Ringo Starr's Gold Drum
New York Beatles fans will want to head over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art before June 30, 2011 to see a very rare artifact from the Fab Four. Taken from Ringo Starr’s personal collection, the Met is displaying a gold drum that was presented to Ringo by the Ludwig Drum Company in 1964. When The Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, Ringo was such a fan of Ludwig Drums, he insisted that the brand name be shown on camera. Sales of Ludwig drums went through the roof after the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and as a thank you, the Ludwig Drum Company made and presented Ringo Starr with a drum made out of gold.

The drum is on display at The Met (located at 1000 5th Avenue in New York) through June 30, 2011. The golden drum is located in the Andre Mertens Galleries for Musical Instruments.

"Salvaged Perspective" by J Carlos Pinto. Now showing at Phantom Audio in NYC
Frankie Velez presents a must see exhibit by Guatamalan artist J Carlos Pinto. Entitled “Salvaged Perspective,” Pinto has made collages out of pieces of New York subway Metrocards. The detail of each work is incredible and the exhibit has dozens of works in every size. Subjects range from the Mona Lisa to Barack Obama! You’ll see these icons as you never have before and I know you’ll be wowed. I’ve seen a few pieces of J Carlos Pinto’s work before but this was my first experience of seeing a full exhibit and it is incredible! He’s extremely prolific and you’ll definitely find yourself wondering how he makes these works of art.

Spotted in the crowd at the opening night gala reception were artists Wonder Lee, Eric Eyeball Richardson, Fumero, Gigi Chen and Sienide. I was fortunate enough to talk to J Carlos Pinto and he was very nice and approachable. You can see a photo of that after the jump.
“Salvaged Perspective” by J Carlos Pinto is now showing at Phantom Audio, located at 48 West 25th Street, 10th Floor in Manhattan. The exhibit will be showing until the end of May, 2011 so don’t miss it!

All I needed was this car to move out of the way so I could get a clear shot, but that was not happening! Keep Japan in your thoughts during this difficult time!
