An Itinerant Refugee in a Hip-Hop World – New York Times
For her follow-up, “Kala,†to be released by Interscope Records on Tuesday, the original strategy was the conventional one: to pair up with brand-name producers and shoot for pop hits. But things did not go according to plan. Instead the album became,

Another year, another Siren Festival. Last year was certainly one of the best Sirens I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to ALL seven of them, starting w/ the first one in 2001), so I had high hopes for this year’s festival.
I really look forward to going to the fest each year, and every freaking year I manage to forget how hot, sweaty, and exhausting the event is until I actually get there. This time I was a bit more prepared than previous times–equipped with a hat, shades, and two bottles of sunblock. Next year I might go as so far as being one of *those* people, who wear a bathing suit underneath their clothing–you know, in case I want to play Hypodermic Needle Hunt in the sand.
Anyhoo…due to the MTA being awesome and deciding to re-route the N/Q trains to run on the R line, I ended up getting to Coney Island a little later than expected–unfortunately missing White Rabbits. I did however arrive in time to catch a bit of Elvis Perkins in Dearland on the Stillwell Stage b/c everything was running late.

…in the leaked Walk Hard trailer, of course. (Link from Mr. E.)
For some reason it doesn’t seem as funny as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a parody of ALL musical biopics, not JUST Walk the Line. Kinda a weird concept. Here’s to hoping for the best…
Oh and today is the 30 year anniversary of Elvis’s death. Wonder how Jack (who plays The King in the movie) celebrated.

Hey guys–sorry my updating has been very lacking of late. I’m steadily and rapidly falling into old lady-hood, as you can probably tell by my choice of delicious links. Oh yeah, and I started doing yoga again. I’m trying out a bunch of studios in downtown Manhattan, so if you have any recommendations, let me know. I’m at an advanced beginner-intermediate level.
Anyhoo, here’s a photo sent in by S. from Rolling Stone (?) showing Jack White in his Elvis role in the new mockumentary written by Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan, Walk Hard. As you can see from the battle shot, John C. Reilly stars in the film as Dewey Cox.

Naked Came the Really Strange Interiors – New York Times
JUSTIN JORGENSEN was visiting the office of a friend who works in the online pornography business last year, and he was appalled by what he saw. Mr. Jorgensen, 25, is not easily shocked, but there was something profoundly unsettling in the amateur photogr
