It should be the thing that carries you through the highs and lows. A kind of constant gardening.”<br/><br/> - <em><strong>Theaster Gates</strong>, in <a href="http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/June-2013/Theaster-Gates-The-Rise-of-an-Unconventional-Art-Star/index.php?cparticle=1&siarticle=0#artanc" target="_blank">a wonderful feature with my friends at <em>Chicago</em> magazine</a> about his life and work. I met Theaster briefly last year and he is as charismatic as he appears on paper. His latest major solo exhibition opens at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago next weekend. The article is long, but still a “must read.” (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://britticisms.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">britticisms</a>)</em>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/50220286523http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/50220286523Sat, 11 May 2013 23:16:07 -0400artTheaster Gates<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/988f2fb689525d8007422b79fe39f833/tumblr_mmcpi8zBsN1qgjplzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://reckon.tumblr.com/post/49980019455/fuckyeahvintage-retro-queens-ny-1969" target="_blank">reckon</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>fuckyeahvintage-retro:</p> <p>Queens, NY (1969)</p> </blockquote>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49980418079http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49980418079Wed, 08 May 2013 21:55:15 -0400QueensNYC<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fbb0e7c52b91196ebc455a32dc29b321/tumblr_mmdpr5L7Gb1qznhb6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taka-kin #catsofinstagram</p>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49772955194http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49772955194Mon, 06 May 2013 09:35:29 -0400catsofinstagram<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_49543567508" src="http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49543567508/audio_player_iframe/yaddyrap/tumblr_mm8u1jOujp1qzpwts?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fyaddyrap%2F49543567508%2Ftumblr_mm8u1jOujp1qzpwts" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="85"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://grimmertown.tumblr.com/post/49541892829/sonic-youth-i-love-her-all-the-time-from-bad" target="_blank">grimmertown</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Sonic Youth “I Love Her All The Time”</strong> (from <em>Bad Moon Rising</em> 1985)</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3X4T-qzKFvE/TbSW8ATIBDI/AAAAAAAACs4/SwzKxB4YFvc/s1600/Sonic_Youth_Bad_Moon_Rising.jpg"/></p> <p>Sonic Youth is my summer band and this song is the one that always gets played the most on the hotter days.</p> </blockquote>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49543567508http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49543567508Fri, 03 May 2013 18:42:46 -0400Sonic Youth<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_49094274469" src="http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49094274469/audio_player_iframe/yaddyrap/tumblr_mlxrppQ1o41r213fy?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fyaddyrap%2F49094274469%2Ftumblr_mlxrppQ1o41r213fy" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://tkol2.tumblr.com/post/49042957910/atoms-for-peace-magic-beanz" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">tkol2</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Atoms For Peace “Magic Beanz”</p> <p><a href="http://thekingoflimbspart2.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://thekingoflimbspart2.com" target="_blank">http://thekingoflimbspart2.com</a></a></p></blockquote>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49094274469http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49094274469Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:06:49 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/138e7fac99e5902b5feff0723c44f85b/tumblr_mlyzbpRL7j1qznhb6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cover-to-cover #lastnight #jaialaimag</p>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49092389793http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/49092389793Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:38:13 -0400lastnightjaialaimag<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9b532d98a5becc9f1bc01a1669fe57da/tumblr_mlv12dxThH1qznhb6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Week kicked my ass #teaching #stupidteabag</p>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/48922927750http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/48922927750Fri, 26 Apr 2013 07:25:25 -0400teachingstupidteabag<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5f8c32d6a59dded079224d292ee446f9/tumblr_mlmk9wp3IO1qznhb6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Always better than expected #LaurieAnderson</p>http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/48558646806http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/48558646806Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:41:56 -0400laurieanderson<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_48541697511" src="http://yaddyrap.tumblr.com/post/48541697511/audio_player_iframe/yaddyrap/tumblr_mllffxmGCn1qzumup?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fyaddyrap%2F48541697511%2Ftumblr_mllffxmGCn1qzumup" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://neoncrayon.tumblr.com/post/48506922102/james-blake-life-round-here-stunning" target="_blank">neoncrayon</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>James Blake -
