Edward Gorey and Frank O’Hara were roommates at Harvard.

Soon he and his roommate, the artist Edward Gorey, established their rooms as the spot to “lie down on a chaise longue, get mellow with a few drinks, and listen to Marlene Dietrich records.”

If that’s not the gay utopia, I don’t know what is.

A great overview of Gainsbourg’s key psych jams and funk productions, this collection draws on everything from soundtrack work (including excerpts from Cannabis, La Pacha and Manon 70) to the seminal Histoire De Melody Nelson. You could see this as a themed greatest hits package. Michel Colombier features pretty heavily on this collection, and he shows up on the opener, ‘Requiem Pour Un Con’, which has a rhythm track comparable to something by Can, produced with an awesome, driving echo chamber drum sound. The provision of ‘bonus beats’-style tracks for certain songs is a real gift to all you sample hounds and DJs, and that’s certainly the case for this cut. This wouldn’t be Gainsbourg without the orchestral elements though, and there’s plenty of that on this disc, including a few Jean-Claude Vannier-assisted pieces, most notably the closing ‘En Melody’, a whirl of crunching guitar, heavy funk drumming and experimental tape techniques. Great collection.

When Michelle Obama talks about “the world as it should be,” the Unconventional Women think: a female candidate. Sure, it’s great that women have some stage time at the convention, but they won’t consider it real progress until the show is all about one of us. Not only is the Democratic nominee a man, the convention is clearly run by them or “we wouldn’t plan political events in the busiest two weeks of every mother’s life,” former Massachusetts liberal Republican governor Jane Swift declared Monday, bemoaning the convention’s back-to-school start.

I was deciding whether to buy Journals, and I came across this:

Eels frontman Mark Oliver Everett was asked to contribute to the book with a comment on Cobain and apparently replied back: “Please don’t do this to me after I kill myself”. It was not used.
