billboards that don't advertise anything
lolcats, modernism, architecture, urban spaces, typefaces and photographs. Amateur cultural facilitators and social condensers. Masculine signifiers. Politics, real or imagined. High thread counts, sketchy taquerÃas, seasonal produce, army green, redundant self-portraiture. Looking at your myspace page.
Is this the part where I'm supposed to name-drop celebrities who I have a crush on?

New(er) favorites: Jan Jelinek, Akufen, Four Tet, Spank Rock, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., Botch, Death from Above 1979, Soft Pink Truth, Clipse and pretty much everything produced by the Neptunes, Andrew Pekler, dubstep & grime, my friends' DJ mixxes
I "read" (i.e. look at the pictures) lots of design books, and I'm always checking out geeky news/politics blogs and such, but I can't remember the last proper book I read
we don't need another
