No One Has Ever Linked Here

I'm still trying out new names for this daily links post. This one was suggest by head honcho Megan Garr. Tell us what you think.

So, onto today's links:

I lied about avoiding politics yesterday. This American Life: follow the money.

We're a bit design obsessed over here at Versal. How about a music-based font called Qalto. Cool curves bro.

Speaking of music, I'm re-exploring Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac at the moment, but in a 'how did they put it all together' research mission. I found this journal from Ed (sound maker and guitarist of the band) on the recording process of these two albums.

Artistic process oriented lins continued–here is a post from the Paris Review about Tantric Art.

Lastly, I'm currently watching Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. I'm impressed they gave it the red light. How was it renewed for a second season? The British are doing something right.

Till tomorrow.

Brain Cookies

Starting today, the kind folks at Versal are attempting to link to a few interesting articles about literature that are floating around the internet, as well as some links of intellectual interest.

Megan has suggested I come up with a name for the link series, but I am terribly slow with titles (being as important as they are) and will announce a title later this week. Here are a few links for today that I found interesting.

Kyle Minor suggests a few comic novels for your digestion. I have to admit, the only one I know is Erasure.

The always excellent Adam Curtis outlines the relationship between bodybuilding and imperialism. A must read.

The Los Angeles Review of Books reviews two new books about the marijuana trade. Seems those hippies are getting what they want after all.

The Washerman's Dog blog gives us a little history on the relation between Jazz and Islam. Baptists churches on the East Coast face Mecca? No way.

Finally, how about a topless Hemingway slideshow?
