It seems once an element of pop culture is aged enough, curators deem it worthy of the museum. In 2010, Seattle Art Museum mounted “Kurt,” a completely serious exhibition on “Seattle’s greatest cultural export,” Kurt Cobain. Last week, Pac-Man and other arcade games opened at the MoMA. It’s been over a decade since MTV stopped […]
I don’t know whether it’s the cheap hotels or the totalitarian landlords, the beautiful bathrooms or the ever-changing public art, but something about New York City seems to attract people! Crazy, right? And now, more than ever–for the first time in 60 years, more people are moving into NYC than out of it. Mayor Bloomberg, of […]
It looks like your erotic space fantasies won’t make it beyond your sticky Star Wars sheets in the morning — at least not if you care about your health. A new study shows that interstellar intercourse could actually be life-threatening. Researchers studying plant cells found that gravity changes can seriously harm living cells. As if […]
We stopped by the Bowery mural earlier today to check on the progress. CRASH told us that the mural should be completed by Saturday. There were only a few people hanging around — all either CRASH’s assistants or photographers. Enjoy! (More photos in the gallery.) (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
The finest food and drink in New York has to end up somewhere, but even the fanciest of restaurants seem shy about sharing their bathrooms. This series documents those rarely discussed amenities.

Do you use the bus system? Do you feel like a total dumbass at your stop waiting for a bus that seems like it’ll never show up, even though it’s only a couple minutes before the scheduled arrival time which is entirely dependent on the consistency of bus drivers? Then you start worrying, “Maybe it crashed,” and […]
How are we expected to celebrate Pi day when there’s not even a Google doodle to mark the occasion? There’s this Kickstarter, for one, where an artist and a faculty member from Williamsburg’s Green School are hoping to raise money for their students to paint a mathematical mural celebrating the famous figure. Painter Ellie Balk and […]
Yarn-bombing street diva Olek strikes again, this time bedecking a giant billboard in Oakland with her token neon pink crochet camo and a flirty statement: Boys! According to her Twitter, this is “The first crocheted billboard ever!” which is really not all that shocking, considering the painstaking effort it must have taken to cover the […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. To celebrate the release of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience this week, we’re looking at Sly, Slick, & Wicked’s “Sho’ Nuff,” which provides the basis for “Suit & Tie” as well […]
“My pussy is a maze. My pussy is a mirror.” This cray DIY music video was made to promote The Maze & the Mirror, “a dystopian science fiction play” happening at a punk warehouse in Oakland this weekend. “Your favorite future diva” plays the lead and sings the song. Also, by “club” I mean the grass […]
