I stumbled on this article last week about an ex-banker that has turned the current economic downturn into an opportunity to leave behind his past work and focus on what was formerly just a hobby, building aluminum guitars. It's a cool story and aside from these geeetars looking pretty rad some of our favorite rockers seem to have taken a liking to them as well (yim yames???). Have a read at the Oregonian.
Cat Power cooks? I guess she does. I'm not sure it makes for the most compelling viewing, but I thought I'd let you guys decide. Check out past RHOTW Cat Power making some sweet potato somethings.
This is a pretty cool project that Logan Walters has undertaken. He has set out to redesign Wu-Tang Clan album covers as if they had been put out on Blue Note Records. Some interesting work. Have a look at the Wu-Tang Design Remix.
Happy reading and have a good week. -JL
