French Subterranean Art Terrorists?

Underground ‘terrorists’ with a mission to save city’s neglected heritage
The UX: Kind of sounds fun, kind of sounds irresponsible, dangerous, and, maybe could be giving bad ideas to the wrong people. French artists who explore underground catacombs under Paris, sneak into museums, deactivating alarms, etc. They’ve broken into the Pantheon (the French Pantheon), [...]

Oust the Smell of Life–Home Air Fresheners as the Agent Orange in the Chemical Industries’ War on Family Households and Human Life

Daft Punk’s Human After All: Inspired by KITT, Knight Rider

The lyrics for the song and album title Human After All may likely have been inspired by this clip from the first episode of Knight Rider where KITT states, “After all, we’re only human, right?” which is creepy, since KITT is a robot. Human/robot–many themes which Daft Punk constantly explores, especially in Electroma. Check out [...]

Toxic Cleaning Products, Environmental Pollution, and Negative Externalities

So you might read those labels (many of us don’t) on toxic products like oven cleaners and dishwashing machine detergent, etc., where you find out that they can cause birth defects, you shouldn’t get them on your hands, you should always wear rubber gloves (many people don’t) when using them, they can damage [...]

Le Bass-Acid Bitch (partial mp3)
Le Bass
I’ve been looking for this track for like 13 years since hearing it on the radio…”Acid bitch, get out of my mind, give me a future, give me some time…”

New Jay-Z: Blue Magic, featuring Pharrell, from the upcoming American Gangster album

New Jay-Z: Blue Magic (mp3), courtesy of Spine Magazine, produced by and featuring Pharrell, from the upcoming American Gangster album.
First verses aren’t that great but it gets better–keeping it real simple, sounds kind of like late 90s/early 2000s Jay-Z before the fame got to his head. The Black Album was a bit indulgent, sort [...]
