"il n'ya pas de Cubisme," he said blithely, and then excused himself to go feed his pet monkey

ode to the bauhaus and their affection for the egalitarian lower case.

lists, when heft and substance devoid: this passing post will do very little to compensate for my neglect of the blog (as a function of far too little time, but more pertinently, complete absence of a clear, blog-amenable frame of mind). as a painless exercise for 3:20am, here's a list of exciting happenings in music and the arts that i look forward to, in the good company of motley crews, in this finite time horizon (and here i partially revert to the common way we punctuate Proper Nouns):

Motel de Moka: unmistakably sublime, a true gem of a music blog. stuff that feeds the soul and rivets the senses, where shakti resides side by side with arve hendrickson, bobby mcferrin, esmerine, and tom waits.
