In a Thick Way

.

Chad VanGaalen "Red Hot Drops" from Skelliconnection (2006, Flemish Eye/Sub Pop).

Lots of great shows in Seattle tonight – Gang Gang Dance with Stephanie at Neumos, Pica Beats at the Comet, the list goes on – but I'm a huge fan of Chad VanGaalen and have never seen him live, so we're heading for the Sunset.

Perfect Man

.

Bas Jan Ader Fall 1, Los Angeles, 1970 – on view through Saturday October 15th in the group show Perfect Man II, curated by Rita Ackermann and Parinaz Mogadassi, at White Columns.

Perfect man can kill a tarantula with a broom
in a businesslike manner, half-afraid.

Perfect man is the tarantula and the broom.

One of the best shows I saw this past week in New York City.
