My Spurs are not doing so well in this period of the season. Post-season is dubious. I still believe they can make it. This season looks a lot like 2007; but without Bowen and a younger squad. Richard Jefferson is not fitting in; so we’re down a player on the roster.
Turning to videos like this to get me through this desert of mediocrity the Spurs are traversing.

In hipster history, the 1990s saw a resurgence in kitschy countercultural pastimes like swing dancing, tattoo culture, and tiki/retro lounge. At the same time, an underground art movement associated with those outre interests and born in Southern California was also catapulted into view. Fueled by the Internet, a worldwide audience emerged for art that could have otherwise stayed firmly ensconced in the murky shadows of the art world and underground culture. This new art scene was tongue-in-cheekily referred to as “Lowbrow,” and it championed a sense of working class ethics and the festishization of nostalgia and countercultural imagery in a cartoony, fun manner.
Anthony Ausgang is celebrated as a pioneer of Lowbrow. His tripped-out, surrealistic narratives feature cartoon characters in exaggeratedly provocative situations. Today on Boing Boing, Ausgang debuts his newest painting, an album cover for psych-rock duo MGMT’s new record Congratulations, to be released on April 13 on Columbia. Ausgang’s next solo show is in November at Santa Monica’s CoproGallery.
awww the good old days.

Major Lazer have been busy this month. First they covered Beyoncé, then a track mistaken for a Busy Signal song ended up actually being an M.I.A.-featuring preview of an upcoming EP. Well, late last week, South African producer Subskrpt put out a “Cashflow” remix that crushed them both. If you only hear one of the above, check this. (via Forkcast)
// This is great.
This is by far my favorite Major Lazer remix. It even Beats out the Classixx one.
