Say the word “communism” and chances are most people will conjure images of the Soviet Union, the Cuban Missile Crisis, or Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe at the United Nations. It is far less likely that anyone will recall the unassuming brick structure that stands on the corner of Forsyth and Broome Streets in downtown Manhattan, the site of some of the earliest socialist and communist meetings held in the United States (back in the 19th century). For artist Yevgeniy Fiks, however, this type of place has inspired works that examine the often overlooked history of communism in the West.

In an international match in 2008, Portugal traveled to Brazil and got defeated by 6-2. In that game, Cristiano Ronaldo had a small fight and misunderstanding with Marcelo, with both players approaching their heads very close of each other. A few months later, Ronaldo and Marcelo would start training together in Real Madrid and some might even say they became best friends.

Art in the news

The Leicestershire based artist Shauna Richardson’s has crafted a very British contribution to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games called The Lionheart Project. She is known for a distinct body of work that she calls “Crochetdermy”—life-size, realistic, crotchet animal creations—and, after two years of work, has crafted three nine-metre-long lions out of 36 miles of Swaledale wool. Conceived as an interpretation of Richard the Lionheart’s coat of arms, and presented in the spirit of a medieval travelling menagerie show, the figures will tour the country in an illuminated glass case. The procession is scheduled to start the tour at Chatsworth on 1 May and arrive at the Natural History Museum in London in time for the games, having visited multiple venues and reaching an estimated audience of more than half a million people. The Lionheart Project is part of Artists Taking the Lead, a series of 12 public art commissions across the UK to celebrate the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. E.R.

Sam Adams: Boston's Boy

About a week ago, I saw a link from a friend on Facebook talking about Sam Adams. I checked it out, then texted 4 or 5 of my friends in the music industry asking about him. No one had heard of him. That night, I heard back from every one of them, and they all had one thing to say. The kid is nice. His name spread like wild fire, everyone in and around Boston was asking someone else about him.
A week later, his name is everywhere. Just a few hours ago, Clinton Sparks was blogging about him. First his buzz hit everyone, and then Adams rose to #1 on Itunes with his EP “Boston’s Boy.” It out ranked Wayne’s new album, (even though it’s been out for about a month, it’s still Wayne), Khaled’s new album, and even the Blueprint 3. That is crazy, it’s not even a major labeled album, it’s an independently made EP. This kid doesn’t even have a major record deal yet.

Sam Adams: Into the wild

After touring for the past year and change, Sam Adams decided to kick things off this year by giving his fans what they’ve all been waiting for, new music. This 10 track free pre-album entitled Into The Wild is just a taste of what is in store for 2012. Special shout out to Sam’s DJ, Jayceeoh, who helped mix, cut, and master the project.
