No one considered the design of a can of Campbell's soup 'art' until Warhol said it was. That was the genius of it. Fairey isn't re-contextualizing non-art as art. He's re-using art. But I think I've moved away from the Fair Use argument and star…

Shep's work is kinda '...ehhh,' to these eyes. Feels more like graphic design, or Peter Max for a new generation or some shit. I gotta disagree with you on that. While Peter Max definitely developed his style by borrowing elements of Art Nouveau and…

Ain't no mystery, god. http://tesserae.blogspot.com/2007/11/shepard-fairey-street-artist-or.html Agreed, there's no mystery at all to Fairey's appropriation of imagery. Where Fairey's success lies is in his deliberate choice of imagery that is now…

Dude's whole career is based on biting other people's art. Surprised he hasn't been sued for it sooner. Fairey has made a very successful career of recombining and re-contextualizing familiar imagery, but what specific 'other people's art' is he b…

This is really sad. Gonna be listening to the Cramps all day. "Let's whoop it up and have a real bad time!"

He could have easily flown his 'secret girlfriend' to Baltimore from NC and had a extremely satisfying weekend in the privacy of his own home(s).

23 year-old smokes weed. Film at 11... He should re-evaluate his "friends," though. As a recognizable world-class athlete with multi-millions for endorsements, he should re-evaluate partying like a rock star with opportunistic college kids. You'd …

Anyone check this out yet? It's a pretty good listen, and I think Frankie's Party Life might have some dancefloor potential with the right crowd. Might cop. This is totally up my DJ alley. I'm playing this out asap.

The whole limited/bootleg/mashup thing is kinda keeping them going. That's the future for them, unless they can really go digital. Any other strong act or label in the genre coming out now can get rep in the US without Groove. Plus all of Groove…

[...] there isn't much need for a Groove Distribution nowadays, which is too bad. Even without Tru Thoughts in its stock, I will support Groove until the very end. I still think Groove does a great service. I wouldn't know about nearly as much hott…

I think about this a lot because I started working for Groove Distribution right when it opened, and our niche was downtempo so that genre was kinda my life for a little bit. Plus we would push 12"s from guys like Quantic and Gotan Project then feel…

It makes perfect sense that they have broad 'lounge music' appeal, but a crossover to the Starbucks crowd implies they've sold out. You're right, they haven't. And I wasn't implying that. Through talent and hard work, they were able to reach a …

I'm still into downtempo and shit like that, but I haven't checked for Thievery Corp in years. Once they went all worldy-sitar-psychedelic, I left them behind. I'm more of a Tru Thoughts guy now. TM Juke, Quantic, Diesler... all brilliant produc…

Nice one, C.! Definitely going to be spending time with the excavations soon...

they have been doing really well, but I haven't been myself (I am usually DJing that night). I don't THINK they go too deep with it, but it is supposed to be a fun night. I think there are like 6 or so DJs so I am sure they vary in style and skill q…

Two days ago, I was on a short road trip for work (on-site client visit in PA). The creative director and I were listening to TV on the Radio's Dear Science. I can't be certain since it was my first time hearing the album, but I swear I heard (and d…
