Michael Stipe - Installation at the Rogan Boutique

REM front man Michael Stipe recently completed an encompassing installation of cardboard alarm-clocks in a shop's window. The first leaked photograph of the installation, before the unveiling, were taken on June 26th.

The alarm clocks spill from the interior of the Rogan Boutique on Bowery, in New York City, onto the street. Connecting the new shop to its neighborhood in a time-laden display.




Stipe also released a series bronze-cast cassette tapes,

Housed in the former Bowery Lane Theater, a historic cast iron building on the Bowery in lower Manhattan, the store's dramatic interior, intensified by a sweltering late-June heat, provided the backdrop for R.E.M. front man Michael Stipe's latest turn as a sculptor in "Relics," an exhibition of his bronze castings, which opens to the public June 27 for one month.

To be honest, listening and watching these videos is enjoyable. I usually put them in the background. When the lyrics flowed out for Boy From School I just about died, might we all share these pleasures?

Elbow - One Day Like This - Glasto

Delicate instrumentals and fantastic vocals. The best part is hearing and seeing the crowd's excitement and participation. Glasto or Bust! Amy, I am looking at you!

Glastonbury's Glad!

Proving to be an immensely important leader in new music, it is no suprise at all that this year's Glastonbury left its mark - subtle appearance, scrumptious performances.

I put it down at the beginning, but sitting here and listening to the live recordings is extremely satisfying, great performanceship throughout the entire festival.

FMF - The Industrial Spies

My favourite live digi-hybrid act are known to rock the Techno hard. Lately, and following many other artists, the boys have adapted nu-era Electro sounds, which Londoner's might hear soon, shortly. Many of their performances and recordings are combination midi-controlled Ableton Live, custom modulation and samples, and sample other artists' tracks; a rolling movement of music in the time it is created, beefed up by the big guns.

The Industrial Spies is a cavalier performance and recording team. They diligently practice hybrid layering of musical components, one putting his sounds in time with the other. Synchronisation in real time, with real input. The rhythm of their sets is moody, much like the human life. Snare, snap, glip-bop, hoover, and so on. Maybe not Hardhouse hoover, but maybe also.

Their newest handmade creation comes in preparation for this Summer's electronic festivals and is loaded with the intricate sounds expected.

These guys are local, based in, and around the Greater Toronto Area. Seen performing at outdoor FTekno events, sparkling clubs, dives and grubs, they always hit the show far into the distance. Behind their toys, and as musicians, they are truly original and free on vibe, dedicated to their sound and scene. One Love Brothers!

Food Dye the Xyience Lie

Designing furniture for comfort, style and merit takes years of practice. It would be interesting for me to be a industrial designer. I have ideas, lots of them, and when put forth many of my ideas could make it to product launch. For instance: a magazine rack and table combo, made out of acrylic, and available in several colours and transparencies.

It would look something similar to what is viewed below, but in vacuum molded 3/4" acrylic.





Some stupid ideas, yelled out in the back of the backseat of a car can and do make it to the marketplace. Dreams can become true. Now help me hunt the F'r who stole my idea!

Props to Jess and Robynn for experiencing that with me, now you know.
