- I wasn’t sure the Frieze Art Fair was going to get me out to Randall’s Island, but now that Roberta’s and Frankie’s will be setting up shop, I’ll totally go. [Eater]
- “Ten Tributes to Mike Kelley” includes this gem: “When my daughter and her friend (Colette Weber Shaw and Ariel West) started a band at around eight years old they called it Dolphin Explosion. Mike loved the name and said, 'Do you think I could be the drummer?' The look in his eyes was part fun (with his characteristic twinkle) but part worry. I said I'd ask them. I could tell this meant a lot to him, then I was worried. Thankfully, they shrugged their shoulders and said sure, like, 'Why would that old guy want to be in our band, but whatever.' When I told Mike they would let him join he looked really happy and asked, 'When do we practice?' He took it really seriously, instigating rehearsals, setting up the equipment in his studio, pounding away on drums, shouting out, 'Chocolate, chocolate!' on cue. [Frieze]
