DORSET, ENGLAND///HOMER vs THE PAGANS…

July 17th, 2007

homerpagan.jpg

With enough marketing dollars to buy out the Springfield “Nuc-u-lar” Plant, the PR juggernaut behind the SIMPSONS MOVIE has taken it to the Earth, this time drawing a massive visage of a donut-wielding HOMER beside the ancient “GIANT ON THE HILL” in Cerne Abbas, Dorset, England. The centuries-old 180ft chalk-filled Earth carving is a pagan fertility idol and local followers are angered by the tightie whitie-wearing intruder. Homer is drawn on the grass with biodegradable paint that will wash away completely in the first heavy rain but word has it neighborhood pagans may stage an “intervention” on their own with buckets of water. First a giant Homer, then a rioting town? Who are these PR masterminds? It’s like the TV show itself is coming to life. “Must. See. Movie”…

TEXAS///MUSIC///LOST AT THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS FESTIVAL

aclfestblog57.jpg
Just got back from a very long, lost weekend in Austin at LANCE ARMSTRONG’s epic (and ridiculously underrated) AUSTIN CITY LIMITS FESTIVAL, where 40,000+ revelers gathered for three days of incredible music, beer, and BBQ. With a lineup featuring over 140 bands including ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS, BECK, FOO FIGHTERS, THE BLACK KEYS, NERD, THE MARS VOLTA, SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS, NEKO CASE, MGMT, HOT CHIP, and CSS, performing on multiple stages, the sun-drenched sonic rendezvous was only enhanced by the unparalleled coolness of the mostly Austinite crowd that still appreciates rock ‘n’ roll on a level rarely seen outside of Europe.

NEWS///STREET LIFE///BANKSY PAINTS NEW ORLEANS AS KATRINA MEMORIAL

banksyopener.jpg
One wouldn’t normally expect to find the world’s most Googled street artist lurking among the ruins of the lower ninth ward in NEW ORLEANS, but that’s just where renegade stencil artist BANKSY has been holed up for the past week, covering the desiccated city with art to commemorate the anniversary of KATRINA, the hurricane that killed 1800 people when it struck the coastal city in 2005. Said Banksy of the operation, “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean-up operation,” and attested that the city’s levee wall offered “the best painting surface in the state of Louisiana.” In the art world, timing is everything, and as the anonymous bomber wraps up his project, the city once again braces for the onslaught of an oncoming tropical storm. Hopefully, once residents realize what’s been painted on their doorstop, a quick sawsall session and a little eBay savvy will net them enough to build a mansion in the French Quarter. HAVE A LOOK:
