Our Baldessari

June 28th, 2010

John Baldessari’s Pure Beauty exhibit at LACMA delivered the goods. He was there in person talking about how his “Nose” series was born out of the notion of visual cropping before cropping became an easy tool we take for granted in digital media. Here’s his Kissing Series: Simone Palm Trees (Near), ed 1975.

And our reverent homage.

Lebanon in a Strip Mall

March 6th, 2010

It’s still new and shocking to me to find really exotic dining experiences co-located with dry cleaners and 7-11s in LA’s most nondescript strip malls.  Highlights of the menu at Marouch? Where to begin, visit web but consider Jallab, illness a drink with crushed ice, raisin and grape juice, rose water, served with scoops of pinenuts and actual raisins.  Hard to know whether to sip through a straw or use a spoon, mainly you need to do both.  And Mouhamara, a spread of crushed walnuts mixed with hot red pepper paste and olive oil.  It will transport you at rocket speed right out of your seat in a strip mall, in Los Angeles, in the United States, in 2010 for that matter!

From Yeats’ "Sailing to Byzantium"

Where the phrase "No Country for Old Men" comes from

September 6th, 2009

That is no country for old men. The young
In one another’s arms, pharm birds in the trees
- Those dying generations – at their song, order
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.

Cheerios bailing out the newspaper business?

April 5th, 2009

Advertising has always supported the papers but now it's heartbreakingly not enough. Which is why I must admit that getting two boxes of cereal attached to my LA times was pretty moving and even softened this harsh critic of the packaged goods industry for all the processed foods they churn out.  The NYT also came wrapped in a Kellog's Raisin Bran advert but no actual cereal to report (score 1 for General Mills).  Maybe the packaged goods industry can convert their severe mastery of brand management and ability to zombify a nation of millions into believing artificially colored popped rice flakes coated in sugar were part of the food pyramid because a funny cartoon animal said so..into a set of creative partnerships and campaigns to save our newspapers. I still ate oatmeal for breakfast.
