Emiliano Granado

You can thank me later.

My girl put me on to Girl Talk. It’s like an explosion of Pop Art coming through your speakers. Not sure if I love it, but sounds like fun. And fun is good:

Not to mention that the latest album cover looks like Gregory Crewdson with a lot of AWESOME added.

Download that ish here.

Cat Power covering David Bowie:

I love WIlliam Lamson’s work.  I haven’t figured out why I like it, but it’s amazing nonetheless.  It’s totally mysterious and ambiguous.  But it’s also really basic and child-like.  Just amazing.  Here’s a video that I saw over at Amy Elkin’s blog.

Words to live by.  Thank you Bjork.

Doesn’t that make you want to wrap her up into a ball and carry her around in your pocket?  Bjork has to be the most adorable thing on the planet.  I’ve always liked her music, but I saw her perform live at the Sasquatch Festival last summer and my love for her took on epic proportions.  Being the wooly caveman that I pretend to be it’s hard to admit this to the world, but I literally cried while she was performing.  Her voice is beautiful and her onstage theater is amazing to watch.  So there you have it world, this guy, loves Bjork.

Happy Monday.

Anyone else using commercials to stay in touch with what the kids are listening to?  I find myself googling the music to TV commercials all the time.  Here was a cool one.  I’m on repeat #5.

Full song. The Sounds - Hurt You:

Anyone else remember this?

Damn, what a great idea for a Halloween costume.  Just a couple days too late.

The video also serves as a perfect reminder that Things Are Strange.  See you there.

Check it.

That is all.

Here is a snippet of the description.  I can’t wait to see what it looks like:

The group exhibition, which opens on Election Day, presents work by eighteen photographers whose images explore the peculiar, idiosyncratic and often absurd elements of the contemporary world, using them as a metaphor for the current state of social and political affairs. The work includes a range of subjects, from the bizarre phenomena of Emiliano Granado’s documentary pictures of ghost hunters and Cara Phillips’ transformation of plastic surgery machines into terrifying robots to Eric Percher’s exploration of the alienation of late night finance workers and Amy Stein’s images of stranded American travelers. Each photographer, by varying degrees, alludes to a world that is gradually falling apart at the seams.

And here are some images from the show:
