:: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CONDOS ::Posted by: Sucka Pants
I'm playing a bit of photo/video catch up from the summer, since I am currently burned out and laying low for a bit. I have two requests for you though: 1. I'm headed to Miami for Art Basel this year. I have work in the Aqua Art Fair with Cinders Gallery, so I figure it's the best and possibly only time I'll have an excuse to go. Anyone else headed down? Anything good to check out? I hear Matt & Kim and Annihilation Time are playing shows there. Anyone know where I can find a bike? 2. I'm working on my fifth installment of my annual Xmas mix, and it gets progressively tougher every year to find more holiday songs that don't suck. So if you have any suggestions either email 'em to me or leave it in the comments. Thanks!

:: LIKE A TOURIST IN YOUR TOWN ::Posted by: Sucka Pants
Two days in Paris: - Wandering around a park on a canal in the northeast part of Paris. A group of men, all looking Middle Eastern or African, were sitting quietly in a small sectioned off part of the park. Their seemed to be one man with long hair and a beard who was standing facing the rest of them. It looked almost like a meditation session, if you can meditate while looking around and listening to your ipod. They kept calling me over every time I would get near, but my lack of French kept me from venturing over. I wondered about if for the next few days. Twenty-four hours in Amsterdam: - There are so many bikes all over the place in Amsterdam that they almost feel similar to the trash that blows around and collects against fences and trees in Brooklyn. MP3: - Jeff Alexander & Bonnie Beecher - Come Wander With Me Posted: suckapants // 11.24.08 //

On tour with Dark Dark Dark in Europe: - Dark Dark Dark playing at a tiny 300 year old bar in Gent, Belgium. Meeting an eccentric local artist and his dog Willy and staying at his house. Leaving Brian Kelly there on his way to Berlin.
MP3: This is good, but much better live. All the more reason to catch one of Dark Dark Dark's live shows. . . - Dark Dark Dark - Benefit Of The Doubt A band's place in myspace. Posted: suckapants // 11.18.08 //

:: GRANTED FOR THE TAKING ::Posted by: Sucka Pants
- I am able to convince friends of mine from Brooklyn, the band Team Robespierre, to come and play at Burgers in Eindhoven before they head to Amsterdam while touring Europe. A bunch of the Rockaway crew goes to the show and the band plays to a pretty full (although somewhat static) house.

:: BA-DA-BA-BUMP IN THE NIGHT ::Halloween crept up on me like a specter in the night. As usual, I ended up in San Francisco where the house parties are bigger and the street parties are warmer. Although this one was more mellow than years past.

It happened. We won. My little sister should be proud of all the pavement she pounded for Obama in Ohio. Small things can add up to big differences. Also slightly related to the cultural differences + politics thing. Even the paint job on the benches here in the Netherlands seem to reflect the Democratic victory.

:: LIVING IN A WORLD OF COMPROMISE ::Posted by: Sucka Pants (photos from the Miss Rockaway installation process at Stroomhuis in Eindhoven, so far) The Miss Rockaway Armada in Eindhoven, Netherlands: - Going to a thrift store in an old school to find John some new pants after he blew the ass out of them. The old lady that was helping us insisted on leading him by the hand around the school showing people the hole, and then made him change out of them before he could leave the store. MP3: This is what we listened to really loud on repeat for a whole day while working. It reverberated off the walls and made your chest hum. It was an amazing thing, transforming the feel of mangling wood and nails in a tiled room dimly lit by haphazardly placed bare bulbs. - Earth - Land Of Some Other Order A band's place in myspace.

:: IT'S A HARD KNUCKLE TOWN ::Posted by: Sucka Pants (photos from Bike Kill VI, full gallery here) Apologies for taking so long to get Bike Kill up, I left almost immediately to meet up with other members of the Miss Rockaway Armada in Eindhoven in the Netherlands to work on an installation here (more on that soon). Bike Kill was fun this year, a bit aggro and a lot of people got their bags and stuff stolen at the after party, but aside from the soaking rain that came late it was a ton of crazy fun as usual. There's a chance that this may have been the last one for a while, let's hope not. MP3: Back in high school this was the shit. - Shotmaker - Failure A band's place in myspace.
