No Milk Today - Egg Fugue - Mister Lonely

Last night I went to Billy Miller's new art zine, No Milk Today - launch and show which was super rad. This is his second artzine that he has published - the first in the trilogy is called "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again"... look out for the next one which is called, "Dale".
Next, I ran over to Daniel Reich Gallery to see the Reeder Brothers perform at their show (Scott & Tyson Reeder — Egg Fugue). Here is a small clip... They make great paintings, sculptures and music!



After, Anne & I snuck into Harmony Korine's new film, "Mister Lonely" which premiered last night at the Tribeca Film Fest. I love this film. It kinda feels like a Werner Herzog film - and he's in it! Werner plays a missionary Christian Father who flys a plane with nuns - going around dropping food. The main story is about a kult of celebrity impersonators that live in a commune in the Highlands of France in an old chateau. I think it's his best film yet... very smart, funny and existential.

Concentration Camp U$A

This is really scary... ummm, wtf?

BRIDEZ

Bridez are coming to NYC soon... I'll post the dates when I find out. This is Liza's new band (formally White Tigers - K48 #6). I love them!

RADD!

They're making a G.I.Joe movie! An elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe, operating out of The Pit, takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer... out in 2009!

I'll wait for you

One of my favorite new groups is led er est: SHAWNNoEQ + SAMUEL KkLOVENHOOF + OWEN.. They remind me of Front 242 and Chris & Cosey (remember Heartbeat?). They will be on the next K48 #7 soundtrack and Samuel is collaborating with me on the mix. Last night they performed at Pieter Schoolwerth's party, Wierd...

Xavier Renegade Angel

PFFR has done it again! From the RAD kids that brought you Kids Show and then, Wonder Showzen... this is soo awesome and genius! It's on Adult Swim. I'm now getting cable for sure! There are a few episodes on YouTube. Here is their extended teaser trailer for the series...

Easy Being Gay

Wed Night Movie Night at Monkey Town was soo fun! For those of you who missed it - missed out... but, there will most likely be a nationwide release of Project P-town so, check your lokal theaters... or, it may just go straight to DVD - either way, stay tooned! If you were in my GAG 4 Mugshot video and would like a copy - please email me at: hugscotty@gmail.com.

Nils from Snuten—the super awesome boy band from Norway (K48 #6)—performed this solo acapella number at The Cock... the sound on my little digital camera sux—sorry about that! Thank you to Nils and Slurp for hosting our after party.



Nils is the only gay member of the 4 boys in Snuten. They kinda remind me of ABBA. This video/song "Easy" is so awesome... check it out and their other stuff on youtube and their site is:
WELCOME TO SNUTEN

If I told you you were beautiful, would you date me on the regular? is a one-night-only group show featuring artists who have used media and its by-products to make objects. The title is a quote from Justin Timberlake's My Love, a song that asks how little Timberlake would have to do for you to devote yourself to him utterly. Artists included in the show invert this relationship: demanding culture yield its materials to them for reinvention or repurposing.

This will be the last event at Oliver Kamm's current location—a final dance party designed to privilege interaction and social engagement. In the spirit of a dramatic rejection of systemized forms of cultural production, and as a reaction to the speed with which media is consumed today, the show was conceived, planned, and executed in only three weeks.

Please email nicholasweist@gmail.com for more information.

90 Day Jane

This girl started a blog—she's gonna kill herself in 90 days...
Or, we/I thought she was. I think it's some kind of art project?? I don't know but, I love all the reactions it has gotten—read the comments—they are worth making into an art project!

HOOD BY AIR presents ††HIGHER LEARNING††

Hood by Air's Fall 2008 season is a mutation of rave, goth & hip hop. There were some awesome graphics on the clothes too created by Ezra (a.k.a. KINGDOM). The dude with the long hair was super hot! Bravo $hayne, Raul & the krew at Oak for putting on a fun show!
