This week's favorites

Hello everyone. Excuse the lack of posts. I've been hired to write a book. Also, I just had knee surgery.

So I've been a little bit less than lucid. Hopefully this post makes sense when I reread it in an hour or so.


Here are things that I've really enjoyed this week.

1. Breathing

2. Space Machine- Cosmos From Diode Ladder Filter LP

Cosmos From Diode Ladder Filter, the only LP from Masonna side-project Space Machine, is a soothing, retro bit of analog synth doodling. It sounds like the inner workings of a spaceship from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. It's a piece of work far removed from Yamazaki's mostly-harsh output and, as a result, is a refreshing hidden gem.

It's long out of print but it is on Youtube. Listen to it here

3. IE Selvedge Coat

For when you really want to look like a homeless logic professor, this is the coat for you.

Ah, I kid, I kid. This is actually quite a lovely piece. I'm very small so it fits my frame quite well. I can't wait to wear it often enough to get it dirty.

It's only available at Layers in London. Cop it if you're in the area.

4. 

A brilliant history of one of the most imaginative and influential political movements of our time. Definitely worth a read.

Also, if you're a "true" situationist, you'll wrap this book in sandpaper before you put it on the shelf.

5. MSBR 7" + Sculpture

Unfortunately there is no photograph of this release on the internet and I am in no position to go get it off my shelf and photograph it myself.

With that said, this release by MSBR, psuedonym of late noise figurehead Koji Tano, is something you should see for yourself. It's literally a 7 inch attached to a spring and a piece of wood. It's whimsical, silly, and very fluxus. It'll look nice on your coffee table and will annihilate your turntable.
