A little about the Moshpit
The term mosh came into use in the early 1980s American hardcore punk scene in Washington, D.C. Early on, the dance was frequently spelled mash in fanzines and record liner notes, but pronounced mosh, as in the 1982 song "Total Mash" by the D.C.-based hardcore band Scream. H.R of the band Bad Brains, regarded as a band that "put moshing on the map,"used the term mash in lyrics and in concert stage banter to both incite and to describe the aggressive and often violent dancing of the scene. To "mash it up" was to go wild with the frenzy of the music. Due to his Jamaican-accented pronunciation of the word, fans heard this as mosh instead

Snidbit of Basquiat interview from 82
From an early 1982 interview
MM: There's a certain, let's use the term, crudity, to your heads . . .Do you like it that way or would you like to get them more refined in a realistic way?
JMB: . . .I haven't met that many refined people. Most people are generally crude.
MM: Yeah? And so that's why you keep your images crude . . .
JMB: Believe it or not, I can actually draw.
MM: You're what, Haitian-Puerto Rican, is that - Do you feel that's in your art?
JMB: Genetically?
MM: Or culturally . . . I mean for instace, Haiti is of course famous for it's art.
JMB: That's why I said genetically. I've never been there. And I grew up in, you know, the principal American vacuum, you know, television mostly.
MM: No Haitian primitives on your wall?
JMB: At home? . . . Haitian Primitives? What do you mean? People?
MM: No I mean paintings . . . Where do the words come from?
JMB: Real life, books, television.
MM: And just skim them and start including certain -
JMB: No, man, when I'm working I hear them, you know, and I just throw them down.
MM: . . . It's just spontaneous juxtapostions and there's no logic?

Agustina Woodgate: Collectivism
Agustina Woodgate's work reminds us that all corporeal entities are interconnected with themselves and each other. Her practice investigates how stories, rituals, and traditions transform our relationships with the objects and places around us. This being-in-relation is a way of perceiving, a mode of moving, and a narrative of global truths designed by cultural fictions. COLLECTIVISM presents Woodgate's evolution by moving its audience towards a collective future, that is integrated, involved, inclusive, and in continual process.

Susan Coffey from New Jersey?
NEW JERSEY NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
Susan Coffey is a model based out of the dirty state of New Jersey. She is by far one of my favorite underground models. She's hot! Jersey isn't as ugly as I once thought!

Tetsuya Ishida
tetsuya ishida: Dark Surreal Realities
I Just recently discovered the works of Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida. He died very young after being hit by a train, from a possible suicide but nobody is really sure. Tetsuya painted scenes of ordinary life in Japan. He would alter figures to look like machinery or treated as part of a production line. He gave his painted people the sense of being overworked like cattle or like robots.
It appears his work will get more awareness then when he lived. On November 26th 2006 – one of his paintings, Untitled" 2001, sold at a Christies Hong Kong "Asian Contemporary Art" auction for 780,000HKD (over USD $100,000). The Christie's pre-auction estimate on the sale price of the painting was only 60,000-80,000HKD.
