Genetic Bomb



Andrew J. Offutt and D. Bruce Berry's Genetic Bomb is the story of a futuristic space-pimp called Wesley Harmon, quickly entangled in a centuries deep metaphysical mouse-trap. By the end of the book he's woo-ed a lesbian. One character's name is Roland Balearic. I shit you not. Alternately confusing and softcore, Genetic Bomb strikes a chord that could best be describe as Season 2 Star Trek with a weed boner.

Jamie Livingston's Photo of The Day



Between March, '79 and October, '97, photographer, film-maker and circus performer Jamie Livingston shot a Polaroid each day of his life. Altogether there are 6,697 photos - some have been lost or misplaced through the years. The collection does the web rounds every six months or so (take a look at Chris Higgins' post on Mental Floss as a cross-reference), for reasons obvious. At the end of his life Livingston tangled with cancer, documented in detail - while a life cut short is a terrible thing, Livingston seems to have (inadvertently?) finagled his way into a new life e-ternal, celebrated by total strangers sharing his life with more people than I'm sure he could have imagined would ever see his photos.

Opera Nocte



“When you meet the girl who wouldn't et cetera you will tell her that you are slumming, visiting your own six A.M. Lower East Side of the soul on a lark, stepping nimbly between the piles of garbage to the gay marimba rhythms in your head. Well, no not gay. But she will know exactly what you mean.” – BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY

Rolling Thunder (1977)



The mission continues in another seedy bar in another Mexican town with Forchet sent in ahead, as before. This particular encounter results in a vicious fight with Rane again using his hook to devastating effect – this time in the crotch of Automatic Slim. - Wikipedia

M'uad Dib


Paul Pope via Mishka

"It is said of Muad'dib that once when he saw a weed trying to grow between two rocks, he moved one of the rocks. Later, when the weed was seen to be flourishing, he covered it with the remaining rock. 'That was its fate,' he explained." --From The Commentaries Of M'Uad Dib (DUNE, Frank Herbert).

Along with my responses I put together a little mix of just what I've been listening to of late, callled A Bandit of Time. It doesn't have Time Bandits on it though. Just a heads up.

Borde 2 Def



How cool is it that this cat Olivier Borde just has a dot-blogspot for his site? With mentions from T Style, Fantastic Man and more, I guess this guy is kind of like the new Kim Jones, but French, and less ravey.
