a dozen og photos of terrible taxidermy

fascinating piece of writing about the culture of football, one man teabags another, the victim passed out drunk at a NoLa burger joint. The story tells of the consquences of that actio.

Toronto Poetry Broadsides from the 2010  Scream Festival.

This just needs  the subhead:
A man who dresses up as a giraffe and carries out random acts of kindness towards people across Scotland has said he does it to feel good.

Girogia Griffa  is an Italian painter from the 70s--radically simply, pigments on raw canvas or burlap,  sets of lines or squiggles, in barely present pastels. Towards the edge of marking. 

Rare live performance of the Cuckolded Husband, explicitly references to castration, from a private concert in Ed McCurdy in the early 1960s. 

my friend Graham in Zambia, writes about Alberta.

The best thing about Stan Bitters early expirments in Cermaics, is that they have the same formal innovation as fellow californian Ken Price--but instead of wit and subtlety, Bitters goes in for crude bluntness, there is something charming in the sheer ugliness of his work. esp. the yellow and blueblack glazes in teh second link.

13 minute live performance by Luke Bryan--an article on genre hyrbdity can come out of this.

sometimes you don't need anything subtle.  Superflex, the Danish Collective, makes banners featuring the logos of dead banks--halfway between notes on vanquished enemies, and marks of those who have power--plus a certain wryness about the design and fine art.

and sometimes you need super subtle Bill Walton, from Philly, has been making assembaleges for 40 years. They are mostly about the question of what makes sculpture--questions of forms that repeat, turn in on themselves, unify by colour, encompass or expand, including work that is found, placed, or constructed--and the differences between those three questions.
