Yoko Ono’s Next Husband

Posted on by

No, seriously. Think about it. She’s got John‘s money and no particular need to be the ruling Rock Widow of Our Times, which goes to Courtney Love on sheer batshit-insane points. Sure, Yoko‘s meaner, and she’s smarter, and she’ll outlive Courtney by a good twenty years, but it’s time she moved on. Time she found a new man.

Time she found this man.

William Lamson is clearly both deeply artistic and strange to the pink, gooey core. Check out his site: my particular favorite video is “Monument Valley Flight Attempt” but one has to come to it with preparation. One has to be ready. One has to wait it out, all two minutes, forty-one seconds of it. There IS no punchline. It, itself, IS the punchline. Or is the viewer?

Snow in Seattle: Pic O’ The Day!

Posted on by

I really can’t say why (especially after this many festive Martinis) but this picture resonates with me and reminds me of Cartier Bresson’s Decisive Moment, although there is nothing decisive about this whatsoever, which is in and of itself in fact and in actuality very, very West Coast indeed.

Octopus Studios in the hood

Octopus Studios: I’m not exactly sure who they are. I’m not exactly sure what they do. I am, however, 100% certain that they have the coolest logo on the Downtown EastSide, and thoughtful of them it was to put it only a couple of blocks from my house. They must know I’ve been busy lately.

Octopus Studios
Whoa! You don’t suppose this logo is literal? You don’t suppose they’re building levitating robotic giant octopi behind that bland cinder-block facade? This bears investigating. If you don’t hear from me in a week, send in the Calamari Wrestler!

Here is the live streaming video from Mobile Souls at the Parade of Lost Souls. No idea if this UStream video will work, but what the hell, I’ll give it a shot.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

UPDATE: okay, screw that. Go here on Fearless for the actual streaming video we remixed for Mobile Souls, plus the Digital Shrine video immediately below.
