Banksy’s Elephant
Here’s a quick little video of the much buzzed painted elephant from Banksy’s “Barely Legal” exhibit. I’ll have my photos and other reflections posted a bit later tonight.
P.S. From what I understand, the elephant was covered in breathable paint and seemed rather chill in its behavior while I was there. It was also constantly being fed hay and taken outside at least once over the hour that Sarah and I were there checking things out. So spare me any comments about animal cruelty, por favor.

This makes me even more excited to see this. P.S. Meg White, you are too damn cute.

Sean nails exactly how I feel about Banksy’s painted elephant controversy.

Jesus The Mexican Boy
*swoon* “Jesus The Mexican Boy” is one of my all time favorite Iron & Wine songs — right behind “Naked As We Came” and “The Trapeze Swinger”. And while you can’t download legal, free versions of the other two tracks Sub Pop was nice enough to offer up “Jesus…” for free.
If you’ve never heard it — or of Iron & Wine for that matter — I suggest you give it a listen. Well, you know, so long as you’re into beautifully quiet acoustic indie stuff… [mp3]

Re-Invasion
Don’t think that this is an art blog now — although I don’t think that would necessarily be a bad thing — but after hearing that new Invaders are popping up around town I’m a bit excited to go out and try to find some of them.

Feed Swapping
Realizing that I really don’t give that much of a shit about what Lindsay Lohan/Jeremy Piven/Paris Hilton/Andy Dick is up to now, I’ve dropped my old guilty pleasure Defamer from my feed reader and replaced it with Gawker’s new music blog Idolator.
After reading their manifesto it seems like a pretty fair trade to me.

Neat iPhoto-esque interface for browsing and managing your flickr photos.

This explains why I had to crank the Joy Division I was listening to earlier today. *sigh* Guess I’ve gotta wait for a fix now.

Mike Patton gets a very random mention on ABC’s “All My Children”. What the shit sort of world are we living in?!
