things
i like
: photography,
records, old family photographs, the fall (not the season),pancakes(just recently
I've been eating a lot of them),barthes's camera lucida, vintage paper
dolls, reading (I work at the best bookstore in town, The
Bull's Head Bookshop),overpriced fashion and products, hats from the 1920s,
sushi, I.D magazine (the u.k magazine, not the u.s one), sara gunning, pizza
(boring, but true), and law & order (the best television show to ever be!).
Also, I'm a fan of these web sites:
For
the past four years I've had the privilege of working at the best college radio
station around. You can listen to us online and we play everything from ethiopian
music from the 70s to richard hell. My show is every other tuesday from 7-9pm.
There is a small and glorious publishing group which produces unusual and often beautiful literary magazines called Timothy McSweeneys Quarterly Concern. It is also responsible for the likes of some odd and great books such as Lemon by Lawrence Krauser. Some of the stories on this site are hilarious if you are into contemporary and odd literature.
This
is a quaint, amazing gallery in carrboro (a town next to chapel hill) that exhibits
mostly photographers. I love this place and I wish more people would visit it.
Their web site is great because you can view all exhibits, current and past.
They have shown the likes of collier schorr, brian eno, cathie opie, richard
prince and tammy rae carland (her exhibit is now)....just to name a few brilliant
people.
I
like records quite a bit and this is a good site for shopping. It's a reliable
source for locating that rare import or obscure 1979 lp from the uk- or whatever
your fancy (I can be a little nerdy, but that's okay).
Maybe
it is because I was born in Singapore and lived in Korea for a couple of years
that I'm so addicted to Asian candy and food. This site offers an endless choice
of sweets. I know a lot of people who like Pocky, but I've never been a fan.
Green tea ice cream and bean curd sweets are a different story though....yum....
