We know it’s been ages since our last post. Bet you all thought we died! Well guess what? We didn’t. We’re all still here, just been jamming around filling our hearts and minds with cool new stuff.

Our favorite thing right now is the new AsDSSka 7″ that is released by Family Records (of family books fame). As the name suggests, the group consists of Aska Matsumiya and David Scott Stone from The Sads. Not tryin’ to promote our own shit, but seriously this is a beautiful record.

Also, check out this cool video for the A-Side directed by Spike Jonze and Crystal Moselle…

Here it is.
Jeff Jonson and Alexis Ross have completed their latest unnecessary
effort called Cafe Legs. A new boutique of sorts, it sits just about
eight feet east of Choke Motorcycle Shop on Normal Ave. and Virgil.
They will be opening one day each month in order to sell one item at
a time. Yep, limited to the max. Sorry for those of you who missed out
on the $2 joints last month. I've been told that they were quite tasty.
What about the dead stock Japanese moped locks with an advanced tumbling
system which is impervious to the old ball point pen trick.

Well enough of that flim-flam. This Saturday (March 7th) they are open
from 12-7 and will actually be selling a quality product.
CHOKE has produced 100 pairs of salvage denim jeans, sizes 28-36.
Think about if APC did a collaboration with JC Penny and you're about
half way there. They will also have espresso up and running again.
That's right, the old Choke espresso. However, don't come looking for
fancy foam maple leaves or hearts. Strictly Italian style.
No milk after noon. Cold beer for drinking buddies.

If you're in that neck of the woods,
drop in for a cigarette and the usual mild humor.

ANPQVol2/#2 featured artist Mark Flood’s EXCELLENT show at Peres Projects new space in LA is still up through saturday…

Mark FLOOD
Entertainment Weakly
November 22 – February 7, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 22, 6 – 9 pm
Press Release

Javier Peres is pleased to announce “Entertainment Weakly,” a solo exhibition by Houston-based artist Mark Flood. Inaugurating Peres Projects gallery in the Culver City section of Los Angeles, the exhibition will include mixed media drawings, paintings, sculpture and installation from the past and present.

Flood is a Merry Deformer, romping through the art world’s carefully arrayed aisles with a stencil and a can of spray paint, rearranging its face. Matters of identification are fertile ground upon which to sew mischief, and yet Flood never abandons the potential of a beautiful phenomenon in favor of just being stabby. The surface of a text panel or lace painting still holds all the subtle irregularities and shiny moments prone to seduction.

The works exhibited here cover three decades of Flood’s output, from the defaced advertisement drawings of the early 1980s to brand new assemblages fashioned from the local Texas debris of Hurricane Ike. Bathed in a acid-lime light, the group together presents, in Flood’s words, “topics for non-discussion: our relationship with pictures of celebrities, the effects of vibrant community on layers of dust, market correction fluid, accidental suicides, casual sex with photographs, healthy stalking, shared recipies for aesthetic disasters.”

Mark Flood (b. Houston, TX) lives and works in Houston, Texas and will be present for the opening.

“Entertainment Weakly” will be on view at Peres Projects (2766 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90034) through February 7, 2009. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M and by appointment. For further information or reproductions please contact Sarah Walzer at tel. + 1 213 617 1100 or sarah@peresprojects.com.

And if you live in Berlin or NY, Mark Flood will have solo shows at Peres’ Berlin space in March and at Zach Feuer Gallery in NY in May

I’m sorry, this is just too good
