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.

Now Hiring
Hey there all you crazy Bay Area kids!
My work is looking for a programmer for our fledgling satellite office up North. So if you’ve got what we’re looking for, you should totally go apply.

Man, I seriously can’t fucking wait for this. Hopefully I’ll run into a few of y’all there tomorrow. If you see me, come over and say hey.
Update: Here’s the location on a Google map according to blogging.la.

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?!

Brand Recognition
Speaking of art exhibits, Sarah and I took a day trip from Bakersfield last weekend to go attend Coop‘s Brand Recognition opening at sixspace.
It was something that I promised Sarah that we could go do and I’m glad that I got the chance to take her to do it. As a reformed rockabilly, she was so excited to get to meet Coop in the flesh. She seemed to beam for most of the day — from the trip out, thru the exhibit itself and during our victory dinner of Monte Cristo sandwiches at Jerry’s.
I’m really happy when I get the opportunity to show Sarah why I love LA so darn much — and I’m even more happy to see her loving it too.

Barely Legal
After seeing that it will include a live, painted elephant, I am so looking forward to Banksy‘s guerrilla art exhibit in Los Angeles this weekend. I don’t care what I have to do, I am not going to fucking miss this.
P.S. The latest LA Weekly has got a great interview with Banksy.

This might come in handy for setting up a note taking site for the next LA BarCamp… “Mobwrite is an text box which allows multiple people to edit the same text at the same time.”

Turns out Danger Mouse was the one responsible for the music side of Banksy’s Paris Hilton prank. That explains why I thought the track was catchy despite being really long.

Jesus H. Christ, Houston… The Onion’s classic bit of Moon landing audio mashed up with real Moon landing footage. Seriously fucking transcendent.
