Elvis Presley at 21
a great portrait of elvis presley by alfred wertheimer. crazy enough i’ve been listening to elvis these last few days. the man did have a incredible voice… the saddest part was his stint in hollywood where he reinvented what bad acting was all about and lost his southern kindness and defiant attitude to the bright lights. this picture shows a sadness that was well kept to himself. by dd
we cut corners: but not on this one
“As simple as it looks. The whole video is hand drawn frame by frame – markers on paper.”
the band we cut corners approached Kijek / Adamski to
“take on a time-consuming technique”
to execute this video we now see what time and research can produce! read more here in their interview with motionographer. by jr
patti smith – polaroids
i remember the first time i saw patti smith polaroids in paris at “la fondation cartier” and the book published along with it. that was so great and so poetic, i guess people are nowadays a little more into those not so tech-ish thing but at the time that felt fresh (even if polaroids are not so fresh per say, i know) so i was happy to see another selection of her pictures this week end in the ny times. so from top to bottom, left to right we have: Pope Benedict XV’s slippers / a replica of William Blake’s life mask / Virginia Woolf’s bed / Susan Sontag’s grave in Montparnasse Cemetery / Constantin Brancusi’s grave, also in Montparnasse / Robert Mapplethorpe’s slippers. more here. by pp.

this is no pulp fiction: meet british publisher, faber & faber’s new editor-at-large
faber & faber, home to 12 nobel laureates and six booker prize winners, faber & faber is now looking to bring a little cocker magic to its list after hiring jarvis cocker as its new editor-at-large. “jarvis felt like a natural fit with the faber sensibility, both as author and editor, and i’m sure the small list of books he will develop will represent his eccentric and yet popular touch,” said faber editor lee brackstone. sign me up! by dd+ar
wagon wheel – old crow medicine show
my favorite song this week. the actual ‘official video’ for the produced version of this song is absolutely horrendous, it almost ruined it for me, so i figured i’d spare all y’all and give you the only other version i could find online. not much better, but at least they’re not perfectly styled pioneer hipsters, and it’s a great song. by kl
