		<title>Warming up for a new season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A nice behind the scenes picture of one of the first bands I worked with, The National, rehearsing for a round of shows that will preview their new album, High Violet. Via Mr. Brandon Reid, their most excellent production manager.
New album drops May 11th. I&#8217;ve heard it. It&#8217;s good. They even have a Twitter now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Bowie sang a song called cha-cha-cha-cha-changes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just remember, life is always a rehearsal &#038; nobody is perfect. Even David Bowie.
Also, mix engineers are very important.
And sometimes enigmatic is best.

		<title>Die Antwoord transcend &amp; transgress (NSFW): A (particulary) short attention span essay on one strand of South African culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Read this interview with Die Antwoord. Or this one. Or, better yet, catch up with them by reading this informative, catch-all post. Or just listen to their music here.
Where does it seem like their music belongs? South Africa where they&#8217;re all from? Or is it strangely Japanese in some way? Or proudly internationalist despite their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some thoughts on Black Mountain College &amp; the nature of communities</title>

Among those who taught there during its brief, 24-year lifespan were Josef and Anni Albers, Alfred Kazin, John Cage, Harry Callahan, Robert Creeley, Merce Cunningham, Willem and Elaine de [...]]]></description>

		<title>The world-wide visual culture industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
from Calvin Tomkins Lives of the Artists:
&#8220;The art world, which used to be a community, is now part of the world wide visual culture industry, which includes film, fashion, television, and advertising, and works overtime to trample down the boundaries that used to keep them separate.&#8221;
And what are my thoughts exactly?

That Tomkins is on to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nanoculture aka &#8220;Douglas Coupland has no Facebook or MySpace page.&#8221; (But he does have a Twitter.)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Excerpt from one of Deborah Solomon&#8217;s infamously condensed interviews in The New York Times Magazine. (I like them.) With Douglas Coupland, famous Canadian, infamous coiner of the term Gen X. The quote in the subject line of this post is drawn directly from his website. Funny, that.

The favorite notice I&#8217;ve read comes (as [...]]]></description>
