The actual painting is nowhere near this magenta, but I kind of like it.

Hidden

Directed by Daniel Askill of Collider, These New Puritans slow the visuals down to a crawl for their new percussive assault of a single We Want War. The new album Hidden is out Jan 18th 2010.

Edit: The Askill brothers Jordan and Daniel are now collaborating under Askill Projects. Not much there at the moment, just links to their other individual sites, but maybe hang around in the future for updates as to which direction the talented Askill compass is pointing.

Baby's On Fire

The Great British Synth Documentary

Amazing documentary for all of you interested in the sonics of silver and the magic of machine. Dial up your square wave and oscillate around this visual velodrome, coming courtesy of the British Broadcasting Corporation's dusty reels.

R.I.P. Irving Penn

Irving Penn Girl in Bed (Jean Patchett), New York 1949


Penn died today of unknown causes, he was 92.

Urs Fischer's sculptural abstractions and installations manage the monochrome much better than most, to the point where I'm wondering if anyone with pockets to the ground has rung him up about some interior decoration? Not trying to trivialise the man or his work, but I'd certainly be giving Gavin Brown a call if I was planning on renovating my NYC loft/Spanish illa/penthouse/super yacht.
