Now that we're back from L.A. L.A. Land and almost fully decompressed, I'll start the new year by sharing some of the stuff I've picked up along the way. (Don't thank me yet. The list I've compiled so far includes a dead writer's collectibles and a psychedelic anthem about Chopin's wife dancing a jig...)

"Canada" is one of those artists that could not have come out 10 years ago. As a director, his distinctive visual mix of found images, satanic imagery, sex, violence, funny and pop culture are very *dry heave* 'now'. Expect to see his name on the credits of some heavily funded pop bands soon. (He just joined the ranks of Partizan, the Wu-Tang clan of directors, after his internet succes with El Guincho) For now, his work has been coupled to lesser known artists, like Triangulo De Amor Bizzaro.
