Good morning! What if famous records were not records but books? These Record Books by graphic designer Christophe Gowans imagine that world and it’s weird but also fun.

rollingstone:

Radiohead’s Pablo Honey was released 20 years ago today. Read our first story on Radiohead from 1993, when the band was relatively unknown and we called “Creep” “the most audacious pop move since the Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take.’”

Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, Ai Weiwei

“On the surface level, the photo set appears to mock artistic fetishism: Ai looks like he could not possibly give a fuck as he lets the valuable artifact shatter on the ground. There’s a sublime disregard in the pictures; it’s art against art like Kruger’s sentences are ads against ads. But as an artist, Ai can’t destroy art, he can only make more. From one urn, he gets three pictures. If I went into the Hirshhorn, grabbed one of the photos off the wall, and let it fall to ground like I didn’t give a fuck, I would be arrested and taken to jail. It’s only freedom of expression if you break something you own, otherwise it’s vandalism.”

- “U.S.Ai” by Malcolm Harris

“When the tours were extended … especially in 2007, all these troops in Iraq and Afghanistan were about to go home, and then their tours were extended three or four months. It wasn’t something that really registered for me as a reporter in Washington, D.C., at the time, but when I was reporting this book it became very clear that it was one of the more traumatic events of the deployment for the troops there in 2006-2007. They thought they were going home: ‘We have survived. We made it. I only have two more days and then I’m going home. I will see my wife. I will see my baby. I survived. I lived.’ … And all of a sudden word came in that their tours were extended three or four months. It was crushing … because they were convinced that this decision would mean somebody would lose their life who ultimately would not have.”

- CNN host and author of The Outpost Jake Tapper tells Terry Gross about the impact of extended tours of duty on troops in Afghanistan. (via nprfreshair)

twheelercastillo:

A modern adaptation of an Afro-Cuban Yoruba Religion (Santeria) myth, Miami bass legend Otto Von Schirach (playing the role of Chango, god of thunder) battles to keep an inter-dimensional creature (serpent god Damballah) from ruining his dinner date.

This was easily my favorite video from the last Borscht Film Festival.

“You need to ask questions and you need to ask the right questions. Alan asked me how I saw the man and I said, ‘I saw him as Abraham Lincoln –- I don’t see him as a villain. This man is a hero with his agenda, with his point of view.’ I did not intend to play Clayton Townley as one chromosome short of a human being, like a lot of people will play various villains in movies … In real life, everyone kind of sees themselves as the good guy, doing what they’re doing. They see themselves as a kind of hero, and I wanted to make sure Clayton Townley … wasn’t played as some kind of genetic miscreant.”
