104 Degrees and Counting
July 23, 2011 – 7:54 am
It was 104 degrees yesterday in Central Park with a heat index of 114. That’s two degrees shy of the record temperature ever for New York City. The heatwave is expected to continue through the weekend. I saw a lot of open fire hydrants yesterday, and read an article that talked about people just riding the [...]
Even Brighter Than The Moon Moon Moon

Fireworks are a funny thing. They celebrate and illuminate and gather people together on the streets and in fields and make them stare at the sky. I’m all for staring at the sky, and this year a week or so before the 4th, I had the idea to have people share with us their firework [...]
Les Toiles du Soleil x Cole Haan
June 8, 2011 – 1:57 pm
Last night at their boutique in Soho, Cole Haan celebrated their collaboration with textile masters Les Toiles du Soleil. The name of the 150-year-old factory from the Catalan part of France means “fabrics of the sun,” which given New York’s blistering weather was quite apropos. As far as the collection went, Les Toiles’ signature patterns [...]
In Conversation with Twin Shadow
June 6, 2011 – 8:01 am
Twin Shadow’s music has been christened many things: a resurrection of synth-laced 1980s tunes! Hazy new wave-tinged pop! Bedroom electro-disco! All of these revival features have garnered the band’s founder George Lewis Jr. enough cred to earn him the moniker the “black Morrissey,” and not without merit. His songs have wonderfully danceable beats, yet the [...]

Its happy space out time. Take a 15 minute trip into unknown landscapes and structures with our friend and Dossier collaborator Josh Slater. So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt. You’ve never been on a ride like this before, with a producer who can rap and control the maestro. Original score by Sahra Motalebi.

Tony Stark puts it down. This is from back in the day but still holds true. Dedicated to the Gods and Earths. Oh, and I started collecting vintage Wallabees if anyone is interested in a collabo. Only smart dumb cats get at me.
If You Have Eyes, Look At This Now

I just had to, I mean- why wouldn’t I? It’s Tuesday but I say, I don’t give a damn about a hater. Meet Karmin, a cover-band out of Boston featuring Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan- the two met at Berklee School of Music and have gone on to become overnight sensations from this video, which has [...]
Oozing and Knotted Up: Lynda Benglis at the New Musuem
March 31, 2011 – 10:27 am
Image courtesy of Benoit Pailley After being instructed to start at the top of the New Museum and work my way down, I was thrilled to arrive at the 2nd floor exhibition of works by Lynda Benglis. From lava forms erupting from a wall lit with a black light to knotted steel formations, which remind [...]
