procrastination assistance: The Merlin Show

image

If you are a fan of 5ives (one of my favorite time-eaters) then you'll love
The Merlin Show...interesting interviews in bite-sized portions.
My favorite is this four part series with John Roderick of The Long Winters,
whoever knew that the writer of the beautifully heartfelt and poignant song Ultimatum was so damn funny.

the art of Amy Lin

image

I love the layered molecular work of Amy Lin,
especially this colored pencil drawing titled Tripled.
Check out more of her work here or pick up
issue 69 of New American Paintings, in which she was featured.

Summer Camp

image

I'm a huge fan of Chicago Public Radio's "This American Life"
and am often listening while working at my bench...
as I am this morning.
This Notes on Camp episode is hilarious.
give it a listen here.

what’s spinning: BAD

image

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today
so I'm revisiting some of my favorites from way, way back
like this debut from Big Audio Dynamite.
Mick Jones groovies-up his Clash sound and tosses in
some inspired sampling.

And don't let the 1985 release date deter you,
this sonic gem sounds surprisingly fresh.

Check out the other new additions to our necklace collection with many more to come.

what’s spinning: The Apples In Stereo

image

I think I've listened to New Magnetic Wonder,
the highly-recommended latest by The Apples In Stereo,
about ten times this weekend.
Wonderful...I love albums where each song
sounds like it's from a different band yet remains
groovily coherent.

hot off the workbench: N01210



check out our brand spanking new frosted sun pendant
on a clear rubber necklace.
It should look very cool on those hot summer days.
