you may have noticed that it’s the beginning of the month and there is still no new music mix. i’ve decided to put them on the back burner for a little while. mostly because i’ve had no real inspiration for a new one lately and don’t want to just pull something out of thin air, but also because i am feeling kind of conflicted about sharing them to be honest*. i don’t know if this is the end of the music mixes… it probably isn’t because i enjoy making the cover art way too much and i also love sharing good music with everyone. you can still download all the old ones if you haven’t already.
ANYWAY – here’s a these things which might take the sting out of that piece of news.
i finally got my hands on the latest The Gentlewoman and it is so, so good. honestly the best magazine i have seen in a while. i particularly LOVED the editorial about dancing – couldn’t take my eyes off it. the piece about sarah of colette was a really interesting read, too. ah man… can’t pick a favourite. just go out and get it if you haven’t already.
have you guys been watching game of thrones? seriously… watch game of thrones. peter dinklage is my favourite.
i went fantasy home shopping in what i like to call the black hole of Bukowski’s auction house. it’s pretty tough for me to exit said black hole after i go down it. holy man, it is fun though.

these infrared photographs of eastern congo by richard mosse made my jaw drop – via les yeux sans visage
very much in favour of this big wooden wall in this rad apartment in brooklyn. i don’t know why people paint over wood or want to cover it up, especially in houses from the seventies. more wood, i say!
speaking of wood, can’t believe these clogs haven’t been snapped up yet. lauren finds the best things.

i’ve been thinking about my room / house / living area a lot lately. i’d love a dark corner like this.
here’s a really nice collection of classic hollywood photos – many of which i hadn’t seen before (thanks katie)
oh to be here right now
* a reader asked me recently whether the music mixes were “legal” (…..) ← that’s the sound of me mulling that question over. i’d like to think that sharing musics from amazing artists would encourage people to go out, buy their albums, see their shows and wear their t-shirts. but that question still has me mulling, though.
