Where Did I Park the Lightcycle?
It’s official. They just announced a sequel to Tron. Which means someone has been reading my dreams. Tron Legacy Trailer / Walt Disney Pictures The Official Tron Legacy Trailer by allthingsdisney
I’m Telling You Girl, That Armor’s Gonna Look Fierce On You
Jeanne d’Arc / Eugene Thirion / 1876 Saint Joan of Arc had a great look going on. The armor, the bobbed hair cut, the brash, sexy attitude. I would have dated her. But, unfortunately, I broke my time machine. So here’s an alternative. If I were to date a girl today who kind of looked [...]
A Condom That Will Make Your Friends Wonder If You Died
ThatsMyPleasure.com / Durex Bare Condoms / Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness My friend, Alvin Ho Young, is one of the art directors who worked on the new Durex Bare site. The photography is incredibly hot, and the product sounds like the next best thing to the Roman Empire. The site has an e-card generator where it [...]

No One Told Me Anna Wintour is Hot
Wait, what? This woman has to stop hiding behind her sunglasses. Those eyes… I’m smitten. Yes, I know she’s supposed to be an ice queen, but I’m not buying it. I was just watching the trailer for the new Vogue documentary, The September Issue. I was following her mannerisms and body language. This woman is [...]
French Diplomats Just Got Way Cuter
Morgan Kibby / Photo by Anouck Bertin I just did a google search on the new M83 album to figure out who this girl is with the incredibly hot voice. It turns out she’s an American, Morgan Kibby, based in LA. Here’s an interview they did in support of Saturdays = Youth. Ugh. I’m in [...]
Hush Hush, Eye To Eye
I think it’s clear by now that I’m a huge fan of all things Manchester. But wouldn’t you know, just when I think I have a handle on all of the bands that have come out of that great city, another one pops up on my radar—this one, quite possibly, the most unexpected of them [...]
M83 Makes Me Wish I Was French
If you owned a Vuarnet t-shirt in the 80s, and listened to a lot of Berlin, chances are you’ll love the new(ish) album by M83. This is a good one for walking around an abandoned graveyard at sunset. Not that I would. Their videos couldn’t be any more French. This one is like the indie [...]

If You Traveled Back a Hundred Years with a Point-and-shoot Camera
What would you capture?

The Ship’s Here, But Where Are All the Aliens?
That is never a good question. What happens when the aliens come to visit, but then we don’t let them leave? Guess. This has the potential for being awful. But I really hope not. The way it’s filmed reminds me of Right At Your Door, which I highly recommend.
The Fairy Tale Called and They Want Their Singer Back
Her voice makes me want to cast spells in rhyme. Here’s her creepy video for “Daniel.” Love the parts in the station wagon. And here she is winning over Dave and Paul. Are they all lip synching or were all these indie kids plucked from the same enchanted forest? Natasha Khan, a.k.a. Bat For Lashes

These Diamond Lips
Marina Diamond of Marina & the Diamonds I have Giovanni DiMola to thank for introducing me to my soon-to-be-wife. I raided his music collection last week while we were looking at his work. One of the highlights of the night was Marina & the Diamonds, whose EP, The Crown Jewels, and its various remixes (The [...]
If Love Will Tear Us Apart, Then Mash-ups Will Bring Us Together
Peter Hook / Toronto / 2007 Who’s the biggest fan of New Order? Apparently, the mantle is being carried by Peter Hook, the band’s bassist-turned-(strange as it may seem)-international-celebrity-DJ. I caught his set at Webster Hall Friday night—arriving just in time to hear him play a remix of “Bizarre Love Triangle” that brought the house [...]
Cate Holt / Mash
Cate Holt / Mash / 2009 I went to my friend Cate Holt’s show at SVA on Thursday and this was one of the paintings I saw. I love the vibrant colors she uses. Cate is in a residency program at SVA and lives in upstate NY.
The Journey That Begins Where Everything Ends
Remember when Disney looked like this? The Black Hole. Think: Star Trek meets Donnie Darko. The late 70s through the mid 80s was a bizarre chapter in the life of Disney, and my favorite by far. This was the pre-Eisner era, when you could make existentialist thrillers where children were tormented by black magic and [...]
