Why I Think About Meditating a nice read currently on n+1.

I SAW JOSE GONZALEZ PLAY AT ZULU RECORDS THIS AFTERNOON; I WAS TOO SHY TO SAY HELLO.

(his songs sound best when it's dark and grey)

SOMETIMES I LISTEN TO ONLY ONE SONG, ON REPEAT, FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF A DAY.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER THE OVER. LIKE THIS ONE BY SCOUT NIBLETT.

MAYBE TOMORROW IT WILL BE THIS.

addicted to joan

for the last year i have been obsessed with joan didion. ever since picking up the wonderful 'year of magical thinking' i have searched out all her other work so that i can immerse myself in her fabulously poigniant bohemian life.

always a lovely read even when dealing with topics such as death, murder, and depression.

(she writes happy stuff too!)

“It seems to me that we are now compelled to recognize that we have no place to go but where we’ve been. We’ve got to go look at what we’ve done, which is oftentimes pretty awful, and see if we can’t make of this place a civilized home. We’ve in a sense built a house, but we haven’t made it a home.”— Robert Adams

Beautiful photos from one of my favourite photographers, Robert Adams, who was recently featured on season four of art:21.
