Albert Watson’s portrait of Michael Jackson is currently on display at the Brooklyn Museum (one of my favorite museums in NYC!) in the “Who Shot Rock & Roll” exhibit until January 31, 2010. It’s a very large print at 96″ x 58″ and you can get a better sneak peek at it PDN.
AnimalNY shared this old-timey looking video of skateboarder Anthony Pappalardo cruising around New York City with Mark Gonzales’ “Circle Board”.
The “Circle Board” is made of 9 regular skateboards connected end to end in a circle. If you want to see the board in person, you can do so at the Franklin Parrasch Gallery until November 28th.
Went to an Athlete concert last night at the Bowery Ballroom. It was my first time at the Bowery Ballroom and also my first time seeing Athlete live in concert. I’ve been a fan of their music for a while now and it was nice to see them play on stage. As far as I can remember, they hit all of my favorites including Wires, Black Swan Song, Superhuman Touch, Hurricane, and Half Light.
All in all, a very good show. I just wish their stage setup and lighting were a bit more sophisticated. Here are some photos from the show.
Times are a’changin’ and DQM has finally launched an online store to go along with their great selection of in-store goodies. So if you can’t make it to their NYC outlet, now’s a good time to browse their online store and beat the lines at the register (there aren’t really lines…I’m just sayin’).
As far as I know, nobody was seriously injured in this crash (although some did go to the hospital for other reasons). See more of Jesse’s photos of the big crash here.
