I looked at Wanderlust but I couldn't work out if it had plates - I see now that it seems to be more or less an exhibition catalog & does. I've just grabbed a copy.
Hadn't seen the anthology either - I'll check it out too.

Thanks v much - really helpful

Any recommendations other than Utopia Parkway, which I've read?

In particular I'd like to find colour plates. Hard to find out if there's a book with a good number of these.

Most of the energy has moved to "redactionism" these days.

I think I just don't respond well to this kind of morally uncomplicated, sentimental fare. Clearly it is dreadful that someone sh...

So this is this week http://2017.luff.ch/fr/programme.php I'm not sure if any of you are from this part of the world, but if you are, or if you're going to LUFF anyway, I'll be playing on the Thursday night (as will Alice Kemp, Phil Julian, Dale Cornish) and in Lausanne Thu and Fri, and it'd be nice...

https://media2.giphy.com/media/VdwmceVinGtCU/giphy.gif Stan Brakhage, Dog Star Man , 1961 Slowly working my way through the Brakhage archive. Still not sure what to make of this, arguably his most famous work. Found several points to agree with here https://thecinemaunderground.wordpress.com/2011/0...

The Apartment (Dir. Billy Wilder, 1960) https://michellebookaddict.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/apartment_026pyxurz.jpg I love this film in a way that invalidates anything I could say about it and makes its flaws irrelevant. At this point it's a functional prop, stored with the blanket and the soup.

You'd have to guess it's in an effort to fit breaks to more-or-less natural breaks in the music. I've not heard this one, but the longform Kayn stuff I have heard isn't just total continuum - it has structure - definable "sections". The only thing that I can say right now is that there are several ...

looks pretty amazing, but I'm wondering why 'almost 14 hours of music' is on 16 CDs and not the 12 it would easily fit on.

There's one on australian ebay for about £50.
But more than anything I wanted to say cheers for alerting me to an interesting project. There are a few videos of the installation its based on on youtube and it looks great.

so who is the rottweiler??? Theresa May's Conservatives, now featuring the DUP and with added Gove. for me it sounds as if the other dan just didn't like corbyn? many people will vote only for a potential winner, so maybe next time it's the opportunists who will come out from under the bed ... also...

Since we've strayed into UK politics: they're a real state at the moment. I'm experiencing a certain degree of alienation from the left as it continues to myopically and simplemindedly celebrate what is both a loss for us and a worsening of the situation for the very people our politics is supposed ...

I'm a little surprised by the Vainio connection. Were you, Dan? Time to go back to those Pan(a)Sonic CDs gathering dust in my bedroom airing cupboard, methinks It's weird to comment. I think it's just timing. It's easy to build a connection, when something is in your thoughts, which you mightn't ha...

Enjoying Silicon Valley. First ep was a bit unfocused, but still funny. This week's: very good. As someone about to start a PhD in VR interface development I enjoyed this: “It’s a VR play, that’s the frothiest space in the Valley right now. Nobody understands it but everyone wants in. Any idiot coul...

... AFTER THE STORM (2017) ... I've not seen this one yet, but I've been a fan of all the Koreeda films I've seen. If you thought this had promise but didn't deliver you might enjoy Still Walking - which I think is still my favourite of his. After Life is a lovely oddity of a film too - half docume...

I've really liked Saul's pacing, but this last episode was *very* thinly spread. For me it has worked up to now because the pace has been motivated by character interaction, detail. They've not relied much on suspense. But for this episode at least it felt like some Breaking Bad style suspense-revea...

Paul Margree saying nice things: https://weneednoswords.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/daniel-bennett-roil/ "... if the high-temperature fury of its constructions place it towards the more abrasive end of the OMT portfolio, alongside such delights as Nick Hoffman’s Necropolis and Enrique R. Palma’s Conten...

It'll be a shame if Veep tanks it. The gf and I had been looking forward to this season, if slightly nervously. I think they survived Iannucci's departure pretty well (even if that sometimes felt it meant a shift to broader, less surprising material), but I've been worrying how they can possibly res...
