My brother Garen (from Kill the Alarm) just posted this sweet new cover of Kanye West’s “Heartless” for backers of our Kickstarter Project to fund the next KTA record.

If you like this, head on over to the project page, make a pledge and download the full mp3 yo.

Massachussetts seems to be a hotbed of Harry Potter innovation: first Harry and the Potters, and now the Harry Potter Aliance!

I just backed the betacup project on Kickstarter

I throw away 5 or more of these a week and it seems like it’s time for another way.

La Roux - Bulletproof

We’ve been waking up everyday this week to this video!

It’s fun to get up to, but as I put on my gray or black clothes, I so want to dress in colors like that. Have I been in Williamsburg too long?

The Top 20 Most Powerless People in the Art World

Here are the Top 5:

1. Everyone entirely unknown to Hans Ulrich Obrist – If the kingmaker isn’t on your cell phone, well, at least your mother is.
2. The guy in the bunny outfit who year after year protested in front of Gagosian’s 25th Street gallery — hey buddy, how’s the career?
3. Independent curators without trust funds – There’s a saying, “No trust, no love.”
4. Artists who can’t speak English, French, German, or Spanish. While the world is filled with approximately 6,800 languages, artwork must adhere to the linguistic realities of economics.
5. That man at all the openings who might be homeless. Wine at gallery openings may be the art world’s only form of social service to people outside their realm, but hey, it’s something.

Judging by the photo posted above, looks like the cartoonist at Artworld had the same idea we did :)

“MySpace has what I would consider to be the greatest untapped asset on the internet right now: EVERY FRICKIN’ BAND ON THE PLANET.”

There’s still no way I am ever visiting Myspace again. Bands smart enough should get themselves on Bandcamp.com

Help my friend Garen record his album.

Fun Fact: I was the lead singer in Garen’s very first band.

Cool!
