Bob Mould on rock’n'roll
Quote
On endings.
The end of the story isn't always the most important. It might not even be part of the story at all, depending on how you choose to tell it. I'm sick of walking around with friends talking about ends--the ends of relationships, friendships, feelings, and hope. We all know how things end, and that's badly. But just because it came last, it need not overshadow everything else. If you lived it, it's all part of the story of your life.Aaron Cometbus

Generation X is still relevant
Douglas Coupland has been one of my favourite writers for the entirety of my “adult” life. I can safely say that I like all his books and I’ve re-read most of them. Until last year Generation X, his most popular work, was perhaps my least favourite one. Thankfully, I re-read it when I was writing [...]

Last Christmas
Last Christmas was the worst of my life. No kidding. Some of you might remember my blog break around this time last year. Exactly a year ago today my grandfather had a stroke that kept him in the hospital unable to move, swallow or articulate words properly for 20 days until he passed away. He [...]

Antonio López
A couple of months ago I spent a weekend in Madrid to see Antonio López’s exhibition at the Thyssen Museum. As you read this I am in Madrid seeing another exhibition by another amazing artist. But let’s focus on Antonio, shall we? Antonio López is a Spanish painter and sculptor who offers a hyperrealist take [...]

Teen pics and other film stuff If Diablo Cody makes a film version of Sweet Valley High I am going to be very happy (and I will also write a paper about 90s nostalgia, yes I will). Kristen Wiig: ‘My next movie – it’s going to be a Porky’s prequel’ (Hello academia, here I come!) I [...]

Things (I would like) to wear this season
One of the best things of the internet is being able to go window shopping without leaving the house. And with Christmas round the corner, I think now’s the right time to share some of the nice clothes I’ve been spying this season. I’ve had my eye on this Bimba & Lola coat. If [...]

Photography Thom and Kate went to Paris and I am really into Thom’s photos. I love these photos of travellers’ children taken in London Fields in 1987. I like Sandra’s photos of Berlin buildings. Soviet bus stops are pretty mental. Rhianne reviews the different types of film she uses on her blog. And she took [...]
