There’s a brand new artist interview video series on Netartnet.net and, as ANIMAL’s Art Editor, I’m jealous. Artist Anthony Antonellis’s Netartnet.net project — “quick access to netart listings… all netart gallery bookmarks and RSS feeds in one place” — celebrated its one year anniversary this week, with more than 300 exhibitions and 1000 artists logged and with archives reaching back into […]
Phenazepam or “da joose” is a benzodiazepine drug that expresses the 5 typical benzo actions: sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant. In other words — chill out, go to bed, stop worrying, stop seizing and stop twitching. Phenazepam is just as dangerous as any other CNS depressant and is habit forming. Mixing it with […]
Pagan sacrifice! Violent flailing! SEX! When Igor Stravinsky The Rite of Spring ballet premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris 100 years ago today, there were fist fights in the audience.

Watch ’em swaying to clinky Caribbean-esque “dope beats” until a Giant Bubble Butt Medusa Woman comes down Godzilla style, sprouts bike pumps out of her mouth and pumps their seapunk butts until they are of proper Bubble […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. Small Black’s “Listen In” playlist, compiled by singer Josh Kolenik, is a crash course in arted-up new wave and outsider folk, with cuts from acid-fried Moby Grape singer Skip Spence, San Francisco street […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, Nicolas Sassoon takes us through the construction of Headquarters for Computers Club. Headquarters started out as random conversations with Krist Wood a few years ago. The Computers Club website was undergoing some changes at the time, and Krist offered me […]
