Keep It Down

Sic Alps "Bells (w/ Tremolo and Distortion)"
from A Long Way Around to a Shortcut (2009, Drag City)
The visuals kind of remind me of Wes Lang.

Proenza Schouler Shibori-print semi-sheer jersey long sleeved t-shirt, $375 from Kirna Zabete. I really want to buy this for Emily but we're in savings mode, and thus: Want.

Street Peeper

Miroslav Tichý, the Czech photographer whom I posted about last year when he had a major retrospective at the International Center of Photography in New York, died earlier this month at the age of 84.
With his homemade "trash cameras" and voyeuristic photographs of women on the street, I thought of Tichý as a sort of harmlessly lecherous, Eastern-block version of Bill Cunningham.

Pick it up for cheap from Abe Books.

Image of the Day
.
Mural by Zephyr, Revolt, and Sharp for the beyond-
classic Wild Style (1983) directed by Charlie Ahearn.
Photograph by Martha Cooper.
(Front row: Doze, Frosty Freeze, Ken Swift;
middle row: Patti Astor, Fred Brathwaite, Lady Pink;
back row: Lil Crazy Legs, Revolt and Sharp.)
Cooper's photo is on view as part of Jeffrey Deitch's debut exhibition, "Art in the Streets," which opened last week at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The show is the first exhibition of street art ever held at a major museum in the U.S. When MOCA's board set out to hire a new director a year ago, they reportedly wanted someone who would take risks, and they got it in Deitch.
"Art in the Streets" runs through August 8. More info here.

When Time And Place Collide

The Kills "Satellite" from Blood Pressures (2011, Domino). Directed by Sophie Muller.
Evokes an in-between feeling with which I currently identify, even if I'm not fully in love with the song itself.

Need vs. Want

A little coveting to start off the week, courtesy of 1st Dibs.
Thea Porter caftan, ca. 1960s-70s.
1980s Christian Dior taffeta ruffled opera wrap.
(I have a special weakness for any piece that
can be styled multiple ways.)
(Pair with:
...and, for the girl who has everything:
All Wants, needless to say. But it's good inspiration and it makes me happy just to know these pieces are out there.
