The Modern Age

Last night we went to a reopening party at the MoMA that The Zutons were playing.
Last night we drank a lot of alcohol, so right now’s not a good time to write about the new MoMA.
But we will say that the new building is cool, we especially liked where you could see the staircases from [...]

Band Aid 20 singing “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” revealed over at Stereogum. Why is everyone in this British? And why the hell is this so bad? Not that the original was so awesome, but at least they were multicultural. Jesus. Is this even going to make any money?

In sad news, Mary-Kate has been dressing like a rich homeless person, sporting a oversized [...]

We were so psyched to get our new issue of Teen Vogue today. We were doubly psyched when we remembered that Catherine’s iPod cozies were featured in it. Rock on!

“Four gay ex-Mormons from Utah find a three-bedroom apartment in the West Village for $2,600 a month.”
Almost sounded like the intro to a Killers article, didn’t it?

By now you’ve probably read the New York Times review of the new MOMA, so why don’t you check out the fashion spread of modern art’s new home as it appears in Annie Leibovitz’s photos for Vogue?
