The Dream - Fancy ( Love vs Money 2009)

Macy’s wooden escalators at 34th st. New York, New York. 

The only 6min and 30 second song that feels like a full length movie. 

The build is drawn out so carefully,  the break doesn’t start until a quarter till the end and then yer going 100 miles per hour in a Bentley completely seduced by glamour

This song makes me want to shoplift at the Macys fragrance counter. Probably because I used to listen to it and shoplift at the Macy’s fragrance counter. 

The scat at the break still goes hard and I still have the rap at the end memorized. 

It’s a holiday track.

Andro Wekua "Fieber" - KONA BOOKS

I found this at After 8 Books in Paris this past May. I'd never heard of this artist but the size of the book drew me in. It's a large 16 x 12in hardcover printed on a nice textured newsprint. The paper feels heavier than regular newsprint and somewhere between 30-40 lbs. In other words, it feels great and has a nice bend to the paper. Much less delicate than newsprint which makes each page feel like a substantial printed work. 

I bought it blindly based just on what I saw on the pages and how the book felt. Each page is a collage of photos by Andro Wekua on Georgian newspapers collected between 2020 - 2021. 

The Georgian alphabet alone has enough to keep me entertained but the typography throughout is really playful and I was surprised to see so much variation and color in the " News ".  I can't read Georgian, so the text and images don't interact with each other past what I can visually interpret. However, these collages were still fun to "read". 

Below are some of my favorite pages. You can read more about it and the artist Andro Wekua at KONA BOOKS.

BOOKS I BORROWED

Some pages from the books I had to part with. I was thinking about and reading up on chaotic maps, sound and sculpture, and other stuff. It was really nice to have John Divola's images on my coffee table for a few months. Blue Note The Album Cover Art was also great. Some of the best record cover art design ever and the texture in the photography is also incredible.

Stonehenge should only be visited once. subsequent visits run the risk of being underwhelming.
