F**K THA POLICE Linkdump
Since Kyle's getting back on the horse, I guess I can try to keep up. At least it's an excuse to not read what I need to read or write what I need to write or shoot what I need to shoot.
So...
NWA's Straight Outta Compton edited down to just the "explicit content". Maybe not worth owning but definitely worth a listen.
Don't tell anyone that I first saw Bryten Goss's paintings in Nylon magazine. Odd nudes & burning buildings (not at the same time).
Kyle reminded me that I forgot to mention that a new print of Godard's Masculine Feminine is making the "art cinema" rounds at the moment. I saw it a few weeks back & the wacky semi-plot, the pretty girls, the camerawork, the music & the overwhelming attractiveness of mid-60s Paris pulled me out of the sad funk I was in, at least for 103 minutes.
I guess neither is out just yet but the new records by Spoon & Oneida are hot shit good & after their release & your purchase, glue them to your turntable (you need two, I guess) & listen to them alternately. Actually you need 2 copies of each & 4 turntables. Never mind, you get the idea, huh? Both of their websites are newish & great, too.
Do you like maps? I do. I've been all about them for weeks on end now. This book, You Are Here, is great fuel for the fire.
Despite the voice(s) in my head telling me not to, I spent a piece of my financial aid check on The Photobook - A History, Vol. 1. Yes, a book about photobooks. A gazillion pages long, ridiculously high print quality & IT'S ONLY VOLUME ONE.
