dOCUMENTA (13)’s 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts // Alejandro Jodorowsky
"The contents being a reproduction of a notebook that, despite the impeccably lettered cover, has nothing to do with the aborted Dune film project. Instead its pages are full of Jodorowsky’s obsession with the Tarot de Marseille. This obsession lasted decades and may offer you at least a partial answer to the question “what has he been doing for the last 30 years?”. In fact Jodorowsky maintained an interest in this centuries old Tarot deck, finally releasing an edition based on his research in 1998 with Philippe Camion."

I love that this even exists.  Funny as all hell.  Even funnier, to me, is that I really like the design.  Available from Inquisition.

I just upgraded the hosting plan for my SPEKTRMODULE podcast, which will allow me to bring the frequency closer to weekly. 

(The new hosting plan also gives me the option of designing standalone Android and iOS apps for the podcast, but I really don’t have that kind of time, and I really don’t want to charge people yet for that kind of access, which the system seems to want me to do.)

The great joy of SPEKTRMODULE, for me, is locating new music, and rooting through my digital collection, to find things I like that go well together.  It’s me little hobby.

But, since I want to increase the frequency, I’m going to do this: if you make music that fits the general tone of SPEKTRMODULE, could you maybe send me a link at [email protected] ?  I do love to discover new stuff.

The SPEKTRMODULE podcasts all live here.  The most recent one has been listened to by some 25,000 people, which I frankly find baffling.

I love that Ego Assassin describe their heavy latex belt pocket as “just the right size to carry a phone, cigarettes, and a wallet.”  Jodi and James understand the essentials.  Retail is $40 at their site, but I don’t know if that’s USD or CAN (they’re based in Toronto).

Haunted, resonating piano sounds.  I like this as a sound to go to sleep with.  G’night.

In association with Diesel Sweeties Store, we made, for one week only, a new t-shirt.  Rich Stevens says of it:

If the internet was honest about itself, Baconcoin would be the new hotness in crypto currencies. Decode its delicious code if you dare.
