Wool Socks


Hi guys,

I am on vacation. I am spending it in the house. These are pictures of my night tonight. I think I'll take a bath now because I need to wash my bangs. Hope this letter finds you happy and healthy.

      Yours truly, 
      Spot

Björk

      Here she is, the queen of Iceland! Björk Guðmundsdóttir! When the days are so dark and short up here on the island I start eating lots of gjetost and lighting candles all the time.
      Björk's 1992 MTV Cribs house-tour of her Icelandic nest is awesome. She has this enormous and beautifully modern chandelier with blue taper candles in her living-room. As she lights the candles for the camera she chirrps and trills:
"I think this big room definitely needs a center-point, you know? And a light in the middle... I think chandelier is a heart of every home and in the winter its, like, dark - It's dark almost twenty hours a day. It's quite amazing how these candles can - they actually [light] up the whole flat and in a nice kind of way."
       I love how her possessions have been curated.  Everything is special!

Little Trouble Girl

      Director Mark Romanek's video for Sonic Youth's "Little Trouble Girl" is so beautiful. The combination of 90's colors and 70's Los Angeles topped by the feeling that you're watching the entire thing with your face pressed up to a surveillance TV screen is so perfect. Kim Gordon and Kim Deal (The Pixies, The Breeders) are such languorous beauties!  Their voices and stares remind me so much of the listless teenage musings of the Shangri-Las (1, 2, 3).



      Once, right around the time that we started playing Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, my brother and I spent an afternoon aimlessly searching a large abandoned cooperate office building for ammunition, red and green herbs, and infected zombies. Groping around the doorways of windowless offices searching for a light switch was just about the creepiest thing ever... but sometimes, a few bars of eerie wavering fluorescent light would flicker on and my desolation would blossom into the weirdest most indescribable feeling of awe.
      As I walked around kicking white ceiling tiles and tripping on tangled telephone wires, I thought about how impractical Jill Valentine's outfit was and wondered what the office was like when people still worked there.
