It is quite likely that my posts will be few in the next couple of weeks, as I'll be moving literally across the country to take a new job. So, I'll leave you with some diverse links and recommendations:
My new favorite blog.
A fantastic interview with the composer Ned Rorem. See his comments on Bob Dylan; great stuff.
A piece from Kinoeye on Kieslowski's early documentaries.
Two of the best albums I've purchased in the past year- Orchestra Makassy, Legends of East Africa (a long awaited re-issue), and Tinariwen's Amassakoul. Both are soulful and funky. If they don't move you, you're dead.
Ships from the ever-inventive Danielson is out, but listen to "Things Against Stuff", a beauty from 2004's Brother is to Son. Available on the same label, Dan Zimmerman's "Either/Or", from the album Great/Small.
Finally, old photos from the Reykjavik Museum of Photography (Ljosmyndasafnreykjavikur).
