Discogs, this is all kinds of wrong... though the album by The Chameleons is one of the awesomest. I cannot find a way in to The Fall, but I must say: 3 songs in and this is a great hooked in... as « Script of the Bridge » was. (I wait to see if this is heretical take...)

search on Discogs.com for The Fall's new album called « Post Script », but all that is suggested is The Chameleons' « Script of the Bridge »

— they are saying, but they are not computing! how's the "new" The Fall? I am not a fan and I try to make it sink in, but "30 (seconds over tokyo, but its a question of) Degree" sounds all kinds of awesome.

branding problem it is. that many fonts have no difference between lowercase L and upper case “i” is a cry for help of 🎶don’t call me Al 🎶 so Si is great, kudos to the dude, but it needs an accent, to change it from meaning “if” to “yes”. “Claro, ¡que Sí!”

— I didn't know of their connection. truly, the "softness" (laudatory, and most vague of a term) is the only thing I could think of Frank... but many others come to mind. if he controls or personally makes his prints then more to impress. being so far from Daido Moriyama is most welcomed.

I put these more at Avedon, but way less “caged” than the white background used by Avedon. consequently, it has Frank’s softer side. seems like a book worth getting.

this is just amazeball... but then again, I was never deep into the idiomatic/euphemisms in the American press (and recently the UK, from what I gather). I take it that the actual quote had something like "tired of politics from Biden, but I will still fight for you MAGA-CACA" 2 days for this?

— I love the concept there too, of course: impermanence and appreciation for imperfections. as with Ozu movies, the Japanese were not keen on exporting such things back then (though OK with Kurozawa). I can see that perhaps it is true: we cannot see it the same way, and never will.

— exactly. total respect, and curiosity for the evolution of, and dedication to, such a craft. I can see myself owning it, maybe not the Urushi one at $500, but yet... priorities will not get me there. the topic will return in the not too distant future. well, I think.

maybe for an audience of one [ @gregfallis.com ]… in the morning, I wrote (abstrusely, obvs)... maybe a lament recalling « In Praise of Shadows », but with a multicultural slant experience. wattevs. at night, I stumble upon this video, and thought it was related: a comment exactly made my point.

one, and there are many, puking-tics of L'internets is the 'now do ____', which usually has a sliver of overlap in a Venn Diagram. yet, I think this 'now do Edgware' should get a plaque somewhere... and, are you surprised, also win the internet.

BREAKING: this checks out. while I lived in SF 7x that of the 5 years in Massachusetts, the latter was at the youngest age range of the time in the USA. I never did "pahk my cah by the bah while in Wustah", but OMG!1!! I am, all, like, fershure… OMG!1!! also not saying "Delores" nor "San Rafel".

cities that are most like me... Boston and San Francisco (where I lived). and the least likely of Dallas and the south east of the USA.
then words that "gave it away" about Massachusetts.

— just based on your use and fervour, I would welcome to grab this camera as it goes a bit longer. (70mm would be about the ideal one for me, but that would not be pocket-type.) I have no idea on the specs, but not sure I remember how to process camera specs these days.

as it was written in the original « Jaws » : ‘we are going to need a bigger table.‘* organising books/media/notebooks becomes very time consuming when there’s space. *the original script took place at a paper store, but then it got changed to the sea… hence the use of “boat” instead of table.
