That 10-ton meteorite that crashed into a lake in Chelyabinsk at 30,000 mph is still at the bottom of that lake until September 25th, when it will be removed for scientific purposes… unless founder of the Church of the Chelyabinsk Meteorite Andrei Breivichko can stop it. Breivichko says that the “celestial body” should only be removed by the “psychic priests” […]
Yeezus wants a new logo, and, because he is a man of wealth and taste, he is going to the best: Peter Saville, the man who branded Joy Division, New Order, and Factory Records. According to Saville, who announced the partnership at the Global Design Forum in London this week, his working relationship with Kanye […]

The short student film “Noah” follows a teenager mid- and post-girlfriend drama in form of screen recordings of his internet activity. It’s smart. And depressing. Has POV like this been attempted before? Stalkerish Facebook behavior. Chats. Skypes. Porn. Exciting stuff. And then, a cathartic opus with a stranger on Chat Roulette at the end. Directed by […]

Wall Street Journal reporter and Crowd Goes Wild contributor Jason Gay snapped the above pic. Looks like fun. “Words can’t express the experience I had that day,” says Williams […]
When A$AP Rocky first started making waves back in 2011, my first impression of him was only that his name was similar to that of Aesop Rock, the motormouthed, surrealist rapper of whom I was a borderline obsessive fan back in high school. Now, here’s a video of the two meeting backstage at Rock the […]
A raw, rippling Pharmakon noise performance. A reading from Richard Hell. A massive, enveloping, collaborative sound art performance piece with Matthew Barney. In a 19th century glue factory, at last weekend’s Basilica SoundScape art and music festival, all this happened. DAY 1 MG: The venue is in Hudson — a two hour train-ride from Penn Station […]
To mark the second anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, documentarian Paul Sullivan released this film he made of the protests and police response that happened last year.
