At Any Given Moment...

... Someone is ingeniously designing a new jazz graphic with a twist.





How cute is this thing?

Enough!

If there's one "moment" from the 20th century that deserves never to be heard from again, it's "the Beats." Take a look at this awful awful press release.

It goes on to say how Gregory Corso invented hip-hop! I read the first few lines of Howl on a billboard in the TTC once, half of On The Road in high school (before I got bored), and saw William S. Burroughs in a Nike ad in the late nineties. Put it to bed! 

In other news, my new nickname is "Boomtown."
