Rituals

My homie Dan informed me this morning that we missed a pretty sick party up in Coatesville, PA. Next time give us a heads up Coatesville!
“Skulls, skeletons, a frozen head and charred remains – all from dogs – were found in a Coatesville home along with witchcraft books, according to a 6ABC report.

“We would describe this as just macabre,” the SPCA’s Richard Britton told 6ABC.

Two skulls and three skeletons, including one covered with gold leaf, were in the house, and the frozen head was in the kitchen freezer.

In the back yard, burned dog remains were found in a pit, and chicken parts were hanging from a tree.” via Philly.com

#BOOMBOXBOOKWORM / Feb 21st @Silk City

February 13th, 2012 at 3:00 am

We’re psyched to back Dewey Decibel’s new mixtape, #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM will have a release party at Silk City in about a week. Dewey is a talented MC who seems endlessly inspired, dropping tons of psychedelia doses on Philly hip hop fans for the past 5 or so years. I don’t know where the energy comes from, I’d prob be all faded staring at stars, wondering what bark was made out of if I were him. But he’s a true street shaman, he knows the deal.

Check out the new album, out on Bold New Breed Records

A painting in 31 marks

February 11th, 2012 at 8:30 am

Sonnenzimmer, legendary design collective from Chicago released a new book.
Here’s how they described their process:

“With abstract painting, decisions that lead to a completed work can seem arbitrary or, worst of all, non-consequential. With this project, we’ve attempted to open up the decision making process, shedding light on both our collaborative approach and the individual choices that lead to the completion of a painting. Two people, two colors, one painting. A painting in 31 marks.”

Svpply & Demand

It’s crazy how much the internet connects you to a world of discoveries, ideas and possibilities that people would otherwise not have exposure to. The same exposure, however, leaves you looking at a whole bunch of “stuff” that you don’t own, probably never will own, or ever remotely need.
It is, I must say, fun to have “holy shit that’s brilliant” moments and get lost making lists on Svpply.

We’ve been feeling these photo sculptures by Letha Wilson lately. Part landscape photo, part sculpture, fully epic. There’s too many good ones to post, have yourself a look over at here website for a vast portfolio of magic.
She had a show last year at Vox:

“For the exhibition Punch the Sky, Letha Wilson presents recent work that takes landscape photography as the starting point for sculptural construction and interruption. In her work the ability for a photograph to transport the viewer is both called upon, and questioned; sculptural intervention attempts to compensate for the photograph’s failure to encompass the physical site it represents.” – from Lethas website

A SPELL

January 26th, 2012 at 4:25 am

From pagan re-enactors to Scandinavian communes, black metal concerts to Arctic hermits, and the forever Golden Hour to the Northern Lights, A SPELL TO WARD OFF THE DARKNESS is an inquiry into the possibilities of a spiritual existence within an increasingly secular world.

Starring musician Robert AA Lowe (LICHENS) and co-directed by Ben Rivers (UK) and Ben Russell (USA), A SPELL is a feature-length film that lies between fiction and non-fiction, a record of experience that proposes belief in transcendence as a viable outcome of living in the now.
