Ear to the Earth: The Music of Cicadas
Entomophobics are probably sitting indoors on this warm May day, white-knuckled with fear about what New York Magazine has called the “cicada plague,” which is soon to bring billions — yes, billions — of the inch-and-a-half-long, red-eyed insects to our fair city after a seventeen-year underground slumber. With a name like “Brood II,” the event [...]

Mix of the Day: Giorgio Moroder Live at Deep Space
iframe not supported! “Good evening, ladies and gentleman,” a vocoder intoned dramatically in the dead of night at Brooklyn’s new club, Output “My name is Giorgio Moroder.” And so began Monday’s premiere of Moroder’s DJ act — believe it or not, the 72 year old’s first ever North American DJ set.

Arne Svenson – The Neighbors
Three years ago, Arne Svenson, a photographer living in lower Manhattan, inherited a CT-501 500-mm. Nikon telephoto lens from a bird-watching friend. The lens was perfect for shooting faraway egrets or sanderlings, but Svenson, who favors still-lifes, knew nothing of nature photography. ‘I thought, I’ve got to try it out,’ he said the other day at [...]

Red and white match any outfit, even if it’s not V-day. The all-over print is sure to catch the eyes — and hearts — of passersby. It is the [...]
Kanye West Goes Martial Rap, But He’s Not The First
The reality of Kanye West taking the Saturday Night Live stage with a scorching anger shook up the sound grids, for certain. And there’s no doubt, he’s taking a risk by performing the eviscerating harsh noise-rap of “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” on the nation’s most iconic late night show. But West has never been [...]

Brain Calvin is an artist, born and raised in California. His work has become synonymous with the sun-drenched sands and lifestyle of L.A. living, his portraits, those appearing in Raf Simons Spring 2013 collection, feature bleary-eyed youth, painted on backgrounds that are ‘generalized glimpses of California’. The Belgian designer used Calvin’s art on oversized t-shirts, [...]

Suave Like Sauvé – Sebastian Sauvé
We picked a model’s brain to see if there was anything in there and it turns out that Sebastian Sauvé (Premier London) is more than just a pretty boy. Even if he is the ultimate model-photographer cliche. I mean when you look like this, you have to ride the wave, any which way it goes. [...] >>
The BLVCK SCVLE Theory
A tinge of Soho, a pinch of Fifth Ave, a linger of Rodeo Drive. This physically describes Black Scale NYC, a just-down-the-road yet out of the way menswear destination. On a slate grey cobblestone street in the city that never sleeps, a sliding door entrance opens to a polished all-black-everything ‘man cave’ if you will. [...] >>

It’s not about who you know. It’s about knowing who you are. And strutting your stuff. That’s kind of what I’ve gathered from Jay Strut, a Toronto-based fashion blogger. We’re still getting used to this term and it’s definition, much to the annoyance of established fashion journalists and editors, who work to keep fashions’ gates [...] >>

Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire
Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer Jason [...] >>
