Is New Better? (3)


Michael Williams, Loddie, 2007

In support of the notion that "the era in which new was better is over, and we're free to do whatever we want," I offer Roberta Smith's column in today's New York Times:

"Painting may be in a similar place right now, fomented mostly, but not always, by young painters who have emerged in the last decade. They feel freer to paint what they want than at any time since the 1930s, or maybe even the 1890s, when post-Impressionism was at its height."

Photographers should pay attention to this.

Medicine for Melancholy



A nice recounting of a one-night stand, and its aftermath, made by people who obviously love San Francisco. I don't know what it is about this city, but I'm glad I live here.

Popular Songs



Some people complain that Yo La Tengo just does the same thing over and over. Even if that were true, I'm not sure it would be anything to complain about. Popular Songs, their latest, is excellent. Why do something different when what you do is this good?
