"I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don’t notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is."
— David Byrne

The DeLorean is coming back … to the future! DeLorean is teaming with startup Epic Electric Vehicles to produce an all-electric version of the “Back to the Future” car, the DMC-12.
Called the DMCEV, it was announced last week at the International DeLorean Owners Event in Houston. Scheduled for launch in 2013, the car is not a rebuilt DeLorean with an electric engine slapped into it. Rather, it’s an electric vehicle designed from the ground up that will happen to resemble the DMC-12. Sadly, the new models won’t run on Mr. Fusion.

"As soon as we got a record deal, we incorporated. We became “Devo Incorporated.” We tried to blur the line between pop art and commercial art on purpose."

"It took me until my 40s to realize it: There’s no destination. There’s no getting anywhere. There’s just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun. Because people that are like, “If I just get to this, then boom!” And then they get there and there’s this dawning of an afterwards. Whereas I’m just always in the going. And it’s not a frantic going like, “I gotta keep going or I’m gonna go nuts!” I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I’m just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it’s all in the going."

"Like, there was one time we were on the American Music Awards, and when we got there they told us that we had to play to a recording. I thought, “This is going to be really good because now I can just have the band do other things.”
So the band stopped pretending to play within the first 30 seconds— some people were doing calisthenics while others had gone in the audience and were just hanging out. My drummer was wearing a ski mask and playing with his hands. It might have been a little bit obnoxious or bratty, but it was so liberating— just having Garth Brooks and Whitney Houston in the front row, not sure what was happening. It was one of those moments when the machine shudders for a second. "

"Because culture shouldn’t be a pacifying thing. It shouldn’t be something that you just passively accept. I think it should be something that, in some ways, is quite disruptive— makes you think and question things, and actually sparks debate. And a lot of the time now, people use culture and music and films and stuff in the same ways you use them on kids. If kids are driving you mad and chucking stuff around the house, you put a Disney CD or DVD on, and then they shut up and watch it, and you get some peace. I’ve done it. I feel guilty about it sometimes, but I do it. And I think that kind of thing, in some ways, has moved into adult culture as well."

Life-Altering Slurpee Cup of the Day: This summer 7-Eleven will be introducing a long-overdue dual-chambered Slurpee cup to allow the consumption of two Slurpee flavors simultaneously.
The double-decker drink will come complete with a special split-straw that mixes and matches your Slurpee combo as you, well, slurp.

“That’s the most Warholian thing about what I do… I embrace pop culture. The very thing that everybody says is poisonous and ostentatious and shallow, it’s like my chemistry book… and I make what I believe to be art out of it.” - Lady Gaga

Everyone try this. so so so awesome. Hit me up if you want to join the same room and listen to the same songs together.
tedroden:
Listening Room is really cool.
Listening Room is a website for listening to music with your friends. Anyone in a room can play mp3s from their computer, and everyone hears the same thing at the same time.
Also:
If you look closely, you can also see that the record has a groove in it which shows how long the track is… There’s a record player, with an arm that tracks the current position in the song. Songs that have cover art are rendered as picture disks. The record is actually spinning while it’s playing.
