FAULKNER AT UVA (THE ARCHIVES/THE RIDE) →
“Faulkner spent two years as the writer-in-residence at UVA, where he gave lectures and readings and took questions from students. The lectures were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes, which have now been digitized and published online.”

Once again we have an interview originally published in The Vice Photo Book back in 2007 for you. This one’s with Roe Ethridge, today’s featured photographer. And if you forgot, he also shot the wonderful still-life gracing this issue’s cover.

Why parents hate parenting.

“Before urbanization, children were viewed as economic assets to their parents. If you had a farm, they toiled alongside you to maintain its upkeep; if you had a family business, the kids helped mind the store. But all of this dramatically changed with the moral and technological revolutions of modernity. As...

The Brilliant and the Dark was a 1969 composition for a woman’s choir that explored women’s history from the Middle Ages to WWII, narrated through the eyes of “witch-hunters, embroiderers, crusaders’ wives, plague-stricken women, mourners and war workers.” This year, open-music archivists/artists Eileen Simpson and Ben White acquired permission to use the piece for a live...
PORTILLO'S (WHAT IS BEST)
Had half of one of these and chocolate cake last night and nearly lost my shit. Portillo’s is so BOSS. It’s a trek but was delivered to me by EL EAGLE who stopped with buds on the way home from Anaheim. Made me miss the Chi ever so much. YUMZ HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD.

Angelino Heights maybe a possible winner but WTF w/ the resaturant choice being Real Food Daily? What’s IS up with that? Really? That’s where you take someone to eat.

Whilst reading this article I was basically in hell. I said, “I’m in hell.” Here’s Emily Gould in all her glory trying to prove that Jezebel is a shit eating internet conglomerate just trying to make money off the insecurities of women rather than empowering them (her article was on Slate). Lydia and I got on the IM to discuss.

"Koons was a good choice, but I really don't see... →
Well excuse me if this makes me sound daft but I saw Koons at Versailles and I thought it was a poop. Now a poop isn’t the most mature word to use but it’s pretty descriptive. Koons pieces lay there like giant turds amongst the beauty of Versailles. We lived with it. Now it’s over. Fine.
Murakami would be a great choice and something I frankly would have rather seen.

“Their Donut ice cream is just like a creamy, frozen lick of the real, cake-y deal. Aztec Sacrifice is a frosty take on eye-widening spicy hot cocoa or truffles (and made with the blood of a thousand virgins, to boot!). And Pancake Breakfast is just that: Pancake ice cream with a hint of maple syrup, chunks of real bacon (veggies, look away!), and...

The below are my favorite Patti Smith quotes from piece in INTERVIEW. Every single time I get off track or can find a genuine thing in my life I can take from her wisdom to keep me going. She is a form of artistic purity to me and someone who calms my fears when I am overwhelmed by the shit of Los Angeles and the shit of life. The misconceptions on gall and drive and what it takes to live freely...
