Wildfire Wildfire

Wildfire Wildfire, whom you may remember from ANPQ#9, have a new site.
Everyone has a new site (we will, too, next week, I think) but how many "new sites" are "one of the best sites you have ever seen"? Wildfires Wildfire's is, for sure—or, at least the flyers are! But the flyers are right there, so I feel like they are the site... Yes, the flyers are the best site ever! Inversion black hole into triumph!
Go big!

David Horvitz is spending the summer deep in the country, hidden away, heavy in studies, and I haven't spoken with him in what feels like an eternity. To be totally honest, I really miss him. In August he is in a three person show with Andy Warhol and Grant Worth which Joseph Whitt curated at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery in Nashville, Tennessee—much much much more on the amazing Joseph Whitt in this place soon—the opening for which I will be performing at and which will hopefully serve as our end-of-the-summer reunion... unless he has to miss it because he is on tour with Xiu Xiu again (hey Xiu Xiu team, I miss you all, too) and doing this project that I'm linking to below and can't make it... oh!!! In advance of that hopeful reunion I am posting a link to David's newest project surrounding the tour... I know, a lot of circle talk, but the point is really just to set up this link (And the videos at the end are very worth it, fyi):

Candidly Covered

Last year I was doing a blog where I took a self-portrait everyday. I did it for quite a long time, then realized how hard it was (and lost my camera) and the blog died. Well fear not, our pal Jenna, (artist, impersario and member of Los Angeles supergroup Mika Miko) has taken the torch...and let me confess that in her first few weeks of posting she's pretty much killed everything I ever did in the "outfit blog" medium. Check it out HERE!

This is just a great interview.

Pitchfork doesn't need any links, and Ed Banger doesn't need any more fans, but
THIS really is just a great interview and I wanted to share it right away.

general

We really really appreciate anyone looking at this blog, and very very much appreciate any comments!
...That said, if you are going to comment, please sign your name, or even make a name up, especially if you are going to fully criticize or hate-out. We really readily invite and welcome any commentary, positive or otherwise, but it just makes you seem so shook to comment negatively AND anonymously... At least until we can figure out how to change the blogger coding so that instead of of the default saying "ANONYMOUS" it says "SCARED BROKEN TEENAGER—NOT THE INTERESTING/INSPIRING/COMPELLING KIND, BUT THE SHITTY KIND"

the real ANPQ shirt post

So, our publisher and kind parent company, RVCA, helped us make some shirts with some of our friends as sort of a very nice bakesale for the magazine. 4 artist shirts (Raymond Pettibon, Dash Snow, Chris Johanson/Jo Jackson, Ed Templton) and a logo t, they are all amazingly printed in a super detail/anti-"sweatpatch" way using what seems to be some kind of new printing method—check especially the detail on the Dash Snow and Chris Johanson/Jo Jackson shirts— on organic cotton cut and sew RVCA t shirts. Limited to 500 shirts each, they're only available at a few places worldwide (Colette in Paris/Beams in Tokyo/Someday, Australia) and in the RVCA webstore
... and will be gone... fast...

Contemporary Readymade Situation #1

Today we're going to begin a new series on the ANPQuarterly blog called Contemporary Readymade Situation. For this, the first installment, we are going to provide you with two angles. If you are ever at a loss, you can copy this:

I am not co-signing this, but I'm not NOT co-signing this. I'm putting it up because I saw it and was kind of like "oh, I guess this is the future... maybe?" Retrofuture? ...remember the first time you saw DJ Q-Bert doing crazy routines? ...Or maybe you didn't see Q-Bert —he was kind of the most major turntablism guy, the Jordan of tunrtablism, I think. For sure very charming and undeniably virtuosic. undeniably a true artist... but the wide open window on turtablism may in fact have closed by the time the documentary Scratch opened in 2002 (or 2003?)... anyways... or remember the first time you saw Ryan Sheckler crying on MTV? I'm just thinking that this could be one of those "I know that, but I didn't know to think that that version of that could exist" moments for us all. Drop the beat!

Somehow I totally missed this guy's whole thing until now.


LYRICS:

Internet Dream

"Man this internet's something else"

[Verse]

Cuttin' it close
Let the dishes turn green
Everyone chasin' their
Internet dream

Some like it hot
In a triple X funk
Winnin' the auction
Turnin' money to junk

Cappin' the flag
In a virtual dash
Skippin' your wedding
To play in a match

[Chorus]

Shut all the blinds
You mighta been seen
Sittin' alone
With your internet dream

Winning the race
For your digital fix
Living your life
With a clickity-click
(Repeat)

"So every day I swear
I'm gonna go to bed at like eleven.
And all of a sudden its 4AM . . .
And I was just watching Youtube and
reading Wikipedia for five hours.
It's like MAN . . . you ask me the
next day. I can't even remember
what I was doin. Crazy."

[Verse ]

[Chorus]

"I was talkin to my mom the other day
And she's like 'Oh,
My computer's been acting up again!'
So I'm thinkin she got a virus
or something . . .
And I'm like 'ok what's wrong?'
And she's like 'You know that bar that
you type the website in! It disappeared!
I can never remember how to get it back!'
I'm like 'ok Mom. We did this last week.'
I love my Mom and Dad. "

[Chorus X 2]




and then something happened with him and Dr.Pepper?

Was anyone having David Horvitz withdrawl?
New levels David- ness HERE .
Thank you David.

this is pretty much it

So, I can't figure out how to embed it, but THIS VIDEO is documentation of a show that Car Clutch (my band with Ethan Swan) played on our tour a few weeks ago. I mention this because it is the same tour for which I posted all the tour posters a few weeks back and because it was pretty much a dream bill... and and and also this video was made by Joey, who made the dog video below and who's videos I am obsessed with. You can find this video and a really telling first-trip-since-moving-away-from-home documentation/autobiographical video on his BLOG .
Thank you Joey.
And thank you Ethan for finding his blog!
