Good news for everyone in Madison Square Park stuck on that super long Shake Shack line—there's new pretty art to play with! The Madison Square Park Conservancy recently unveiled plans for their newest interactive art installation, Pet Sounds, by California-based artist Charles Long—it will go on display starting May 2nd and remain on view through early September.
Madison Square Park Is Getting Some New Vibrating Public Art
Stefano Bollani, Pianist
Italian pianist Stefano Bollani has been known to play everything from Pet Sounds to Prokofiev. As a kid he could keep up with Scott Joplin recordings sped up from 33 to 45 rpms, and even today the 35-year-old, classically trained, composer is nothing less than rousing (Check out Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz on NPR.org).
"Weirdest Moment on TRL, Ever."
Ever wonder what goes on behind those glass walls at the TRL studio? Yeah, we haven't been too curious either. Until this was passed along to us. Yesterday, the TRL writers decided to make Justin Timberlake identify real animal mating sounds. "Future Sex Love Sounds" is the name of JT's new album, the game was called (not Pet Sounds) "Animal Love Sounds", and seriously, you have got to hear these animal sounds. You'll want to skip to the 1:05 mark to avoid any unnecessary fangirl banter and "Sexy Back" references.
