Wilco, Nick Lowe + Mavis Staples Rehearse The Weight

This video deserves to be seen by more than just 301 people.

If you like it, please consider it a thank-you present from your GQ tumblrers. We passed a milestone in followers here earlier this evening–we’ll keep the number to ourselves in the tumblr spirit of earth and people, but it did make those of us here feel feelings. So thanks, and seriously, watch the video. It’s an unexpectedly fantastic way to start a weekend.

Nick Cave, Soundsuit, 2012, dogwood twigs, wire, upholstery, and mannequin

[culturebloat]

nick cave’s fall show spans jack shainman gallery’s two spaces; and neither include a soundsuit, of which cave is most famous for. the pieces in the show are made of found objects, especially pieces that carry deep racial undertones. cave turns these pieces into shrines of a particular sort. draped in beads and ceramic birds and lamps, weight-bearing figurines appear to be converted into heavy, deeply saddening objects that memorialize a bygone era in a manner that is somehow, unsettlingly celebratory.
