Look & Listen: New Jeremy Fish Show w/ Stories from Snoop Dogg, Mike Giant, more

Stereoscopic Art Immersion

While all of Jeremy Fish’s work is steeped in storytelling, for his newest show he’s actually letting you hear the story behind the work—while you look at the work.

Opening June 21 at Joshua Liner Gallery, each piece will be accompanied by headphones playing their respective stories, straight from the storyteller’s mouths—Snoop Dogg, Mike Giant, Lance Mountain, Mars-1, the Dandy WarholsCourtney Taylor, and more.

LA: Philippe’s French Dip and Lance Mountain

On the edge of LA’s Chinatown sits the birthplace of the French Dip sandwich, Philippe’s. Or at least, that’s what they say. Go downtown and Cole’s will claim the same thing. I can’t speak for Cole’s, but Philippe’s was a fine sando. [Sorry, no pic. It went down too fast.] For a pre-dipped version, it was surprisingly moist and flavorful without being a sloppy, drowning mess. And they score points for their clientele:

As ecstatic as he looks to put down his dip and take a pic with another, Lance was actually super nice. Hopefully I’ll be able to harass him at the X-Games tomorrow. Stalker alert!

Going beyond just a nod to the soundtrack’s original video to include a nice cameo by Ice Cube, too. Sweeet.

Nike SB‘s going to release a web-exclusive, extended version starring Paul and some “special friends”. All for the Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez III‘s coming out in August. (via Adverblog)

Damn, that cop looks a lot like Lance Mountain. Could he be one of the special friends?
