Who Needs An Effin' Oil Painting?
Now this is my idea of a year's end list -- 50 video jewels from 2005.
The video installations are the pieces I head for whenever I hit a modern art museum, and generally the only pieces I'll pay that much attention to. What people are doing now with video only highlights why it is that the paintings that generate any attention anymore are the ones that are covered in shit . . . even with the sound turned down, Beck beats Rembrandt to bits.
Long live the moving image!

I always enjoy reading Homocon posts because I learn new stuff. For example, in this post I discovered that The Cardigans are still alive and keeping the torch lit for Swedish pop music (now that ABBA has gone Broadway and Ace of Base exhausted their 15 minutes)
Hey, is that chick on the right Fran Drescher from The Nanny! She's doing music videos? Who knew she could sing?
