding on the theme of a Sunday paper, there will be articles on current events related to the day of its release, sports coverage, comics from artists like Eric Larsen, and even a weekend guide to boot.
I’ll be jumping straight to the Food section, which they have described as “possibly, seriously, the best food section that has ever appeared in any newspaper anywhere, with an incredible modular ramen recipe from New York’s own David Chang and a fifty-eight-step lamb-belly photo essay from San Francisco’s Ryan Farr.” Available for sale in the streets of San Francisco and in bookstores next month.
The upcoming exhibition at The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University entitled “Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids,” features an amazing collection of famed celebrities and pop culture icons shot by Warhol from 1969 – 1986.
Described by the museum as “an important dimension of Warhol’s process in creating his famous large-scale portraits,” its clear the “Polaroids served as aids for painting portraits, in and of themselves they are significant works and represent a relatively unknown body of Warhol’s work.”
Alexi Wasser is basically taking over, just by having a very rad writing driven blog (apparently she’s hosting @ cinespace in a few weeks?). This is her bringing out the wild side of LA’s young Nate Harrington (who is basically like a minimal electronic Harold Bloom in the making, if that makes sense).
