Radiolab points to this priceless photo of Alexander Graham Bell kissing his wife inside a tetrahedreal kite. If this isn’t love, what is?

For D’Angelo’s disciples, last night’s intimate Brooklyn Bowl show was a chance to see an artist defined by distance and mystery up close.
HELL YES!

Olafur Eliasson - The Weather Project (2003)
“Representations of the sun and sky dominate the expanse of Turbine Hall. A fine mist permeates the space, as if creeping in from the environment outside. Throughout the day, the mist accumulates into faint, cloud-like formations, before dissipating across the space.
At the far end of the hall is a giant semi-circular form made of hundreds of mono-frequency lamps.
Generally used in street lighting, mono-frequency lamps emit light at such a narrow frequency that colors other than yellow and black are invisible, thus transforming the visual field around the sun into a vast duotone landscape.”

Nathalie Miebach makes baskets. But instead of making standard-issue baskets and filling them with fruit, she uses basket weaving as a way to interpret data. Meteorological data, astronomical data, all kinds of stuff.
For example, that sculpture on top?

My boys over at MJ MJ Records just sent me this awesome track by Detroit’s Ben Christensen who sounds like the second coming of Beck. I can’t believe this one’s been sitting on a desk for over a year. As label head Andy Todryk tells it, “About a year ago this guy Ben played a show at my old house in LA and knocked our effing socks off. We immediately offered to put out his record and, to our astonishment, he said yes. Unfortunately a big ol shit storm of circumstance forced MJ into a year of hiatus and we were unable to put it out.” So glad the ship had righted.
Get the Ø EP on ultra-ltd cassette tape when it comes out on February 25th.
