The Man Behind Two of the Greatest Albums of the Century Is Gone

Slate

The singer leaves behind two of the greatest albums of the century--and generations of artists still struggling to keep up. Great artists who are the opposite of prolific are always a thorny subject. Many of our most romantic ideas about creativity tend to view "genius" as a kind of vessel state, from which beauty and inspiration simply flow forth, effortlessly and boundlessly: It's deflating to be confronted with the reality that this isn't always how it works. And, of course, when such artists come to be the subjects of intense devotion and scrutiny, it often provokes a demand for more and more, faster and faster, which usually has the counterproductive effect of further pressurizing an already fraught creative process. And yet these artists are distinctively precious in their own way, necessary reminders (particularly in our age of pathological, parasocial standom) that even stars don't exist solely as objects for our consumption, that sharing a world with people who provide us with beautiful things is a privilege to be cherished and cared for, rather than an entitlement to be hoarded or otherwise fetishized.


Weather Channel gets jazzy, retro makeover from dedicated online fans

Popular Science

The free service offers retro graphics, smooth tunes, and up-to-date forecasts. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The Weather Channel's accuracy has undoubtedly improved since the early days of cable TV, but the same can't necessarily be said about The Weather Channel's . That's not meant as an insult to the company's art design team--but there is simply no real match to that distinctly minimalist, retro-rudimentary look of forecasts from the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s. Need further proof that there are those out there who yearn to return to the days of meteorology reports coupled with smooth jazz?

Del Toro's Frankenstein is a sumptuous take on a classic parable

New Scientist

Del Toro's Frankenstein is a sumptuous take on a classic parable With enthralling visuals and intense performances, this version of Mary Shelley's sci-fi tale reminds us to ask not only if we can create life, but if we can live with our creations, says Davide Abbatescianni Guillermo Del Toro has long been fascinated by the borderlands where science, myth and monstrosity meet. In his new film, Frankenstein, he turns at last to Mary Shelley's foundational text: the 1818 novel that many argue gave birth to both science fiction and modern horror. The result is visually sumptuous, performed with intensity and, at times, philosophically acute - even if its pacing and some design choices betray the heavy hand of Netflix, the film's financier. Shelley's story of Victor Frankenstein - a brilliant but reckless scientist who dares to bring dead matter to life - remains one of the most potent cautionary tales about the promise and peril of scientific ambition. In del Toro's film, Oscar Isaac plays Victor as a charismatic, obsessive figure whose wounds, both personal and intellectual, propel him into uncharted territory.
