Dash Snow & Jade Berreau by Ryan McGinley
This is a little response to Fool’s link to John Steinbeck’s letter to his son Thom on love. Some excerpts.
“There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you—of...

Wye Oak - Strangers (orig. The Kinks)
One of the best shows I’ve ever been to, one of my favorite songs from the show, the guitar solo somehow made my now-healing burnt arm hurt.
All the things I own I will share with you,

Strangers on this road we are all,
But we are not two we are one.
January is the cruelest month...

Gauntlet Hair “Keep Time” by DOJAGSC
Hah! Who has to wait for tomorrow! Here’s that more ‘out there’ song I was talking about. I think a Gauntlet Hair show would be one of the most fun things I could do. It’s on the list. Yelps and echoes, deliciously textured, indefinable emotionally; feels like being pulled towards something, but it’s behind...

Ghalib ghazal
Many, many thanks to Justin Turkus for his beautiful work on my arm—we had a great time and it looks rad.
It reads, in a more flowery and dramatic translation of which there are many “These are the binding threads of the scattered sheaves of the world.”
The full poem was translated by a friend as,

It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return. Saudade has been described as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and...
