Before Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness made them arena headliners, The Smashing Pumpkins were already stretching the boundaries of alternative rock. "Drown" was recorded for the 1992 Singles film soundtrack before later appearing on expanded editions of Gish, blending dreamy melodies with an extended psychedelic finale. This Pinkpop performance from 1994 captures the band in a period of rapid ascent, with their ambitious live sound setting them apart from their peers.
Jim Morrison. Our Shaman, our Mr. Mojo Risin', our frontman, our American Poet.
Today, we remember Jim. A singular artist whose creativity knew no boundaries, his influence can still be felt through every generation of listeners who discover The Doors for the first time.
Through his music, poetry, and fearless pursuit of artistic expression, he challenged audiences to see the world differently. More than five decades later, his words continue to inspire, provoke, and resonate with those who find meaning in them.

Keith Haring used the New York subway as his personal laboratory between 1980 and 1985, drawing thousands of spontaneous images with white chalk on the matte black paper covering expired advertisements.
He often created these drawings in just a few minutes during a subway stop, and he viewed this process as a performance and a way to make art accessible to the general public, not just to galleries.
