From the Department of Delightful Incongruity: Martha G. C. at the Art Museum Friday

The annals of cultural history are filled with unlikely pairings: think Bing Crosby and David Bowie duetting on “Little Drummer Boy”, or Orson Welles voicing a planet-eating robot in the original animated Transformers. However, few juxtapositions have been as wonderfully weird as the following:
Martha Graham Cracker. At the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This Friday.
As many of you probably know, the PMA hosts musical acts every Friday night, mostly from the realms of jazz and world music. This Friday, though, the main hall in Philly's landmark temple to high art will be getting a visit from Philly's tallest and hairiest drag queen. I think Pablo would approve. Hide or bring your kids, depending on what sort of kids you have.
In honor of Martha's upcoming appearance at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we're proud to reproduce the most disturbing postcard that Pig Iron has ever issued. Now, THAT's going to stick in your subconscious for a while, no?
