"Deedee! What are you doing in my lah-boar-ah-tory?!"
A unique cover each by Ware, Dan Clowes, Ivan Brunetti, and Adrian Tomine. Supposedly there's a secret message hidden amongst them as well.
A book dealer’s observations on the pricing insanity that follows a celebrated author’s death.
"Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell."
Giant Robot Magazine Needs Help.
Easily my favorite magazine for the last 10 years or so.
Good video overview of James Marks’ newest venture: SPUR studios.
Like a mini Russel Industrial Center for the Ypsi / Arbor area. These are exactly the kinds of things Michigan needs.
Why now? Did Salinger's passing shake him up? Regardless, I bet Nevin Martell is pissed.
Fiona Apple and Jon Brion cover Billie Holiday as a part of a Haiti benefit at Largo.
I would buy an album of recordings like this.
90’s surf rock giants Man… or astroman? to reunite.
Key: Original lineup, which I only got to see once, at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit. "It was not atypical for Man or Astro-Man? to arrive at a club, set up for 5 hours, play a show as hard as you possibly could, break down for 3 hours and talk to everyone until the last kid left, drive to the next city overnight, wake up at 10:00 AM and do some fanzine interview, play on the local college radio station shortly after lunch, then do an in-store thing at 4, go to the club and set up, then (if the club was over 21) do a short 20 minute full stage show for underage kids when the clubs would be closed during our soundcheck, and then finally play our full show again and repeat the process the next day. We thought that was what every band did."
Design for chess pieces in which their top-down view serves as a diagram for legal moves.
I love this idea, but I'm not particularly informed on the comings and goings of the chess world, so I have no idea if this is something that's been done before. I think the king and pawn designs could use a little tinkering… this would be a great assignment to put in front of industrial design students.
