Booze in Bulk

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: May 31, 2011

Granted, we are way past the fete-filled Christmas/New Year holiday season, but there are still plenty of party opportunities coming up.  Whether you plan on celebrating Flag Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day, or a random summer night, you won’t want to spend your evening mixing drinks for everyone. Instead, check out Serious Eats for tips [...]

Frontier Photography – Phillip Toledano

Posted by: Keith Meatto on: May 27, 2011

Being an artist is a great deal like being a dictator. Just like a dictator, I must live in a closed loop of self-delusion. A place where my words and ideas always ring true. A gilded daydream of grandiosity. There can be no room for doubt. I must be convinced that I have something vital to say. I must [...]

Put It Into Words: A Review of Battles’ Gloss Drop

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: May 27, 2011

from Peter Lillis <(redacted)@gmail.com> to Leo Lopez <(redacted)@gmail.com> date Tue, May 24, 2011 at 11:12 AM subject Gloss Drop Leo, Thanks again for the copy of the new Battles record, Gloss Drop; I’ve been unable to listen to much else.

Chic Fatigue – Color My Black

Posted by: Keith Meatto on: May 26, 2011

For the 7th grade science fair, I wrote a paper on how color influences mood. More of a book report than a science project, I read a couple of articles on the observed effects of colors on human behavior, (e.g. babies cry more in yellow rooms; prisoners are less irritable in blue cells). For the [...]

Free Yourself From Tyranny!

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: May 25, 2011

Although we at FP try to stay on top of the absolute latest happenings in music and culture, we have to admit that Jack Spearing at One Thirty BPM makes a good case for re-discovering classical music, “the snobby, expensive music that you would get around to listening to if you weren’t so busy tracking [...]

Foster the People – A Review of Torches

Posted by: Keith Meatto on: May 23, 2011

“Pumped Up Kicks,” the lead single on Foster the People’s debut album, has organically become an alt-pop radio hit with its breezy L.A. sound and Peter Bjorn And John’s “Young Folks”-inspired whistling.  I was so engrossed with the cheery melody of its chorus that it took me a few listens to discover that the lyrics [...]

Red Hook, I love it. The place has a faded sense of history, the polyglottal shouts of long-dead stevedores hanging in the air.  It retains an atmosphere of waterfront decay à la Season 2 of The Wire that has been excised from other neighborhoods better served by public transport, even as much of Red Hook’s actual [...]

Frontier Photography – Carrie Levy

Posted by: Keith Meatto on: May 20, 2011

In You Before All, I continue to use my camera to harshly manipulate my subjects.  I introduce two paradoxical states: pain and ecstasy.  I contort my subjects to look like victims; however, whether they are victims of pain or pleasure is open to debate.
