NY Times | Bloggers Crash Fashion's Front Row →
In which print media catches on pathetically late, yet again, to the internet — this time around, the incredibly obvious blog-democritization-realtime-crowdsourcing-whatever “TREND” which the music industry pretty obviously (and more publicly) witnessed a few years before fashion and yet is strangely similar in its uncomfortable dismantling of the upper echelons (and by that I...

REASONABLY GREAT ALBUMS OF THE LAST DECADE THAT...
Presumably because they are so totally embarrassed/uncomfortable with having purchased them (and indeed they probably were among the last actual CDs they purchased; I know for one that I was spending my babysitting money on these CDs at Sound Exchange on Rte 23 in good old Wayne, New Jersey, and then in 2003 we got broadband and it all went to hell) and that we all feel more comfortable pretending...

claytoncubitt: “Fashion is an extension of dressing. It’s a very important social factor. It amuses me that fashion and fashion photography are treated so poorly intellectually. Cultural intellectuals tend to feel they’re not qualified to discuss fashion photography, or that it’s a waste of time. I even get correspondence across the forums at SHOWstudio from people who think fashion is evil....

HOME ALONE (1990) Secretly (or not-so-secretly) I actually really, really love this movie (despite the pretty terrible trailer and abysmally bad sequels.) Also, it came out TWENTY YEARS AGO OH GOD I AM OLD. merry christmas everyone!

copyblogger | why james chartrand wears women's... →
In which  “James Chartrand” of copywriting blog Men With Pens reveals that she is among the ranks of George Sand and the Bell brothers and George Eliot (and AM Homes and SE Hinton and JK Rowling — and my own very deliberately genderless - and therefore presumably male - resume and email address.) Most shocking to me: the commenters surprise, and especially those who accuse her...

I love the trend that’s developed over the past few years of making beautiful high-quality jewelry out of ugly, macabre, or dangerous things — nothing new, but I’ve got so many of them bookmarked that I love - after the jump: Pamela Love is most obvious — I’m sure we’ve all seen that crazy talon cuff bracelet (above) by now. I love her raven skull necklaces...

Word Routes | Are You Esurient? →
My minor/correllate in college was this completely fabricated (and completely awesome) linguistics/anthropology/media studies track which I somehow got the anth department to approve and call “langauge, new media, and expressive culture.”  Which basically came down to a lot of crap about, like, what languages people use on their Facebook walls, how blogs perpetuate certain linguistic...

I know, I know, we’re all sick of posts about The xx. But I can’t help myself!  Video above from their show Friday at Webster Hall (Flipcam audio surprisingly deece, no? More: Nighttime and VCR.) Point, though, aside from ‘damn how awesome is this band’: LOOK AT THAT ENORMOUS CROWD. (Check around 3:40.) It’s crazy thinking that when I first wrote about them was the...
