Thankfully it seems as though we’ve mostly cycled through the whole Joy Division/”punk-funk” thing and that the “we’re playing cheap Casios, lolz 80s!” aesthetic is on the wane, but we’ve still got a glut of limp psychedelic folk, faux-Animal Collective bullshitting, and lame-ass attempts at mimicking the Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine.
La nuova rubrica di FLUXBLOG si intitola “Your New Influences #1”: consiglia dischi da (ri)ascoltare e  prendere nota, rivolgendosi in particolare ai musicisti in cerca di ispirazione. Il primo consiglio è “Miss You Much” di Janet Jackson. Giuro.

Video per combattere il caldo, #3:

TLC - “Waterfalls”

(canzone seria ma tanta acqua e qualche effetto speciale)

Video per combattere il caldo, #2:

Wendy & Lisa - “Waterfall”

(l’acqua è solo quella dentro il pianoforte di Lisa, ma questa canzone urla estate da tutti i suoi pori. L’assolo di chitarra a 2:44 è fantastico)

Video per combattere il caldo, #1:

Jane Weidlin - “Rush Hour”

Piscina, delfini, acqua, tantissima acqua. E sì una canzoncina orecchiabile.

Tate Modern, Street Art Exhibition 1 July 2008
La Tate è uno dei pochi posti dove sono stata più volte che mi manca fisicamente. Per me è come Tiffany: “The only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany’s. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.”

Hollywood’s Next Wave
It’s been only five years since V.F. took a reading of Hollywood’s youthquake—featuring the likes of Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen twins, and Shia LaBeouf—but the celebrity terrain has gotten rougher. Nonetheless, the new kids seem more sure-footed amid the YouTube-Gawker-TMZ minefield. James Wolcott works out the Twittering, vote-Obama currents that connect the star posses under scrutiny, from the Gossip Girl gang to the kudzu-like progeny of Judd Apatow’s oeuvre.
(Vanity Fair cover girls: Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, and Kristen Stewart.)

Audrey Hepburn goes back to the bar (1957).
In occasione del film “Funny Face” con Fred Astaire (1957), uscì questo fantastico servizio fotografico di David Seymour. Le altre (adorabili) foto sono qua:  due, tre, quattro.
