  • Sketches of the Inchoate by Charles Davi
    Sketches of the Inchoate By Charles Davi 2 The outlines of a day It's Syttende Mai, we're in the living room of our apartment, there's a TV mounted on a white wall. You take your earrings off, which are large, and silver, and quite reflective, your hair is blonde. Our bedroom is sunny, as is the entire apartment. I watch your fingers, as you take your earrings off - Your ear is almost glowing a bit in the light, and so I can see the faint outlines of the blood vessels branching under your skin, causing your earlobes to look like small opaque gumdrops, in context. It's all a bit disorienting, leaving me relieved, we're finally home - You seem so comfortable, undressing, slowly and casually, with something in between indifference and affection, occasionally, making eye-contact, smiling. Though I'm borderline offended by your pantyhose, which take me by sur- prise, given what you're wearing is, otherwise, tantamount to a costume: The translucent, brown top is high-waisted, looks a bit cheap, like a beer bottle. I can nonetheless see the outlines of your underwear in the bright light of the room, which compensates. Our apartment is not that big, though certainly not small - My snobbishness creeps into almost everything, including our home, though you are the rare exception, leaving even my exhausting pretensions exhausted, unable to find an unflattering aspect of your appearance, or behavior. The bedroom has what look like floor to ceiling windows, and the room is filled with typical Scandinavian summer sunlight: Ultra-bright and white.

  • DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW If Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey
    For Immediate Release: June 24, 2013 YEAH YEAH YEAHS “DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW if Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey ( Credit: Patrick Daughters) New York, NY…June 24…The Yeah Yeah Yeahs reach new heights today with the video for their new single “Despair.” Skyscraper heights. 102-story, 443-meter, Empire State Building heights, to be exact. "There's been a lot of career highs and lows over the years of being in a band, but in the end, how many can say they shot a video on the top of the Empire State Building? We win,” says singer Karen O. “Move out the way, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna get real with you up in this piece!” “Despair” is the second single off the NYC-based trio’s album Mosquito (Interscope), which entered the Billboard Top 200 this April at #5. The concept for the video came courtesy of Noisey.com, who decided they wanted to co-produce a video for the band’s single by pairing New York’s quintessential landmark with New York’s quintessential band. However, until now, no band had ever shot a video atop the World’s Most Famous Building. ”The Empire State Building’s iconographic presence is not limited to any date or age. We are happy to offer our magical canvas, the real magic of the real New York City, to this video,” says Anthony E. Malkin of Malkin Holdings. “Big bands deserve big ideas. So, when Noisey was given the challenge to come up with a big idea for a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video, we jokingly said… ‘let's get them to play on top of the Empire State Building!!’ Then we said, ‘actually…wait, why not!?’ We called the Empire State Building and not only were they into it, they were a pleasure to work with.
