I had no idea this was happening. I knew the oceans were polluted, but shit….
“…crew found plastic trash bobbing in a thick line from horizon to horizon—everything from tiny particles to 5-inch-thick towing lines, Japanese traffic cones, and yellow quart bottles of American crankcase oil. “We followed the debris for more than a mile, and we never found the end of it….”

With the arrival of Japan’s rainy season, a glow-in-the-dark mushroom begins to sprout in Wakayama prefecture. The Mycena lux-coeli mushrooms sprout from fallen chinquapin trees and as they grow, a chemical reaction involving a light-emitting pigment occurs, causing them to glow a ghostly green.

Tim Nobel and Sue Webster take piles of trash and make art into them… but sometimes the art isn’t apparent until you see it in a different light.
500 E – Oct 6/7 – Marfa TX

500E - http://500eartspace.com/
Less than 12 hours ago i got asked to be in a DIY artshow in Marfa Tx for the big Open House weekend sponsored by the Chinati Foundation. Many people know Marfa as that “place with the unexplained lights” but it has become an artist retreat since the filming of the filming of Giant in the 50’s with James Dean and Liz Taylor. Donald Judd put Marfa on the map as well for his minimalist sculptures. Dan Flavin has also had a presence there as well with some permanent installation work. Flavin did that crazy light changing hallway in the MFAH.
The biggest excitement about this year is that Sonic Youth (i’m not linking this one) will be giving a free show in the new Thunder Bird Hotel’s performance space (same owner as the san jose in austin, on soco). In 2004 Yo La Tengo played.
Saturday is a free meal and provided to EVERYONE in the city in an open dinning experience in “downtown” Marfa (it’s only two blocks).
… so the art show will be me and Adreon Henry (singleframe, they are playing too) with some other artists i am not familiar with but surely it should be grand.

There are some strong shows this year at ACL but i am still debating going all three days. We’ll see. In the meantime here are a few ACL realted shows. As you know Austin starts a pre-fest and goes beyond the weekend. Not that i will be attending EVERYTHING, but here are some recommends. Champagne palace has a stocked fridge and a spare couch.
THU:

- Single Frame, A Few Nice Things, Faceless Werewolves, Young Heart Attack, Flosstradamus, DJ Mel (this is quite a varied lineup but should bring the house down easily).

I’d consider this trip hop even though the phrase is not used but good latin style french dub/downtempo.
