this here is a 1949 buick super sedanette the way it looked when it rolled out of the showroom. its a two door with a straight eight and a fastback in like new (unrestored) condition. this may be my big personal icon for the 20c.
MJ: You've written that the concept of boredom didn’t really exist until 1760.
TH: That's the date most of us put on the Industrial Revolution, i.e. the age of the Big Machine. The idea of the machine was that we wouldn’t have to do that kind of work anymore ourselves. But you still need lots of men to work the machines, and these men become robotic because there’s no real skill involved. It’s like in Fast Food Nation where Eric Schlosser says the ultimate successful business could be operated by monkeys. They make it easier and easier to work the machines and keep the wages as low as possible. In the past we had a more varied existence, where you might do a bit of weaving, you’d be tending the garden, you were involved in a whole range of activities. You still see it now, if you go to, say, rural Mexico. Work was mixed in with leisure, and the day was more varied, so it wasn’t boring.

If the Nomadic museum shows up in your city, it’s worth a visit. Like much of Ban’s work, it questions the norms of Western buildings by confronting them with a strikingly different architectural sensibility, and demonstrates that contemporary architecture can be both innovative and deconstructive without blobs, shards, or other formal gyrations.from brutal joint

The Beastie Boys paid a licensing fee for the six-second, three-note segment of Newton's work but failed to pay an additional fee to license the underlying composition.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to dismiss Newton's lawsuit alleging copyright infringement. The appeals court reasoned that the short segment in "Pass the Mic" was not distinctive enough to be considered Newton's work.
