halfway between the gutter and the stars

finally, the cobrasnake is getting the attention he deserves - and it's in wired! alls i know is that i love my bright pink puffy paint cobrasnake tshirt that i got a couple weeks ago, but every time i wear it i end up having a debaucherous night and its accompanying hangover.

on an entirely different note, i'm really feeling the new amadou & mariam album, dimanche a bimako. check out the stream here. i have to say that i'm surprised, as i find most of nonesuch records' catalog insufferable. laurie anderson aside, of course.








it is somewhat shameful to post a link to an NYT sunday styles article...but here i go...i'm a gigantic fan of alexandre plokhov's cloak line of clothing, and i think there's something elegant about him being featured not for his uniquely wearable gothic-military pieces, but rather for his choice in espresso machines.
