’’Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.’’

Garden State - Rick Moody is a fun little book about toke, poke, coke and a little bit of rock&roll. one can finish the damn thing on an X10 loop from marina-club to saddar.

i am listening to that song right now. their other incarnation is more upbeat and electronic. never go wrong, if played at parties.



Pynchon is good. What did you read? I suggest his north-cali, regan-timing, hippie allegory Vineland to start with. The language doesn’t puncture itself every so-often like it does in his other books. Cryi ng of Lot 49 is great too... again happening mostly on cali-freeways but that book has more ideas and experiments packed into one than I ever came across.
Then comes Gravity’ Rainbow but we dun have to talk about it right now...

(Faulkner is utterly, completely, mindfuckingly readable, Light In August is his good first book: simple narrative, no games)

Speaking of Faulkner, I’m afraid his stuff will go over my head like some of pynchon’s stuff

Musically I’m obsessed with Isis and Brian Eno these days

there is a Faulkner reference buried there in the second part’s chorus line but is vague or maybe I am making a big deal out of it. I am beginning to like this guy.

’’He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed - love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands.’’
- William Faulkner

Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Feel the Illinoise! – 1. The World’s Columbian Exposition 2. Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream

the second part’s melody is making a reference to a the-cure song, plus it is darkly biblical. (devil shows up). this guy, i never get him.

i am only aware of him showing up on the soundtracks of sofia coppolla’s films. he remixed an old tune for marie anotoinette’s soundtrack and here is city girl from lost in translation. never heard anything else by him.


(by the way, the first few over-the-bridge, looking out the widnow shots in the video are direct quotations from a kar-wai film. kar-wai shot taipei in his film. this, i believe, is tokyo)
