1. This profile and interview with Fernando Llanos

This week, “We Make Money Not Art” has a profile of and interview with Fernando Llanos. I didn’t really know anything about him before reading this and I’ve never seen his installations, but it was both fascinating and inspiring to hear about him.

2. Newsweek Interview with Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers.

Great interview. I’d never actually read any interviews with Sendak before, but I love his abrasive worldview. It’s also interesting the way he seems like he’s trying not to step on Spike Jonze’s work, but obviously he still does distance himself from it. Good stuff.

3. ‘Suicide’ live on WFMU

Apparently, earlier in 2009, legendary NYC electro duo, Suicide, got back together. I hope it wasn’t just a one-time thing. Either way, now it’s on the internet for everyone to hear. They’ve actually only put up two songs…but still it’s very rad.

OK, that’s it for now. There will be more of these posts soon. I promise.

So it’s Monday morning and here in my cluttered, remote office I’m battling back a tidal wave of infrastructure catastrophies, customer support requests, and a backlog of unfinished work and unresponded to emails from last week. There are files that need parsing; parsers that need fixing. But things are not so bad. I have Atlas Sound to listen to. I have my coffee from Blue State. And I just discovered this awesome, awesome skate video.

I’m not so much into this skate porn genre necessarily but I am a sometime camera fetishist. This video was shot with a “Red” which is apparently some sort of high frame rate video beast. I don’t know exactly how they intend to depict a 120fps movie on a computer screen which can only hope to refresh 60fps max and I think the top actual frame rate for Flash is 30fps.

Okay, more later.

habitatskater89. one of my myspace friends, used “Desert Island Blues” as the backing music for his skate montage. awesome! =rk
