“Updated, 12:19 p.m. | Police officers wearing helmets and other riot gear entered a New School building at 65 Fifth Avenue, carrying bunches of white plastic handcuffs attached to their belts, evidently to arrest a group of students who had occupied the building earlier on Friday.
As senior police officials, firefighters and emergency medical technicians looked on, the police officers surged into the building. Moments later, several were seen leaning over the parapet; the banners that the three dozen or so students occupying the building had hung were removed.
The students had occupied the building shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday with the intention of staging a takeover similar to the one carried out at the university in December, according to a graduate student who is involved in the demonstration.” (via NYT)

I’ve been obsessed with 20’s – 30’s old jazz lately. Check out Mildred Bailey , Annette Hanshaw, and Ethel Waters .
There is something definitely relaxing about all their voices.
Enjoy!
Kim Jong-il had not appeared in public since last year
“Having comrade Kim Jong-il at the highest post of our country again is a great honour and happiness,” a newscaster said on state-run television.
Mr Kim, 67, has ruled the impoverished nation of 24 million with absolute authority since his father’s death in 1994. (via BBC)
If you haven’t seen it just yet, see it! It is so inspiring. From the process to the execution, and the story that sets it’s foundation, all of it is very entertaining, humorous, heart warming, and educational all at the same time. Cheers goes out to Nina Paley for putting this all together.
She is supposedly a teacher at Parsons! Also read the story about how licensing issues could have prevented all this from being seen.
Enjoy!
Elif & I were on our way to school on a Sunday to do some work, and I enjoyed this man’s jam. He totally mellowed out my mood for the rest of the day. Thanks Joe Crow Ryan!
TRAIN SOLO!

This is going to be amazinnng! Alex Grey and Flying Lotus aren’t doing a show together, although that would be an awesome experience to witness, but Alex Grey’s art is part of a show called Sonic Vision, “a groundbreaking digitally animated alternative music show. SonicVision takes audiences in the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater on a mind-warping musical roller-coaster ride through fantastical dreamspace.”
*SonicVision is presented every Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., in the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum’s Rose Center for Earth and Space.
Don’t miss out!
Enjoy!
