Vi starter lige med et spritnyt nummer fra Vinnie Who, som 30. marts er klar med en ny plade. Jeg har været ret meget oppe at køre over hans førstesingle 'Seven' fra pladen, og det her tegner også godt.

"Mitchell was never at the top of the pops, exactly, yet her music, and some idea or memory of her, has endured. It can be difficult to be someone so famous — and so famously beautiful — and not feel the pressure of the sediment of time, to not be trapped in the amber of cultural memory. But her defiant relationship to her fame, her unwillingness to allow herself to be defined or even fully claimed by others, is precisely what has made her such a talismanic figure for so many, and for so long."
Dejligt interview med fantastiske Joni Mitchell. Hende vil jeg lytte til i dag.

"Boxing made me feel alive. I didn’t need to ask my dad to explain the rules and exceptions to the rules, like I did with football and baseball. It was obvious: hit or be hit, or protect yourself long enough that you tire your opponent out. Boxing is controlled survival. Literally, it’s a form of life or death."
Noget, jeg aldrig rigtig har tænkt over (og jeg har slet ikke efterprøvet det), er, at det altid er mænd og meget sjældent kvinder, som kommenterer i internettets kommentarfelter. Hvorfor kvinder ikke blander sig, prøver Washington Post at finde et svar på.

Indrømmet: Jeg bliver aldrig verdens største James Bond-fan. Men derfor er det stadig ret fedt at læse om skurkenes biler i den kommende James Bond-film 'Spectre'. De kommer blandt andet til at tælle en Jaguar C-X75, en Range Rover Sport SVR og en Land Rover Defender Big Foot. Særligt den sidstnævnte måtte gerne holde parkeret i min garage.

"Mr Jeffrey Deitch is an enigmatic paradox, the personification of the art world’s opposing poles. As consigliere to the collecting elite, he is resolutely discreet about his clients’ multimillion-dollar deals. But as the godfather who helped propel Mr Jeff Koons to fame and launched the careers of countless young artists, he is an expert promoter, a showman."
En af de vigtigste person i den internationale kunstverden, Jeffrey Deitch, i et fint portræt af Mr. Porter.

Nyt nummer fra Henrik Lamar: 'The Blacker the Berry'. Han lyder godt nok sur. I like.

"Never tell your wife she’s lousy in bed. She’ll go out and get a second opinion." – Rodney Dangerfield
Jeg har kun lært halvdelen af, hvad min far kunne med sine hænder. Og mine børn har lært mindre end halvdelen. De kan ingenting. Jeg tror, det vildeste, de kan, er at binde deres snørebånd. Det, tror jeg, kan være roden til noget af den mistrivsel, vi oplever.
