The logo for the London 2012 Olympic Games aims to convey “dynamic, modern and flexible.”

The Iceman Cometh “is a life-size platinum skull set with 8,601 high-quality diamonds. If, as expected, it sells for around $100 million this month, it will become the single most expensive piece of contemporary art ever created. Or the most outrageous piece of bling.” I wouldn’t be surprised to see a rapper sports this skull on their chest.

Charles Mungus’ “The Clown” is a mesmerizing storytelling improvisation narrated by Jean Shepherd. Here is Mingus’ own word on the piece:

I felt happy one day. I was playing a little tune on the piano that sounded happy. Then I hit a dissonance that sounded sad, and I realized that the song had to have two parts. The story as I told it to Jean Shepherd, is about a clown who tried to please people – like most jazz musicians do – but whom nobody liked until he was dead. My version of the story ended with the clown blowing his brains out, with the people laughing and finally being pleased because they thought it was part of the act. I liked the way Jean changed the ending; it leaves more up to the listener.

Matt Taibbi slaughters Rudy Giuliani:

Now Giuliani is running for president — as the hero of 9/11. George Bush has balls, too, but even he has to bow to this motherfucker.

The 2007 Senior Class President only had 395 days to write his speech, but he wrote it at 1:00am on the day he delivered it.

Winehouse’s rep is as famous as her album. From Lynn Yaeger’s “Winehouse Rules“:

Last February, when a presenter at the BRIT Awards, England’s version of the Grammys, joked that “Winehouse” is the new name for Amy’s liver, it was further proof that the singer’s louche proclivities are now as famous as her extraordinary talent—she was named best British female singer that night. Now Rod Stewart says he’d like to record an album with her (a mixed blessing) and her name is being bounced around as, believe it or not, the next Bond girl. Whatever the future holds, Winehouse, 23, has already secured a place in the great tradition of women who get high and tear your heart out, from Billie to Judy, Mama Cass to Janis.
