WILD. 

Arrington de Dionyso and his solo work @ WFMU Benefit - Bell House, Brooklyn - Jan 13 2013. 

From Calvin’s touring collection, a live Beat Happening set at Maxwell’s from 1991.  If you’ve seen the Hive Dwellers, you know Calvin’s still got killer moves. Dreeeeamy.  

Members of LAKE—Andrew Dorsett, Eli Moore, & Ashley Eriksson—created the sound piece for this animation, Like A Lantern by Lilli Carre!

Calvin Johnson made an appearance on London Fuse TV last June to promote his new album Hewn From The Wilderness (have you heard it yet? Because you can totally stream the whole thing for free in the K shop!) 

A charming fifteen minutes of footage with the most intriguing man you’ll ever meet.
