Playlist: Belly's Best Music of 2012, April-July

A staggering amount of great music has been released in the past four months. I assembled the highlights from numerous albums, as well as some singles and EPs, in order to share some of the pleasure I've been experiencing. There are some excellent videos in here as well, especially the one for Little Boots' "Every Night I Say A Prayer." I'm kidding about that one, but, in all seriousness, readers/listeners would be well-served to see this playlist through to the end. That said, allons-y.

Art Review: Get Your Rats (and Get) Out*


On July 25th, the artist Laura Ginn staged an exhibition called “Tomorrow We Will Feast Again on What We Catch,” at the Allegra La Viola Gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. While I did not attend this event, I experienced it vicariously via a review in the New York Times. After doing so, I felt compelled to share my own assessment of the concept, execution, and reception of this exhibition.
