The Soft, Soft Shakes

The front and back artwork of the newly released Autumn in Halifax record The Soft, Soft Shakes.
My favorite record of the moment. Folk music stretched across sonic architectural landscapes.
You can hear Sleepwalkers, Maramount and Mend & Color Your Horses at autumninhalifax.com
Go grab yourself a copy from Rochester, NY's own Carbon Records. If I were you I would also pick up the amazing Robert Frank & The Moon Short Story/EP - David Merulla's quiet, bloody, lovely short story soundtracked by Autumn In Halifax & The Leaves.

New Wave cinema and the OuLiPo literary movement have an odd symbiosis that has long fascinated me. Both groups have informed new ways of seeing and reading, and so the two French fathers and the two Italian Renegades all together at last.

Marcel Duchamp Sees in Three Dimensions, With One Eye Tied Behind His Back

Art work utilizing reclaimed materials of any kind owes a great deal to Marcel Duchamp’s Readymades and the entire DaDa movement.
