Oh My Goodness!: The Importance of Seeming
http://nomodel.blogspot.com/2009/01/importance-of-seeming.html
Saturday, January 17, 2009. The Importance of Seeming. Just paused 4 paragraphs into reading Matt Bai's article. In the Times magazine this weekend because something struck me. All I'm saying, it upsets history (and our own determination) to declare that we will be different tomorrow. Or more specifically, that we know HOW we will be different. Change is on the horizon. But you never know what birds will get caught in your engines. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Oh My Goodness!: Economics
http://nomodel.blogspot.com/2008/09/economics.html
Sunday, September 21, 2008. The economy, and economics in general: not my strong suit. My comprehension of the Wall Street catastrophe lies somewhere between shock/dismay and "uh, what now? But one would have to be blind to not see that there is something desperately out of place in our economy. And I at least have to touch on this crisis here because it fits so well with one of the mantras of our li'l blog: No Model. When called out for how ridiculous a statement like this is, he got angry! Headline rea...

Monday, April 28, 2008. Some notes on racism. Reading the "new" Kurt Vonnegut book, Armageddon In Retrospect. A collection of unpublished essays and speeches and letters, and came across this gem from his last written speech, scheduled for a year ago yesterday, April 27, 2007 (not delivered because he fell and hit his head and died):. While we're on the topic, I feel I should point to this article. So what can we say about a nation that values lies more than it loves truth? What we can say is that such a...

Friday, December 14, 2007. On criticism pt. 2, "Adorno's World". The second major implication (call it wishful thinking, if you will) is a revolution in the way art and culture is produced and devoured. It is a revolution the likes of which Theodor Adorno. Thanks to the lovely, the talented x kr8chi. Thursday, December 13, 2007. On criticism pt. 1. Last week's Time Out New York ran a piece about criticism. Friday, December 7, 2007. When listening to Boxer. Brian Wilson once said that he crafted the bassl...

Friday, March 21, 2008. This is a seemingly simple statement. But within it is the challenge. That Obama is consistently putting in front of us. For someone in quest of the highest office in this country, and lacking the support of a particular and important contingency of voters (white males), to make this statement, not to mention the entire speech. Of The Root, had this to say:. Also of the The Root and avidly a non-supporter of Obama (he's for Nader), said this:. Instead of merely assuaging white rac...

Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Barack Obama has done more in his first day in office. Tomorrow he orders Guantanamo Bay closed within a year. That's great and all, but it may be he's rushing to get this in as a diversionary tactic to peacemongers who will be upset to find he's not gonna get the room to move on Iraq like they wanted/voted for him to do. I don't know what to make of that. It seems very convoluded for such a simple measure. Is he safeguarding Bush? Also, who isn't dying to know what Bush wrot...

Monday, December 29, 2008. Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes is not only a genius songwriter and totally hot, but also a savvy businessman. Kevin Barnes from of Montreal, who happen to have recorded one of our favorite albums. And played two of our favorite. This year, wrote this piece. Monday, December 22, 2008. Is the guy Barack Obama tapped to be White House science advisor. And this. Is an article he wrote for Scientific American. This is good news. Next best thing to "The Gore-acle"?

Oh My Goodness!: Why Do People Call Themselves Artists?
http://nomodel.blogspot.com/2008/09/why-do-people-call-themselves-artists.html
Friday, September 12, 2008. Why Do People Call Themselves Artists? At a bar in Williamsburg, disturbed at a conversation happening next to me. So. I thought I'd take this moment to pose a question: Why would one person call themselves an artist? It's something that's made me sqeamish for a long time. I dunno. Well, what's an artist? And is it so bad to be one? Is it okay for someone to call him/herself that, or does one have to wait for others to bestow it upon him/her? September 12, 2008 at 11:41 PM.
