Today's theme, although I didn't plan it, seems to be something along the lines of "everything old is new again." Without further ado...

• The Pet Shop Boys composed a new score to Battleship Potemkin.
• Nick Cave writes a Western movie. (Nice mustache at the premiere, Nick.)
• David Kime uses melted crayons and dolls to create new art pieces.
• Coke has commissioned artists to create new designs using the old Coke bottle shape, and then the new bottles will be sold at clubs so designated drivers can look ultra cool. Or something like that, anyway.
• Pierre et Gilles, a French art duo, are not old, but the news here is that they have an exhibit going on right now in Shanghai, where homosexuality is banned. Interesting, no? (More of their work is here, although the site's in French. But since it's mostly photos, the language doesn't matter much.)
