Mica Levi,
Mark Pell, and Raisa Khan
(Micachu and The Shapes) take time out from recording to discuss a recent collaboration with the London Sinfionetta. (Order the album, Chopped & Screwed, from Rough Trade.)

If someone said "Micachu & The Shapes is the best band in the world" I would only protest because that's an impossible thing to quantify.

The Old Gray Guy

.
Wolves on Island Royale, Lake Superior. Fifty-six percent of wolves' genes on the island can be traced to one wolf (known as the "Old Gray Guy," above center) who in 1997 walked across 15 miles of ice to get to the island. Read about it at nytimes.com.

Manly Arts

.
Glenn O'Brien on the topic of how to be a man, which also happens to be the title of a forthcoming book, How To Be A Man by Glenn O'Brien (Rizzoli).


You know what, actually? JUST CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT, because while Jay-Z's personal mythology may now include having a blog, it apparently does not include clean code for embedding video.
