Four goofy guys from Denton, Texas. Music is a bit like Black Lips, Jawbreaker, and early Built To Spill. Their old record, Queer Salutations is amazing and the new LP, Foreign Lands picks up right where they left off (with better production).
Chinese Schoolgirl Begs For Love Outside Of Boys Dormitory!
Here is a transcript of what the girl is screaming and what the guys watching her are saying while they film her:
Commenter 1: [hurriedly] Push! Push! Film! Film! Film! That button! Hey! Film!
Girl: [background, screaming] What are you doing?!
Commenter 2: [exasperated] Hey, what are you doing, man?
Girl: [screaming] Hurry and come out here!
Commenter 1: [hurriedly]: First floor, first floor! Focus on the girl! Focus on the girl!
Commenter 2: [exasperated]: Where? Where? Aiya…
Commenter 1: [hurriedly]: Focus on the girl!
Girl: You like to play video games, I will play with you! You like to play football, I will watch you play!
Commenter 3: Hey, who is she talking to?
Girl: [crying, screaming] Are you going to die if you like me for a moment?!
Commenter 3: [laughing] Ohhh…
Commenter 2: [laughing] Oh, she said die, damn!
Commenter 1: A Foot-basin man, look! Behind her is a foot-basin man!
Commenter 3: [amused] This person is pretty amusing…
Girl: I really want to be with you…
Commenter 2: [laughs] Hehe, very amusing…
Commenter 1: Foot-basin man, foot-basin man!
Girl: [crying] I’m willing to be with you for the rest of my life…
Commenter 1: [mockingly] I’m willing to be with you for the rest of my life…
Girl: …are you willing?
Commenter 3: [mockingly] I’m willing, are you willing? I’m willing, are you willing?
Commenter 1: [excitedly] Oh, the man came out, oh, saddle stance man!
Commenters 2 & 3: [cheering and clapping] Oooh! Hoo!! Whoo!!

What a beautiful thing to witness! Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve.
Added bonus is the amazing commentary from the guys filming this.

Friday
Cold / Overcast afternoon in March
We probably spent the night blasting The Smiths,
with a mid 90’s movie, like Groundhog Day
or Speed, on mute in the background. Going to a
club tonite on Orchard? Ludlow? Ahhh, I’m busy
tonight, gotta walk Henry.
I miss those kind of days.
Her name is Yao Yao. Not even sure where to begin with this.
Happy Halloween.
Say Anything “I Hate Everyone”
If I was 14 years old, I’d probably have Say Anything posters all over my wall and wish i was Max Bemis. That’s not a diss at all because I think when I was 14, I took music for what it was, alone in my parent’s house, confused as shit. Hell, I still hate (almost) everyone.
Back when I was in NY last August, I had really nice lunch with my friends/former bosses, John Lee and Jiae Kim of Theme Magazine. As I was talking to them about doing BRAVE magazine for Diesel, they recommended that I check out what Acne was doing, Acne Paper. I figured I couldn’t find it in Hong Kong so I forgot about it.
Fast forward to today, I had some time to kill before dinner, so I stopped in Page One, which has more or less become my Hong Kong library. I took a stroll towards the Fashion magazine section and decided to detour to the lonely graveyard of Design/Architecture/Photography. It’s usually just one copy of Juxtapoz and IDN (Good magazines but not my thing). Anyways, on this fortunate detour, I discovered that you can indeed find ACNE Paper in Hong Kong! Baby steps..
I’m halfway through it right now and I must say that it’s surpassed my expectation of how a brand can do a magazine tastefully. My favorite pieces so far is an interview with photographer Duane Michals. Check him out here. ACNE Paper has great fashion spreads and styling but I must warn my casual flipper friends, a lot of the content is pretty deep brainy and artsy. Be warned.
By the way, it’s A3 size so you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. Sorry, I must have been in Hong Kong for too long…love the deals.
ACNE Paper / LAMFACE approved!
“Never judge a book by its cover. Judge it after it scams his girlfriend and the general art community in Hong Kong!”
Backstory: I had the honor of being involved with putting on an art exhibition by the legendary Eric Haze last July. We did the show at the Museum of Contemporary Art China in Causeway Bay. Long story short, the “founder” and his partner were nice and helpful in the planning stages but then things got strange. Things they promised weren’t fulfilled, questions regarding MoCA’s history and background were avoided and there just was a general feeling of “not right” in the air. For example, a day before the Haze show, one of the “founder’s” own “artwork” ends up hung up at the reception area. We ask him what happened and he says that he has no room for it in storage and that he has no choice but to leave it up front. Good timing jackass! Regardless, the show turned out great and the opening party was one of the best of that year. We had top celebrities, collaborated wth 8FIVE2, set up a pop up shop…the whole deal. But after that was done, MoCA China quickly and conveniently drifted away in the abyss of my memory….. UNTIL NOW!
This Morning: I was randomly browsing some local ART websites, looking for some shows to go to, when I stumbled upon this comment section about the Hong Kong Art Scene. I kept reading and then all of a sudden, I see a link to MoCA China in “the art newspaper” website. I clicked on it and there it was! Confirmation!
Everyone had a weird feeling about the organization and the “founder”, especially when he added ALL my female co-workers on Facebook HOURS after he met them. There was some other shit but I’ll keep it private for now. Anyways, read this article…pretty crazy I worked with this guy for a month.
Mika Miko is breaking up. In my opinion, they were one of the better bands to come out of “The Smell” L.A. scene. Here’s to you MM!
