Sunday, July 5, 2015. One great set of photos to leaf through for fun is the impeccable collection of tea sets master: Clara Bows. The tea sets are really lovely, which is rare to see. I love a good tea, especially at a unique teahouse. Here is her blog. For more pictures. Most err on the side of poor colors, poor design, etc, but these cups are amazing. Here's an example photo of her's, one of my favorites- I really want this green-gold set, and quite a few others:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

CultureNav: A Guide to our PostModern Culture: December 2014
http://culturenav.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. For people who love M.I.A. but are dying for a new album, I would try first Sleigh Bells [like their song Crown on the Ground. And then some of Kanye West's pieces and the remixes/mashups. In general, mashups are a great source of songs for M.I.A.-style music lovers. Kanye in particular has many songs that naturally approach a type of mashup level in complexity and artistry. His piece Dark Fantasy. Is one, as is Blood on the Leaves. Which is really nice. The photo below show...

CultureNav: A Guide to our PostModern Culture: Songs
http://culturenav.blogspot.com/2015/06/songs.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. After resisting the band Animal Collective. Based on some reviews, I have to take back what I thought- they have an interesting, chaotic ambient sound. Try ' Visiting Friends. Or ' The Softest Voice. I love the idea of playing them on the sound system while driving cross country on a meandering trip. A lot of ambient music reminds me of the first Silent Hill. Video game. It had a great ambiguous, eerie backdrop of sound/noise. The tv show Hannibal's. If you have a request!

CultureNav: A Guide to our PostModern Culture: Ambient
http://culturenav.blogspot.com/2015/06/ambient.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. When you're in the mood for ambient/'noise' music, it's hard to find what you're looking for. There are recordings of jungles, bird calls, thunderstorms, rivers, waterfalls, fires crackling, etc, and more man made, white noise type music: the type that seems to have evolved from the noise edges of the Kid A album or Bjork's work. One great piece in the latter category is Of - Aerial Cisterns. They have a more soothing background/mostly instrumental piece in ' The Muons - Little Star.
