Sharing the Wealth, oil on canvas by Mark Henson.
It’s hard to believe that Fear Hope and Love is California artist Mark Henson’s first solo-show. The thought provoking show runs through December 23rd at the Meta Gallery in Toronto.
Deborah Harry photographed by Rankin – and ‘remixed’ by Damien Hirst.
70 portraits of musicians like Ian Brown of the Stone Roses, The Gossip, and Joe Strummer, taken by London based photographer Rankin, will be auctioned off on November 14th in London. All the proceeds will be donated to Youth Music, a charitable organization that helps provide musical instruction and experiences to children throughout the UK.
You can take a peek at 29 of Rankin’s rock stars via this photo gallery at NME.
What in the name of Led Zeppelin? Floor tickets for Bon Jovi’s O2 residency selling for $300!
Now before you go blaming some greedy Peter Grant type promoter for this shocking ticket expenditure, don’t. And that’s because the members of Bon Jovi actually approve the ticket prices before they go on sale. Floor seats for Bon Jovi’s 2010 June Residency in London at O2, will tap your spandex ass for nearly $300 while other not so hair metal seats will run you between $60-$110 bucks. Which is also too much for Bon Jovi.
Chuck Biscuits hitting it for Black Flag circa 1982.
Chuck Biscuits, a timekeeper who was a cut above most, passed away on Saturday at the age of 44 from throat cancer. In addition to Black Flag, Biscuits musical collaborations run the gamut from Danzig to Run DMC. Rest in peace Chuck, I will miss hearing your turbo charged quad-beat-three.
Thanks to Noah for the link.
*3:17 PM PST UPDATE: Sources close to Biscuits’ family are reporting that Chuck is alive and well:
Chucks family has not been notified of a death. Normally they are told if their brother or son is sick or dead. A rumor started in August about cancer, Chuck was fine then too.
I’ll keep you posted as reliable information becomes available. Thanks to Noah for the update.
7:40 PM PST UPDATE: Chuck LIVES! According to Blabbermouth.net.
Worst Halloween Costumes Ever…
Not only are these Sharpie DIY Halloween masks horrible, they are also a poor substitute for ski masks. You know, the kind a sophisticated criminal might wear if they were attempting a B&E (street for breaking and entering). Which is exactly what these two brain surgeons were doing when they were arrested last Friday night in Iowa.
Demetrius The Clown from Titus Andronicus.
I saw Green Stage’s production of Shakespeare’s tragedy Titus Andronicus and thoroughly enjoyed every blood-splattered minute of it. There are only three performances left, including one on Halloween. Best of all, the show is free! Donations are gladly accepted because fake blood isn’t cheap!
