The inaugural exhibition in the newly re-located Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. Herb Lubalin (1918–1981) is best known for his wildly illustrative typography and his groundbreaking work for the magazines Avant Garde, Eros, and Fact.

The installation includes recent posters, publications, and motion graphics by internationally recognized graphic designers that spotlight an emerging trend toward expressive lettering and typography. Original sketches, magazines, logotypes, and posters selected from the Lubalin Center Archive will illuminate Lubalin’s influence on contemporary graphic design.

new music obsession: phantogram

radshaw’s playing another show. you’ll know where to find me this friday:

Hey guys!

This Friday my band will be playing at Bruar Falls with Holy Hail and Desert Stars. It will be our second show ever and i’d love it if you guys could come out and see us. I’m hoping to not be as nervous the second time around! It’s also Holy Hail’s record release party so it’ll be extra special.

We are the first band so we go on early. Hope you can make it!! Here’s a link to a few songs from our last (aka first) show which was videotaped by Peter Beste.

See you there!!

why is it so hard to find?

discovered that early/mid-career the human league is perfect music for autumn days. this cover of “you’ve lost that loving feeling” is genius in its sparseness.

Don’t talk
Close the door
You’ve been here before

Your shape dim
I’m an old man now
The air’s thin
The walls very damp now
And if I don’t go
I’ll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner

I don’t forget
Though I’ve grown weak now
Experience is useless
Unless you can learn
And I’ve never met anyone
Who used their knowledge
To avoid those mistakes made again and again

And if I don’t go
I’ll always be stuck here in this poor little room
With a view of the corner

- The Human League (Reproduction, 1979)

Setting foot into the House of Yes on any day of the year is generally a shocking experience. For two nights only, this Halloween, House of Yes is abandoning any taste and restraint, and letting the deranged side shine. The entertainment within the Haunted House of Yes ranges from X-rated to other worldly, from profound to fucked up.

Only the most demented performance, installation and video artists, musicians, architects and comedians were selected to create this multi-sensory disaster.

Haunted House of Yes is conceptualized and created by Graham Skipper of FUCT (a torture comedy troupe) and Julia LaVault (House of Yes’ lighting designer). Contributing artists include Zev David Deans, Pak-Kei Mak, Philip “Slime” Riley, Van hughes and Leslie McDonel, and Emmanuelle Chammah.

Be ready to sign a waiver and prove that you’re over 18, and sorry in advance for the post traumatic stress disorder.

Friday October 30th from 7 pm to 2 am +  Saturday October 31st from 10pm to 2 am, $10
