PIXIES' IN LOUDQUIETLOUD <-- a 2006 film on the '04 Pixies' reunion tour which we were lucky to see when they came through The Greek Theater in Berkeley. Such a great performance from this influential and important band. The film takes you inside each member's life and should needs to be watched... even if you're not a huge fan --> Watch the entire film here online, but support the band by buying the DVD. Only set you back $13 and it's worth every cent.

You know how ITunes can bring up that "where/ what are they doing now" feeling?! Back in 2003 was a band fom San Francisco called Pleasure Forever (the self titled album is my favorite) which I randomly saw at Bottom of the Hill. Heavy talented keyboards, thrusting guitar, glammy w/ lecherous vocals and a great stumble upon, "damn, where did these guys come from... never heard of them before"... and just as quickly I saw them, bought their album, they were gone. Songs pop up from time to time and always the volume is turned up... Well, today a bit investigating shows that front man Andrew Douglas Rothbard has done some incredible solo stuff on the album Abandoned Meander (well, after listening to this song and this song and reading about the album)--- anyway, here are a couple MP3s you might be into. one - two

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS AND GRAPHIC ARTISTS, NOT A PRETTY PICTURE OUT THERE <-- Many fear that the technology providing entree to an unimaginable trove of art, images and information [through the internet] is also obliterating the boundaries that once allowed the creative class to make a living... Last April, Time paid $30 for an iStockphoto shot of a jar of change that ran on the magazine's cover. Other photographers complained that a Time cover in the past (commissioned, not stock) might have paid thousands... Another pal, Brian, told me how architectural renderings his firm once charged $10,000 for have recently been contracted out to China. Draftsmen there will turn the work around, often overnight, and charge as little as $600. -At what point is craft sacrificed since no one is willing to pay?!

Cafe DuNORD Cost: 10$-50$ sliding scale - tickets here and more info here --> hardly buy stuff in ITunes, but just bought OhSees HELP for $10. How much of that $$ do the artists get when albums are sold through ITunes? They say as little as 84 cents for a $10 album?! That's freakin' nuts. Should have just bought it at the show straight from the band.

It's a tad unclear how they break up the $$ between the 10 possible winners. As it's worded you could get anything from a nickel to $2,500... But whatever, if chosen, you get some decent exposure and signing up is free. Not much to loose. Details here - here - last year's finalists.

:: Ad Hoc Closes its Doors ::
We're very sorry to report that Ad Hoc Gallery in Brooklyn is closing its doors due to these harsh economic times we're living in. Tod Seelie emailed "Ad Hoc was a major anchor for the young Brooklyn art scene, with a focus on street art and activism. They helped the Miss Rockaway Armada fundraise, along with many other causes. A handful of artists that have been on Fecal Face launched their career through Ad Hoc. This past Wednesday they had a final send off party, which included giving away tons of art supplies and raw materials as well as chopping out parts of the mural that was still up in the gallery." --> it's a good time to support the art galleries, institutions and artists you enjoy while you still can.

The downpour was so heavy this morning @5am in the Mission that it woke me up from a deep deep sleep. This was fine since I was now awake to see and hear some of the baddest lightning/ thunder combo my poor Midwestern ears haven't heard in years. San Francisco has storms, but nothing like the fast and powerful thunderstorms on the other side of the country... Glad it wasn't the start of an earthquake... Just a boom we thought was going to blow out our windows and left our cat running for under the couch... Sounds like more tonight/ tomorrow morning. What? Surf up to 25 feet?! Might be a nice time to visit Ocean Beach or watch the craziness at Fort Point under the GG Bridge at low tide. BOOM.

Well, she's in the Southern Ocean now and has just rounded Cape Horn, the biggest/ baddest/ scariest Cape of the world. She's got a lot longer to go, but if she completes her journey she'll be the youngest solo none-stop/ none-assisted sailor to do so.

Selma Holo, director of USC's Fisher Museum of Art and director of the university's International Museum Institute. "Deitch has done amazing work as an extremely innovative art dealer. At the same time, we would be remiss not to ask ourselves how he and MOCA are planning to make the transition from the world of commerce and its values to another universe. One understands that these worlds blend, but there are still or should be some lines that are not crossed." - LA Times

Kris Kristofferson lyrics are the best! Yeah sure, it's the dude that your parents listened to. Blah, blah, blah, but your parents were actually cool once and this guy is one of the reasons why! Give him a listen. I especially like the lyrics of Sunday Morning' Comin' Down.

:: Airline Ticket Redesign ::
It's funny how you can get so used to something that is kind of dysfunctional. You just find yourself working around it until someone else says "this is stupid, let's change it". As a whole, people are pretty complacent when you really think about it. We endure all sorts of stupid shit on a daily basis that is dysfunctional... like in some places you can recycle a bottle but you can't recycle the lid from the top of that bottle. That's just stupid, but luckily in SF you can!
Well these guys at PASS/FAIL felt that way about Airline Boarding Passes and have an open challenge to anyone that wants to try and redesign it. I've got to say I never really thought about how annoying they are to decipher until I was forwarded this link by a friend.

Checking out the Exploratorium After Dark as part of a birthday party. Tonight they feature the Cubatron, a 3D light sculpture made from 8x8 foot modular cubes, each containing 1000 individually programmable RGB LEDs. Looks interesting enough albeit a tad burning man. Will bring back some photos and review. more details

:: Christmas Over - Now Get Lost! ::
I recently started a project that looks at the Christmas tree. - It has intrigued me how we spend so much time decorating, admiring, and generally centering our life around the tree then come post Christmas we unceremoniously dump it on the street to fend for itself. It's here where I believe some beauty still remains, maybe a little more. I hope you enjoy the project.- Gabriel Mauron. Thanks for the email, Gabriel.

:: Triple Base Friday ::
Two shows opening Friday @ Triple Base here in San Francisco. In the main gallery space Bryson Gill will be showing a new body of work that spans painting, drawing and sculpture - the culmination of the artist's two-year stay in Berlin. In the gallery's basement project space, Oliver Halsman Rosenberg shares work he made after a year of nomadic art making in India, as well as create a shrine with work by other travelers, locals, and friends he met during his journey. For the opening reception on January 8th (7-10pm, FREE) Tea Master Jon Oda will be creating a special brew for a tea ceremony in the underground project space. Should be a great show. Details - 3041 24th St - 7-10pm

:: Saturday ::
Philadelphia's Max Lawrence, who co-founded Space 1026 and Free News Projects, unveils his latest project on Saturday in SFMOMA's Garage Windows. For his pieces The Hex Inverter and Kimber Lite And The Pipes, Lawrence has installations in each window of the garage on both Minna and Natoma Streets. During the day they serve as murals, but every night there are secrets shows at 5:30PM, 11PM and 3AM where the installations come to life and become a self-sustained light orchestra which will hold concerts for the public. The opening on Saturday will feature bands and a party but the tri-nightly concerts will run all month.

ERIC YAHNKER IN THE LA TIMES MAGAZINE <-- Did you hear the one about the prostitute, the farmer, the Scientologist and the rabbi?... Eric Yahnker would likely come up with a good punch line for that joke - something involving Britney Spears or Osama bin Laden, perhaps. Social studies and political commentary are the 33-year-old, Los Angeles-based artist's forte, and he delivers both with a loving spoonful of humor and caustic wit. -Read our interview with Eric from last June.

Jesse Edwards focuses on unconventional still-life, nudes, ceramics and many other subjects. He has a show opening Thursday in Seattle at Flatcolor. Not only is he a talented oil painter, he busts big time murals in NYC remembering fallen graffiti greats like Kerse and Sacer. I'll let you find those gems your self.

THEO JANSEN DOES A "TED" TALK ON HIS NEW CREATURES <-- oh man this guy's work is brilliant. His beach creatures can live completely on their own. They walk the beach using their sensors avoiding the rises and falling tides. They use their wings to store energy from the wind for movement. Really interesting. Check his site: strandbesst.com Thanks for the email, Andy.

Picturebox has a great interview with Doug Johnson that I highly recommend for a quick view. Doug is best known for his album art work, but his lesser-known illustrations are amazing. Also their zine shop is always worth a gander.
