Return of the One-Man-Band →
So I’ve noticed this trend of one person bands cropping up a while ago and glad to read this NY Times Magazine article about it. Just of the top of my head there’s Owen Pallett, Atlas Sound, Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), Dosh, Ariel Pink, and bunches of others. Thanks to electronics and technology there is no longer many singer-songwriter type peeps out there and more of the bedroom pop...

Art is Shit
This bit is from a blog about cars as art. Here they’re talking about cars in which so many bird have defecated on them that it creates a splatter effect. Art?
