Little Art.

A collection of postcards I picked up whilst visiting New York.

Most of these I had glimpses of at MoMa, the Natural History Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including works by Monet (who I saw an exhibition of in a Vermont museum, sun damaged and all), van Gogh, William Blake (that one's cheating actually, a friend sent it to me from London), Salvador Dali, Kandinsky, Leonardo da Vinci, Gustav Klimt and Jackson Pollock. There is also one from the Natural History Museum (suspending blue whale) , of the Guggenheim and of the Algonquin hotel, where I stayed on West 44th Street.

Fishing with John.

Fishing with John was a 1991 television series written and starring John Lurie (Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law). It's a kind of mockumentary fishing show where John Lurie, an untrained fisherman, takes various friends (Jim Jarmusch, Matt Dillon, Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper) out on fishing excursions, while they chat and bicker,  the narrator voices over bizarre, dramatised and irrelevant information regarding the nature of the fishing trip. It's one of the most brilliant things on television (computer screen?) I've seen in a while and it made me fall in love with John all over again (he's so cute and giggly!) It probably doesn't help that the amazingness of Jim is involved (lately have been attempting to re-watch all of his back catalog). He even sings the theme song, fiiiishing with johnnnnn.
