The world at large and how to make it a better place. New voices from around the globe writing fiction, poetry and nonfiction. We are not interested in those lame companies using myspace profiles to advertise ring tones. You suck!
Anyone who loves books, cares about indie presses & do it yourself zines, and appreciates an old world style with a modern, politically informed and artistic sensibility.
A divergent group here. On any given day you might hear Charles Mingus or John Coltrane, Thom Yorke, Negativeland, Paula Frazer, Gris Gris, Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, The Jesus Lizard, & the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We are very much digging Honeycut now. And, AXOLOTL, always!
Just saw Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo Del Toro and Faye Grim (Hal Hartley's latest) and loved both.
I've heard people talking about Deadwood, the Sopranos, Prime Suspect. We adore The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Frontlines on PBS is great. Looking forward to the new Bill Moyers show on PBS, as well. We like to unwind while watching Law & Order and Sex & the City reruns.
We're loving Noam Chomsky's Interventions, which we just published! We post our recommended reads @ citylights.com
