| Hey y'all,
This week was a reminder that in Texas it is September that's the cruelest month. Here are 10 things I thought were worth sharing: - RIP producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. I wrote about the way he interacted with his machines. I love so much of his music, but if I had to recommend one album, it would be Heart of the Congos.
- "The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer."
- Cheryl Strayed and Alison Bechdel in conversation. (After reading that interview, I wrote about drawing as an embodied transmission.)
- New books: my friend Alan Jacobs' Breaking Bread With The Dead is coming out in paperback, and the 33 1/3 series announced their new lineup.
- Poem: "Monday."
- Pencil: I love the thick stroke of these Prismacolor Ebony Graphites.
- Documentary: I can't wait for Todd Haynes' film about The Velvet Underground.
- TV: We gobbled up Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy on HBO Max. (And invented a drinking game for it.) I particularly liked the Florence episode.
- I've been taking solo walks without my crew, which I sort of hate, but I do gawk around and notice more.
- Remember: Validation is for parking.
Thanks for reading. This newsletter is free, but not cheap. You can help it keep going: forward it to someone who'd like it, read my books, shop for some of my favorite gear (I get a cut), buy a t-shirt, or hire me to speak.
If you're seeing this newsletter for the first time, you can read previous issues and subscribe here.
xoxo,
