VISUAL NOTES: Art In The Age Music Round-Up
This week's VISUAL NOTES features a weekly round-up of musings on fine art, design, musicians/bands, and related news. Each week I really do delight in scouring the internet for cool marriages of art and music. This week, however, a whole slew of really exciting art and music news fell right into my lap. Literally. The press kit for new Seattle-based rockers, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, was placed directly into my hands for review. Two in-the-know coworkers passed along excellent videos to me. And postcards for Philadelphia First Friday openings showed up in the lobby of my studio.
What immense fortune! And now it's doubled, because I'm sharing it with you. Have a gander:
1. The Philly Challenge: This Weekend in Art & Local Music
First Friday Must-Sees and West Philly's Annual Best Fest!
2. Radiohead Fan Has 'Big Ideas' About Old Technology
Reeeeeeeee-mix! Get nostalgic for your old IBM hard drive.
3. And The Award for Best Hand-Made Musical Press Kit Goes To... Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band!
Find out what a married couple, their adopted son, two bearded men, and toy soldiers have in common.
4. NEWSWORTHY: David Byrne "Plays The Building" In Manhattan
Hands down, the number one find of the week. David Byrne takes over a warehouse exhibition space.
Happy Weekend, Walrus Friends!
