Sputtering Back in Time












Woke up this morning to find my block lined with Ford Model Ts. They are filming Boardwalk Empire the new HBO series with Steve Buscemi, but unfortunately I didn't get to see him. Crazy how much these cars leak oil, it was flowing down the block and they were sputtering and bumping around, the brakes didn't seem to work all that well either, but still pretty good for 90 years old.

Sleigh Bells drops debut album TREATS












Sleigh Bells played last night in Bushwick Brooklyn and the show was so insanely good even if MIA didn't show up like we thought they would. The band from Brooklyn is Alexis Krauss (vocals) and Derek Miller (guitars/production). Their album TREATS is out today on itunes. Look out for Ring Ring my favorite song!

Big BambĂș @ the Met






Took a tour of Big Bambu yesterday on the roof of the met. This work by Doug+Mike Starn is so completely organic--a rooftop bamboo jungle gym made only out of bamboo and held together by special rock-climbing string. Walking up in the sky on these narrow wave-like pathways felt so free and ethereal and so ancient-day yet forward thinking. This installation is really really fun and the experience is a must. I plan to revisit it a couple more times this summer as it expands further across the roof of the met and up to 40ft into the air.

Afterward hit up the cafeteria for the AMAZING salad bar and some beers.
