Zebra Katz, the Mind Behind Underground Anthem “Ima Read” Is Here to Chatz

Studio@Gawker · 04/17/13 10:59AM

Last year was a good year for Ojay Morgan. After being signed to Jeffree's, an offshoot of Diplo's Mad Decent label, his fascinatingly caustic single "Ima Read" was picked as the sole soundtrack for dark horse designer Rick Owen's Fall 2012 show. Soon after, Morgan (as his alter-ego Zebra Katz) was being asked to perform internationally, alongside obsessively-blogged-about indie darlings Azealia Banks and Lana Del Ray.

Listen up, kiddies of NYC, 20 years ago, all the places you wantonly roam around without a care in the world were once filled with hostile entities such as rats the size of cats (West Village) and giant, fake vomit puddles (at the 1993 Whitney Biennial). According to some, the whole city was a war zone.

Being a Badass Woman Is Pretty Much a Rule on Defiance

Studio@Gawker · 04/15/13 02:59PM

Defiance is Syfy's latest science fiction show for the sort who love aliens with vaguely British accents (why is that a thing?). The eponymous "New Earth" town is populated by seven races of aliens, and each one must fight hard to even coexist with one another. It takes a tough breed to make it in their world. No wonder the producers cast unarguably kickass actresses Julie Benz and Mia Kirshner in two of the several female roles.

Robb Skidmore · 04/11/13 10:59AM

On Sunday night, the National Geographic Channel kicks off three nights of '80s mania with the first episode of The ‘80s: The Decade That Made Us. In honor of this incredibly rad development, '80s authority Robb Skidmore cooked up some fan fiction starring two charmingly insufferable relics from the Me Decade, the Valley girl and the yuppie, set in a modern-day mall (remember those?). Warning: brick phone cameo ahead.

Robert Rodriguez Needs Weapons for His New Movie

Mike Bracken, the Horror Geek · 04/04/13 10:59AM

With a body of work that includes the guitar case rocket-launcher in Desperado and the motorized vampire-staker in From Dusk til Dawn, it's obvious that director Robert Rodriguez knows a thing or two about crafting amazing weapons that don't really exist (although I wish they did). But now he's turning to the denizens of the Internet for help with his latest project.

The New Warby Parkers Will Have You Running from the Paparazzi in No Time

Studio@Gawker · 02/14/13 11:59AM

It's obvious that you're what's hot right now. Producers blowing up your phone, agents fighting over you (publicly, too; how embarrassing — for them), maître d's practically mauling themselves on strategically-placed fici (plural of ficus) to get you the best table at restaurants with the word "bungalow" in their names. And all those texts from Famous Serial Dater/Oscar Nominee? Sooooo annoying. You're a serious artiste (you wear glasses, even!), not a flavor-of-the-month starlet.
