A friend gave me this record a long time ago, but I've never known the name of the composer until now. Been playing this on loop, preparing for imaginary journey across desert.
YES! This movie is great. An 80s offering by the wonderful Věra Chytilová. Starts off as a teen ski movie then turns into John Carpenter's The Thing. Cautionary tale for Vermonters.
Finally found this in an old email. Thank you Catherine from Plastic Moonrise for telling me about this movie!!
Sinjin's grandpa brought this children's book and a few others back from Taiwan. Sinjin loves looking at the pictures!
Super excited for upcoming release by Plastic Moonrise. Beautiful concrete poems, lullabies and sonic acrostics for all you children of Alice out there. I love how it's all whispered like a secret, like only you are meant to hear it. Tick Tocks the Clock features cassette of mini-LP Tripping the Skipping Rope plus bonus tracks and poetry fanzine. Need this! Bandcamp/Soundcloud.
Men Become Civilized (Cambridge UP, 1969).
Nice photos from this lovely Japanese book on Swedish ceramicist Lisa Larson.
Cool feature on Chung Eun Mo in the latest Apartamento. Check out the net presence. I love this school mural.
Gamelan Son of Lion is a gamelan composers' collective based in New York, founded in 1976. Barbara Benary built most of these instruments herself out of steel keys, food cans and hubcaps (!) They did two Folkways LPs. First one is so good (haven't heard vol. 2). There's another Folkways gamelan LP called West Meets East that is also really good.
Janet Abbott, Learn to Fold - Fold to Learn (California State Department of Education, 1970).
While we were delayed at JFK we bought this at the Muji store. Comes with lots of stickers to put on the faces.
