A few things that I’m looking at right now:
The Grid System. A nice resource for all things grid.
I went and saw Jim Jarmusch’s new film, the Limits of Control, twice over the last two weeks. It’s brilliant. It just might be my new favorite Jarmusch film, with Dead Man following a close second. It has to do with the pacing, I think. It also has a lot to do with the soundtrack. This time around he uses his own band Bad Rabbit’s music along with Boris, Sunn o))) and Earth (w/ Bill Frisell). Brilliant. Check out these great articles by Simon Reynolds.
Hanging around Warpnet.com’s Beta site. Listening to Clark’s Album Sampler and looking at Harmonic 313’s Battlestar video. Check your eyes at the door. Beep, beep. Zork. clinque.
The Caretaker’s 6CD box set, Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia, is available for download on the V/VM website.
The UK foundry Colophon has released the entire family of Reader fonts for puchase. Reader is a refreshing new 1960’s Grotesk.
