Photo Issues, Pt. II | Storyboard from Wired.com
I’m the photo editor on this experiment. I guess I’ll fill you in on the juice of what happens next with the photo shoot attempts. First, I get the contact info for the subject from the editor. She gets it from the writer, and busts it back to me. My contact was Sony’s publicist—he has requested I not reveal his name, so we’ll call him The Publicist.

METAL INQUISITION: Retroview: Confessor – Condemned
“You’ve never heard anything like this!” is, for the most part, an overused and meaningless phrase, that is unless you happen to be talking about Confessor. Their debut album, Condemned, is one of the most uniquely bizarre metal records I’ve ever heard. A brilliant mix of seemingly incongruous elements Confessor’s deranged sound is truly unforgettable. Imagine a vocalist that sounds like a woman screaming for her life, doom riffs so heavy and crunchy they’d make Candlemass green with envy, and serpentine drumming so complex and off-kilter it’d make Tomas Haake’s head spin. Released back in 1991 on Earache Records, it’s easy to see how Condemned flew over everyone’s heads

Juxtapalooza – LA Weekly
Jason Hernandez, Lifeline (2008)“Even among art that aims to be free of traditional categories and definitions, there is an ever-present danger of calcification and rampant commercialization,” warns a recent dispatch from Atwater Village gallery Black Maria promoting its upcoming “No Brow” exhibit. “These dangers threaten to turn even the most unorthodox of movements into an exercise in mainstream banality. The very success of the Lowbrow movement may curb those features that once distinguished it from ‘Highbrow’ art, with its rules and value judgments.” I’ve actually been hearing this line of critique for a few years now — particularly since 2006 with the sudden departure of longtime Juxtapoz editor Jamie O’Shea and equally untimely demise of the Lowbrow journal of record’s publisher Fausto Vitello. Juxtapoz, which claims to be the most widely read art magazine in the world, and Lowbrow were completely synonymous for a time. But the once-hermetic underground comics/hot-rod/tattoo/graffiti scene has exploded more than anyone could have imagined, with a bigger tent that includes digital artists, sneaker designers, collector’s-doll manufacturers and several generations of commercial illustrators ±— and an increasing number of gifted young artists from the Highbrow art world.

we have read quite a bit in the “comments” about the “a good time was had by all” at this year’s Visa Pour L’Image (Perpignan)…and surely this was true….at least by most…however, this year’s photo fest, which celebrates conflict photography above all, was in fact, in itself, a scene of violence and death…

The revolution will be streamed: RNC arrests rooted in YouTube
A series of preemptive police raids on Twin Cities anarchist groups prior to last week’s Republican National Convention roiled the blogosphere, after prominent progressive writers such as Salon’s Glenn Greenwald and Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake posted video from the scene. But according to a warrant affidavit filed by the Ramsey County sheriff, it was a YouTube video that may have piqued the authorities’ interest in the first place.
