So, basically it was that with 2 hours of talking thrown in for good measure. Also this:
Oh, also this photograph of an alligator chewing on a severed human arm (It’s real. You’ve been warned).

I am not immune
to choruses of small children singing sentimenal Björk songs. Particularly not today.
Midday, I got an email from Dad letting John and I know that our cat Bubba had to be put down (acute kidney failure, which happens; Bubba was fifteen; he’d seen three houses and had actually been FIV positive, when we adopted him). That’s what that last post was about. It came right before the Open Corridor thing was getting ready to start, and I had to ditch out on the whole affair (I can’t deal with opening crowds under the best of circumstances), which I don’t feel too good about.
I did get downtown to take photos of the finished installation. Photos to come. Tomorrow I guess I’ll get back to the email-responding and review-writing that had been planned for today.

MEN / Dominique Young Unique
MEN – Off Our Backs (video by K8 Hardy)
MEN – Simultaneously (video by Leidy Churchman)
You’ll have to forgive me for being a couple months behind the curve, here. When this was all taking place, I was mounting a thesis or something. I don’t remember. Anyway. MEN—formerly a DJ collaboration between JD Samson and Johanna Fateman (ex-Le Tigre), now a band comprising Samson, Ginger Brooks Takahashi (who recorded an album with Mirah some years back) and Michael O’Neill (Ladybug Transistor? I think? This is getting complicated). Know them. You can download their 3-song demo at I Heart Comix.
Also know Dominique Young Unique (Tampa!). Jessica Hopper is not incorrect in suggesting that she “makes Santigold sound like the teacher from Peanuts.”
