Sartre said ‘Hell is other people’. And I’ve subscribed to that in my ignorance for a long time. But I realize life is meaningless without other people. Without other people, there’s no way to define yourself and nothing to define yourself against. And worst of all there’s no one there to notice whatever the hell… Read more »

Can’t wait for this. It’s their first collaboration in 30 years… I believe that’s a reference to “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” from 1981, which is famous for using “found” sounds and cross-pollinating everything from world music to dance to funk and sheer quirkiness.

Last Friday was the opening night of the DC Arts Center’s 1460 Wall Mountables gallery event. This is an annual tradition where the gallery’s walls are divided into 2’x2′ spaces and it’s a free-for-all for local artists to come in and claim their spot. Once it’s claimed, they’re free to use that space however they… Read more »

Mail order Chinese brides… I think they exist! I had to rub my eyes a couple times when I first saw this website ChnLOVE.com. It’s an online service to facilitate what appears to be predominantly strange, moustached men seeking loyal and honest Chinese women for wives. It could pass as just another online dating service… Read more »
