Two lane blacktop
directed by monty helman with warren oats as the main character. basically anything helman’s done is worth a try, and that goes the same for warren oats, but put them together and it’s a sure fire. if you like tom waits, just watch warren oats films and you’ll see where tom picked up the character ideas. if you like vincent gallo films for that matter, just watch helman’s and you’ll see where his inspiration comes from. this is a lesser known film from the era and a gem indeed. i have the dvd and highly recommend it. by dd
even better hermes – special edition sugimoto
the recent collaboration between hermes and japanese artist hiroshi sugimoto has resulted in objects of light, objects of desire, and objects of nothing and anything. color and light have always been a muse for me, so i truly enjoy mr. sugimoto’s articulation of his work. please watch the vid here.
ps. dd should have gotten one of these for his personal anniversary, i would have loved to…it’s the thought, right? by kl

cello audio suite pre-amplifier
instead of being founded by an electrical wizard like most brands, cello was founded by a musician. the audio suite preamp above was always my favorite of the line, from the time i saw it decades ago when i could not afford one to now that i can afford one but it has become obsolete. even so, i still love to have one just to touch the volume controls. cello was a respected company; however, their preference and advocacy for equalizers was always against the purist notion of audio and that alone made them seem in “our” eyes less rigorous and purist as the rest. nonetheless, it’s still a beautiful piece of equipment inside and out. not an easy one to find but i found one here and here for 16K (the latter includes the amps). by dd

quote of the day
“the God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
