1. Aa
2. Wavves
3. Male Bonding
Phone photos, Ekko, Utrecht, 29.11.09
Aa were fucking cool, Male Bonding were good, as always, Wavves seemed bored (no pun intended).
P.S. Utrecht is way nice, if you ever go, make sure you go to Broodje Plof for patat, eat a fresh stroopwafel by Hoog Catharijn, and play Connect Four in Coffee Company.

1. T-Rex in Amsterdam
2. Time travel in Euston Station
3. Connie Converse - How Sad, How Lovely (2009) (Ok, Connie Converse has been the Coolest Person Ever in my books for three weeks now. A singer-songwriter from the 1950s, she packed up her shit in 1974 and disappeared forever (FOREVER). Her music was dug up earlier this year and let me tell you, it is ace beyond ace.)
4. Also, if you ever need a haircut and are in Amsterdam, go to Mogeen. I know they pay them to be nice, but if the hair stylists offer you a bazillion types of tea, apples, sweets, biscuits, video projections and will give you a free trim a month later, they might also be genuinely nice.

1. Survival Research Laboratory, Increasing the Latent Period in a System of Remote Destructibility (1997)
2. Wetdog - Frauhaus! (2009)

I have neglected the music content on here lately, will improve, promise.

1. Loves of a Blonde/Lásky jedné plavovlásky - Miloš Forman (1965) (Yeah, this is way cool.)
2. The Witches of Eastwick - George Miller (1987) (Ridiculously ridiculous, the fashion is the shit.)
3. Madonna - What It Feels Like For a Girl (2001) (Good lyrics, really good early noughties bad hair.)

I like drawing. It is nice. Warsaw Love.

Going home for the weekend to stock up on good stuff.

1. Brion Gysin - No Poets (1962)
2. The permutated poems set the words spinning off on their own; echoing out as the words of a potent phrase are permutated into an expanding ripple of meanings which they did not seem to be capable of when they were struck and then stuck into that phrase.
Brion Gysin - Cut-ups Self-explained (1973)

1-3. Bologna, Florence and San Luca

Missing people is fucking shit.

1. Cool holiday snapshot I found in a junk shop in Camden last autumn.

Clothes are cool, yeah? Here are three recent cool/good clothes-related things:
2. Kloos Vintage - this weekend in Westerpark in Amsterdam.
3. Pracownia Żelazko - Warsaw-based new, cool online vintage shop opening this weekend.
4. Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops - Sign the petition because this is actually important.
5. Vintage Delirium di Franco Jacassi, Via Sacchi 3, Milan - Hidden away in an old Italian apartment building, ring at the gate to get in. I went here last weekend while in Italy. Their extensive, beautiful collection of vintage items left me dumbfounded. Prices are very steep, but I sincerely recommend it for purely aesthetic reasons.

1. Easy Rider - Dennis Hopper (1969) (Shit man, I love this part.)
2. Easy Rider (Sweded) (Sweding stuff is probably the coolest thing ever.)

Concentration, concentration, no repeats or hesitation. Fifty million things to choose from. Zo starts.

1. It Wasn't Love (1992)
2. Me and Rubyfruit (1992)
3. Girl Power (1992)
All by Sadie Benning. I saw Sadie's videos at MAMbo last week. Please read about her.
I experienced a lot of nice things and good stuff in Bologna this past week. I will trickle them into this blog with time.
