Haring
It’s really no secret to anyone that even knows me a little bit—I’m basically obsessed with Keith Haring. I love both his actual pieces of art as well as his philosophy concerning the process of creation, the role of the artist, the place of art in society, art’s importance to the human condition, and life in general, I guess. I wrote a 13 page paper for...
The Prada Post
Conor posted the new Prada ad campaign video on my wall last night and it got me thinking. While I appreciate the work of contemporary fashion houses, I don’t typically attempt to translate their products or consciousness in my own form of expression. For example, I believe McQueen’s is absolutely amazing—the vision and execution are superb; but I wouldn’t...
You Like Music We Can Dance To
JimJam and I just saw Sophia Coppola’s newest film “Somewhere” at the E Street Cinema. I thought it was very characteristic of her previous movies—she generally doesn’t employ lots of dialogue to tell her stories. (Jim pointed out the many similarities between this movie and Lost in Translation, but I guess do what you know and what works? I can see Marie...

Update, plz
I just bought my ticket for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Twin Shadow’s show at the Black Cat on April Fool’s day! JimJam is going to get a ticket too, it should be rad! In other news, I also bought my flight tickets home for spring break. I’ll be making my return to the Cape on March 10, returning to our nation’s capital on the 15th! That gives me a solid 6...

In an oddly masochistic way, I miss you already. I’ll see you soon.
You Always Hurt the Ones You Love
Oh man, this movie. It was literally the most honest, real thing I’ve ever seen. It was like watching something beautiful die. I recommend seeing it twice—the second time I focused more on the flashback aspects, having already had a visceral reaction to the plot progression as a whole. Now that I typed that—just a comment on the movie’s non-linear plot structure: I...

Listening To... Belle & Sebastian
Based on the updated web-address and title of this blog (both allusions to Belle & Sebastian songs), it’s fair to say I’ve been listening to their stuff a lot more frequently as of late. I got Zak their newest record, “Write About Love”, for Christmas and he seemed pretty jazzed about it. In my opinion, they’re Scotland’s #1 claim to fame, followed...

Confessions of a Shopaholic: MAP, Helltown
Anyone who has ever spent more than 5 minutes in my company has probably heard me wax poetic about my FAVORITE STORE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH (yes, that’s including all Marc Jacobs’, Urban Outfitters’- sorry Store 5, and thrift stores)- MAP. Located at 141 Commercial Street in Provincetown, the store always draws a crowd to the West End- typically the more residential end...

Listening To... The Drums
This track is probably my favorite one that plays at the store! It’s a great t shirt folding song I guess. Really simple and catchy
