i was in london last week and was made aware of a sculpture, by thomas heatherwick, that graces the foyer of the wellcome trust headquarters on euston st. i couldnt find a website with pictures but the sculpture is derived from a form originally achieved by pouring molten metal into a block of ice. the figure was then digitally scanned, blown up, and represented through glass beads suspended by cables...and all of this in a 6-story space

just listening to pj harvey as i write this..."rid of me" is so fucking intense it should have had suge knight begging to sign pj as a backup singer for tupac. if she would´ve commited suicide she might have gotten the respect and credit she deserves as being as good a rock songwriter as kurt cobain, albeit with less self pity...no disrespect to nirvana but pj had at least as much angst and talent and she was and is a "she"...is there a precedent for that? should the first female rock artist with the balls of kurt cobain be relegated to second tier status?? listen to "rub ´til it bleeds" (start at 3:25 for full impact) on "rid of me" and tell me that that song isn´t at least, if not more, ballsy than any song ever written by nirvana...led zeppelin would´ve shit their pants hearing a girl fuck rock n roll this extreme
