“Fever Ray”

Karin Dreijer Andersson of Fever Ray and The Knife, photographed for Sasha Frere-Jones’s article in The New Yorker. (Amazing digital post work by Emeric Trahand — hire the guy while you can still afford him.)

This Immortal Coil, Red Queen
(The Dark Age of Love, 2009)

“Now you’ve absorbed it into your system, now that you’ve allowed it to be true, now that you’ve neutralised it, made it safe, made it yours, now that you’ve been photographed, recorded, what are you going to do? What are you going to do if they don’t believe you? What are you going to do?”

This Immortal Coil with The Third Eye Foundation’s Matt Elliott on vocals. More Coil.

David Sylvian, Random Acts of Senseless Violence
(Manafon, 2009)

“The targets hit will be non-specific: we’ll roll the numbers, play with chance, all suitable locations unplanned in advance, someone’s back kitchen stacked like a factory with improvised devices (there’s bound to be injuries with improvised devices), no phone-ins, no courtesy, no kindness. And it’s not just the boredom; it’s something endemic, it’s the fear of disorder stretched to its limits. The safety in numbers is just a contrivance, for the future will contain random acts of senseless violence.”

» Irving Penn, dead.

An ideal for living: kicking ass of photographers 70 years younger than himself until the end. Incidentally, calling Penn a “fashion photographer” is like calling Picasso a “cubist painter.”

“Irving Penn is 91 years old and he still kicks your ass.”
