Hallmark Moment of the Day: 12-year-old Internet sensation Greyson Chance recently met up with his idol Lady Gaga at the Oklahoma City leg of her ongoing Monster Ball tour.

“I met @LadyGaga!,” Greyson tweeted. “She was so kind, gave me some great advice and put on an amazing show!!”

Aw.

Rock Fans Outraged As Bob Dylan Goes Electronica

“We came here to see the authentic Dylan, the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band behind him,” audience member Robert Hochschild said. “Then he walks out with these puffy headphones, some turntables, and a laptop? The guy’s a Judas.” When asked later about his musical transformation by reporters, Dylan said he had nothing to say about the beats he programs, he just programs them.

FAULKNER AT UVA (THE ARCHIVES/THE RIDE)

FAULKNER AT UVA (THE ARCHIVES/THE RIDE):

“Faulkner spent two years as the writer-in-residence at UVA, where he gave lectures and readings and took questions from students. The lectures were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes, which have now been digitized and published online.”

IT’S

INCREDIBLE

Eagle and I have been listening to so much spoken word lately and basking in every minute of it. From the Selected Poems of T.S. Eliot, which I recently picked up on vinyl, to Readings By Jack Kerouac on the Beat Generation. There’s some transcendant about hearing their voices, words, nuances, accents and everything. Every. Single. Little. Thing.

Faulkner at UVA is one such thrilling thing.

MONA

BOSS

“Imagine a museum that assaults every sense as you walk through its rooms. A museum where the rotting flesh from one work of art is fed to the mechanical digestive system of another so it can be processed and turned into excrement; where the mutilated bodies of suicide bombers are sculpted in chocolate and the Bible and Torah are displayed with bombs inside them…

This is the vision of David Walsh, mathematician, professional gambler, vineyard and brewery owner, who describes his Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) currently nearing completion outside the Tasmanian capital Hobart, as both an “unmuseum” and a ‘subversive Disneyland’.”

2 Notable Quotes from:

All Joy and No Fun

Why parents hate parenting.

in NY Mag

“Before urbanization, children were viewed as economic assets to their parents. If you had a farm, they toiled alongside you to maintain its upkeep; if you had a family business, the kids helped mind the store. But all of this dramatically changed with the moral and technological revolutions of modernity. As we gained in prosperity, childhood came increasingly to be viewed as a protected, privileged time, and once college degrees became essential to getting ahead, children became not only a great expense but subjects to be sculpted, stimulated, instructed, groomed. (The Princeton sociologist Viviana Zelizer describes this transformation of a child’s value in five ruthless words: ‘Economically worthless but emotionally priceless.’) Kids, in short, went from being our staffs to being our bosses.”

“…But for many of us, purpose is happiness—particularly those of us who find moment-to-moment happiness a bit elusive to begin with. Martin Seligman, the positive-psychology pioneer who is, famously, not a natural optimist, has always taken the view that happiness is best defined in the ancient Greek sense: leading a productive, purposeful life. And the way we take stock of that life, in the end, isn’t by how much fun we had, but what we did with it.”

FUCKIN’

COOL

The Brilliant and the Dark was a 1969 composition for a woman’s choir that explored women’s history from the Middle Ages to WWII, narrated through the eyes of “witch-hunters, embroiderers, crusaders’ wives, plague-stricken women, mourners and war workers.” This year, open-music archivists/artists Eileen Simpson and Ben White acquired permission to use the piece for a live “remix,” performed by the 22-woman Gaggle choir and filmed at The Women’s Library exhibition hall.
