KL Makes Downtempo Tapas Video.

picture-1

We strive daily at WMIG to take our Karl Lagerfeld obsession to great new heights. At times this even involves pointing a gun at an unpaid intern to make sure Karl gets googled all day and night. So when this accessory video slipped through our fingertips and onto a million other blogs before it came to our attention we felt like failures. To us, KL is the only bro who can string together jewelry, models, and headpieces into a dialogue-less music video for some downtempo tapas lounge singer and have us be like: “You’re sick, Karl! You’re sick!”

Looking at Music: Side 2.

29426

70’s NYC is soooooooo hot right now! MOMA rolls out part 2 of it’s uber popular Looking at Music series to celebrate the return of plummeting rents and dwindling subway service. The primary focus is on the good parts of economic scariness and the crack addled shitstorm that was the remaining 70% of the story is largely ignored. But the good is GOOD. Jean Michel Basquait and Patti Smith doodle together on Public Access Cable while familiar characters like The Mudd Club, Blondie and Sonic Youth brush up alongside lesser known pieces like Bob Gruen’s film “New York Death Cult”. Overall it’s a very impressively detailed exhibition and the whole thing kicks off on June 10th. Paper bags, flasks, and a proper mugging should all be included in the price of admission.
