This is great: http://tmagazine.blo...titions-part-1/ It won't let me embed, so you'll have to go follow the link.

There are certain things that creative people share in common, and lately a chat with the artist Doug Aitken seems to be one of them. Aitken’s 2006 book, “Broken Screen,” featured interviews with 26 artists, including Robert Altman and Rem Koolhaas. Now, with his latest video project, “Patterns & Repetitions,” the artist sits down with a new cast in an attempt to put the pieces of the creative puzzle back together again. Each week, The Moment will feature a different segment: Mike Kelley talking about the Motor City; Jacques Herzog on instinct and architecture; Jack White (above) imagining Michelangelo as a modern-day blogger. But don’t be fooled by the coffee mugs and the California sunshine. Aitken doesn’t do anything casually. The subtext of the conversations is nothing less than the future of art itself.

What a great interview, I loved it.

(My personal view is no, Michelangelo wouldn't be pursued by paparazzi, RAPHAEL would be pursed by paparrazzi while Michelangelo sat in his studio and seethed--judging by what I've read, anyway!)

Enjoyed that very much... thanks for posting that... really wonderful and what i love as a grouping of ideas

You know they had to talk for longer than three minutes. I want the rest.

Absolutely! I was like, what did he say in between there and there?? sometimes things that get left out are interesting ( well to me anyways, dont know about the general population)

Ah, very cool! Thanks, Dr. Lou.

[Elixir_Sue]

Fascinating, even though I have no idea who Doug Aitken is. I like the sonic table too. I have a tiled floor throughout the house. If I were having it tiled this year rather than last century I would make each tile play a note as you walk over it.

I like the way Jack pronounces Michelangelo and De Stijl. He's so American. You can take the boy out of Detroit, but you can't take Detroit out of the boy!

[M@rk]

the next Jack White album will consist entirely of sonic tables

Movie Macabre cameo?

(perhaps it be time for a "Random Jack sightings"?)

This might be coming on tonight so be sure to tune in, although that usually means suffering through an awful movie.

[cheriebobbins]

I'm not sure if Movie Macabre is on any of the Canadian cable channels. I wonder if it will be online somwhere

[CaseOfThePunks]

Well you didn't miss anything, but I sure wish I had. Haha. Hopefully, Third Man will inform us when he makes his appearance. I hope he hasn't already.

Heres the clip/intro that Jack wrote...

[elizab0727]

I thought The Black Belles wrote that and Jack just produced it. Did he play drums on the recording?

[spastic.jerk]

I don't think so, thought it was weird they had him on the set playing drums, thanks for the reminder this was on though, just went off to snag all the episodes that are out - god I love me some shitty fucking movies - and some Jack White.

[cheriebobbins]

I want to know what he is doing behind the drum set on the show... a solo?

yeah What can I do is def. a more Meg sounding than Jack sounding drum rhythm.. I dont remember who is listed as playing drums on the album, ruby maybe?
