it appears that punk is not dead afterall



from OldNavy.com:
"Let the revolution begin with you. Our "punk" graphic tees allude to the do-it-yourself aesthetic of the original movement."

Standing at the precipice of revolution, I pause to reflect: will this t-shirt save the world, or destroy it?

worship of the object



Since Steve Ditko's original artwork for 1962's "Amazing Fantasy 15" — the first appearance of the Spider-Man — was donated to the Library of Congress in April, a new breed of researcher has been spotted at the library.

"I've never, ever had researchers have their picture taken with works of art, until now," said Sara W. Duke, a curator of popular and applied graphic art at the library. "It's almost like a worship of the object that goes on."

Two people with no plans to visit, however, are the webslinger's creative team: writer/editor Stan Lee and artist Ditko.

"I'm just too busy," said Lee, 85, in an interview from his California offices. "Plus, I've already seen them. I'm not someone who lives in the past too much."

Ditko, 80, was more abrupt. When reached at his Manhattan studio, he would only say: "I couldn't care less."



ok so right until this moment I did not realize there was an alternate, way cooler Steve Ditko version of the AF15 cover. I mean, look at that fucking thing. It is beautiful. On the basis of this alone I am tempted to declare that Ditko was a superior artist to Jack Kirby, but I don't want to get crazy here.

This is the product of a day wasted gawking at hipster music blogs.

other music I listened to today:

I asked a friend last night if she likes The Black Lips, and she answered, "you mean... like Obama's?"



This is Miley Cyrus. She is like that dude from The Killers, but less glamorous.

recently I learned that the PiL song "Death Disco" is properly called "Swan Lake". I haven't yet decided if I should change the name of the blog to reflect this.
