Shia LeBeouf Will Be Doing Some Kind Of Jogging Performance At A Museum
Shia LaBeouf continues his foray into art and/or nervous breakdown. On September 8th, LaBeouf began tweeting his nike+ jogging routes. Each of the thirteen routes formed a character or letter and when they’re all combined they spell out #METAMARATHON. Yesterday, he tweeted “#METAMARATHON at the @Stedelijk Amsterdam 09.25.14.” What does it all mean? The only other clue is his […]
Listen In: Tacocat Made You A Playlist
“Listen In“ is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. Click the big play button above to hear the whole playlist or scroll down to see and hear individual tracks.

All Music Is The Same: Introducing the “Gotye Interval”
A leap of a minor sixth or perfect fifth, beginning on a key’s fifth or sixth note and jumping up past the tonic to its fourth, before resolving down a half step to the third. It’s a cheesy, melodramatic melodic move, and it’s popped up in its fair share of pop songs recently. Often, the […]
How Twerking on Vine Sent Years-Old Rap Songs Up the iTunes Charts
Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop,” to many people’s chagrin, has become one of the biggest songs of the summer. The striking video, full of drug allusions, playful sexual images and questionable racial posing, immediately sparked controversy. It has over 90 million views on YouTube, and though there was strong backlash to the racial accessorizing of […]
Selena Gomez’s Cover of Buju Banton Song Is Fucking Horrible
I have no problem with Miley Cyrus making twerk videos or songs about twerk videos, but Selena Gomez’s reworking of Buju Banton’s hit tune “Walk Like a Champion” is just terrible. It should have never happened and it’s too bad there’s no way to strike it from existence in every dimension just in case there […]
This Is What Happens When You Let Kanye Finish
Ah, the Met Ball. It’s like, um, various celebrities getting garlanded and vaguely commenting on whatever the Metropolitan Museum of Art happens to be high-profile-hyping at the time. This year they resurrected punk just so they could kill it again. Ok, I’m not really old enough to say that with any validity. I am, however, old enough to […]
Porn Star Carter Cruise Learns How to Tag With Graffiti Writer SABE KST
ANIMAL paired SABE, a NYC-based graffiti writer and artist, with Carter Cruise, an adult film star and deejay. The mission? Teach her graffiti. Cruise met up with us in an industrial area near the Queens-Brooklyn border. SABE pulled out a drippy marker and wrote his name and then hers. He handed her the mop filled […]
Occupy Wall Street’s Second Anniversary in Photos
This morning, I headed down to Zuccotti Park, formerly known as Liberty Plaza to witness what I assumed would be a massive celebration of Occupy Wall Street’s two year anniversary. Only about 120 people showed up — at least 30% of them were journalists — and protesters who carried large bags or held signs on […]
