David Bowie’s Thin White Duke KB: I’m more frightened by the Thin White Duke than I am by Aladdin Sane or Ziggy [Stardust]. He’s a little bit frightening because he has a little bit of a Third Reich influence, which is clearly extremely fucked up. The music that he did in that time period, whatever you call them, The Berlin Trilogy of records, are so amazing. They’re not really commercial...

A Guide To Liking the Mountain Goats
My friend Nora wrote this.
Buy a copy of Tallahassee when you’re in a relationship that’s not bad but not going to work out. Both of you know it— you’re still a little bit too broken, from both the depression and your last relationship, and he’s still as pristine and idealistic as the heroine of a Japanese video game. You’re high school sweethearts, for...

Why Susan Sontag is hot
claytoncubitt:
“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” -Susan Sontag

Mark Romanek Music Video Career Tribute from Del Padre Digital
The art of the music video. The 90’s were some great times for some brilliant directors and future auteurs. You can say that the music video peaked when John Landis did “Thriller”, but the 90’s was its “French New Wave”. David Fincher, Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze, Tamra Davis, Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, and Mark...

Anonymous Asked: You read a lot from bloggers who advocate just “going for it” with regards to making life-altering moves such as relocating to a major city. I like the sentiment, but realistically, what are the bare essentials someone should have (financially, vocationally, etc.) if they…

“Over spring break, I made a quick trip to New York, where I spent a number of hours in the AMAM’s and the Metropolitan Museum’s “Side by Side” exhibition.

The upcoming American Association of Museums (AAM) conference (happening here in Los Angeles in late May) is called “Museums Without Borders” accompanied by some fuzzy language about “connection, community, cultural identity, and the power of the imagination,” but many of the actual session titles betray an overriding preoccupation: how to get new and younger audiences...

A critical reading of New York sex diaries came out in fall of last year. You likely read it. But now that we have a little more distance from the piece, can we just admire its expert execution?

Really interesting photographer. Not only is her scope impressive, ranging from the 1980’s and across the globe, but the photographs themselves are beautiful in a sort of dark, enigmatic, Lynchian way.
Goes kind of nicely with Peter Greenaway’s ode to British bathrooms, 26 Bathrooms.

The Tournament of Books →

The Tournament of Books is less than two weeks away. As an appetizer, our official ToB Statistician, ANDREW SEAL, runs six years of numbers on Round 1. Time to download...
