It is hard to picture Einstein’s family. The idea of him having similarly electric-haired siblings, i.e. a golden gene pool of genius, just seems kind of ridiculously unfair.  In the same sense, it made our brains ache a little bit to suddenly have it brought to our attention that the untouchable Radiohead genius, Thom Yorke not only has a family but in particular an awesome younger brother named Andy, who we've never heard about.

“What?! There’s more than one of them?! How did that happen?! What do they do at Christmas?! Will the world implode if they perform at the same time?!”

Well, no, actually. Because Thom and Andy – also an accomplished musician in his own right (for the band Unbelievable Truth among other things) – have done just that and collaborated on a Mark Mulcahy (ex-frontman of Miracle Legion and esteemed solo artist) cover, titled “All For The Best”, as part of a tribute album titled Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs Of Mark Mulcahy (out September 29, through Shout Factory Records). Witness the uncomfortable, eerie brilliance in this Rolling Stone exclusive:

The album also features the impressive likes of Dinosaur Jr, The National, REM's Michael Stipe and (one time Lemonheads member) Juliana Hatfield. In case you’re wondering, the original, rather Joy Division-centric, Miracle Legion version of “All For The Best” sounded like this:

And, yes, while clearly Mulcahy wrote the thing originally, we feel like Thom and Andy bring a depth to it that is just outright, face-slappingly beautiful.

So, you see, there's a whole pile of stuff to keep you amused while you're waiting for the follow up to Radiohead's In Rainbows. Feel free to delve into the worlds of Andy Yorke and Mark Mulcahy in the meantime. We promise you won't be disappointed.

Four-year-old "Rizzo" re-creates the pre-game speech from the movie "Miracle" - based on the story of the 1980 US Hockey team, and their historic win over the juggernaut Soviet team in the midst of the Cold War.

Some said the Soviets were unbeatable: they had, after all, won every hockey gold medal dating back to 1964. And their "amateur" players had been playing professionally in the Soviet Union for years, and were widely considered some of the greatest players in the world. But Herb Brooks, a college hockey coach, put together a team of gritty college kids, and pulled off the impossible.

Kurt Russell plays Herb Brooks in the film, and does a remarkable job. But after seeing the little kid's version, I was actually ready to strap on a helment and some skates, take the ice and throw some bodies around.

Get the Oscar ready: this little guy is on his way!

If you haven't seen this movie, run, don't walk, to your Netflix cue.

Bred from a stone mason mother & a classical musician father, Jenn Porreca spent her early years traveling rather unconventionally - between England, Saudi Arabia and Pennsylvania before landing in the Bay Area at the age of 21. Painting is a way for this self-taught artist to share her unique, quixotic vision of the world. Though Jenn has been working around the clock to prepare two upcoming exhibitions in December, one at Scope during Art Basel Miami, and a second one the following week in New York City, we grabbed a quick chat with her:

Describe your style in 3 words: Honest, raw, poetic

There are a lot of East Asian influences in your work - Japanese manga for instance. How have your travels inspired your art? Ahhh, this question often comes up. I have been to Asia a number of times, but not yet to Japan. Without getting too personal, lets just say that i have a strong Asian and European influence in my life. I have been fortunate enough to travel a great deal and have spent alot of time in the Middle East, Europe and in the Asia-Pacific. This 'wanderlust' has had a huge affect on my outlook. I also think its interesting to use painting as a way of visual communication. People think "Japanese" because the eyes in my work are slanted a certain way, but they often forget that there are so many other countries in Asia.  The skin tone of these women is fair as well.....the patterns in the clothes from other places. I'm painting my view of the world.

Which other artist(s) most impressed/influenced you over the last year? There's a lot out there for us all to witness these days, and so it's hard to choose. This year, I've been really interested in fashion design, interior design, and textiles for inspiration. Diane Von Furstenberg's prints are amazing, as are vintage Vera Neumann scarves, which i started to collect recently... I always watch Christian Lacroix and Dior runways for visual candy. Interior designers are great to look at as well. I like Jonathan Adler and Kelly Wearstler.

You painted on a mini grand piano before. Which other mediums, other than canvases, are you willing to explore? Anything, everything. I actually started out painting on found wood I would gather off of the street which later evolved into large scale canvases. From time to time I go back to painting on found objects to remember my history. I'd really like to do some projects in textile design or fashion design for theater one day.

Favorite painting of yours? Its actually hard for me to look back at older works because I'm always looking to what I want to do in the future. My favorite paintings are those I will make in ten years from now.  There is so much to see and learn.

What can we expect from your two shows in December? Evolution, looser but more comfortable lines, bolder color palettes, and emotion.  I've been working on portrayal of emotion through facial expressions and making my figurative work more tangible.  I'm also working on a very large painting which will show at Opera Gallery in NY on December 10th.  Right now, this painting feels like my opus, though i'm sure its just another step towards larger paintings in general.

You're embracing new media and technology, and you're well aware that these new outlets may change forever the way traditional artists distribute their work. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think it's an amazing thing. The Internet and these various social media outlets are letting people be self-made. There are no more gatekeepers. But the same thing holds true as it did before, you have to be lucky, and I feel blessed with luck.
