Culture Jolt:
Gems from Utne Reader’s Indie Culture 2004 issue (includes a CD!)
- Temporary Services: A Chicago-based artists collective that, among other supercool projects, secretly placed 100 art books on the shelves of the Chicago Public Library and gave them call numbers so they could be checked out.
- Storage Artspace: A non-profit art center and the locus of the rapidly growing newest artists neighborhood in New York, the South Bronx
- Princeton Architectural Press: Has nothing to do with Princeton Univeristy and only partially to do with architectural. Instead publishes beautiful books on design and material culture such as visual studies of lost pet posters and homes built from found materials.
- Oi-Va-Voi: Klezmer meets techno meets loungy jazz.
- Magic Carpet/Home: A giant magic carpet sculpture in a public park in the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles. You’re supposed to climb on it.
- A fantastic interview between Ani DiFranco and Bruce Cockburn.
