My pal Siri Wilson of Sirius Lux jewelry and Treehouse Brooklyn ws kind enough to create one of a kind chunky, crocheted chain jewelry to go with my Andrew Harmon Oscar gown. After much discussion about what would look best with my dress, copper or gold chain, short or long, simple or bold we finally decided one two simple chains of gold as well as a drippy bracelet. Siri custom crocheted each piece to perfectly compliment my sparkly gown. Siri thank you my dear. I felt like the belle of the ball at the Oscars!
Also a special thanks to Deena and Junco at Coiffeur for making my coif look fabulous!
When I told my dear friend Andrew Harmon I was invited to attend the 82nd Academy Awards he said he would be thrilled to make me a one of a kind Oscar gown. Not only was it a fun project but he got to dress me up like his little doll. At first his designed a silk patchwork biased cut dress in black and creams colors but he thought that looked too pretty. Why make a pretty dress for the Oscars? Why not make something outrageous and vampy? Above is the fabulous creation he came up with and it happened to fit me perfectly! Thank you Andrew. It’s truly the most beautiful dress I’ve ever worn. Incredible.
Here’s the beaded clutch to go with my gown, courtesy of Oak NYC. Thank you Louis and Jeff!
The Winter ’09 issue of Fretboard Journal has a terrific interview between Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and guitarist Michael Chapman. For the past few years I’ve been producing a short documentary called Fully Qualified Survivor about Michael Chapman’s music and his life on Wrytree Farm with his wife Andru. Michael will be coming to the US to perform at the Jack Rose Memorial Concert in Philadelphia February 13th and playing some additional dates on the East Coast.
We lost a great man and dear friend the other day, musician Jack Rose passed away last Saturday. At thirty-eight he was too young to go. Jack was a passionate, inspired artist and a real hoot to hang hang out with. I am thankful I was able to call him my friend. Rest easy Jack.
My art school pal artist David Crawford died unexpectedly last week. I hadn’t spoken to David in over a year, last I knew he was in Sweden working on his PhD. in Digital Represention. David was a wonderful talent and a thoughtful friend, he will surely be missed by many. I am saddened that I didn’t get to reconnect with him in person in recent years. Check out some of David’s excellent experimental work on Turbulence.org and Stopmotionstudies.net.

(Update: thanks to everyone who made it out to cheer for me and all who were there in spirit! It was an incredible day.)
Last weekend my pals, Brooklyn psych rock band Oneida played an epic jam at the Flaming Lips curated ATP festival. The event that Onedia proposed was to recreate their recording studio Ocropolis and invite fellow musicians to come take part in an all day jam. Many musicians participated including members of Akron Family, Birds of Avalon and Boredoms. Oneida rocked hard for 10 hours straight! I recorded as much as I possibly could on two cameras (thank you Monica Hampton!). It was an exhausting but exhilarating day…
Above is stoner rock band Sleep’s video for Dragonaut from the album Holy Mountain. Definitely one of my all time favorite records. Check out those dreads on Matt Pike! You might recognize this tune from the film Gummo. And here you can see the album art for Sleep’s Dopesmoker and Jerusalem by my pal Arik Roper. Yeah…
Here’s the video for for Sonic Youth’s Sacred Trickster directed by my pal Tom Surgal. Tom is a multi-talented musician and filmmaker. He plays drums in the band White Out with Lin Culbertson and has played with a ton of other amazing musicians such as Sonic Youth, Samara Lubelski and Nels Cline. Tom has also directed a bunch of music videos for Sonic Youth and Pavement among others. His excellent music series at Club Midway called Red Dessert Nights has featured performances by PG Six, Sightings, NNCK, Spectre Folk & Jack Rose. I even got to dj for the Spectre Folk/Loren Mazzacane Connors show. Soooo good. This video is for Sonic Youth’s new album The Eternal on their new label Matador. Right on Tom.
