“Notes from the Air: Selected Later Poems”, John Ashbery, 364 pages (2007) – This anthology of Ashbery poems, selected by the author from ten different volumes published between 1987 and 2005, is one of the toughest and most rewarding books I have ever encountered. #johnashbery #notesfromtheair

“Death in Venice and Other Tales”, Thomas Mann, 366 pages (1998) – Twelve stories are laid out in chronological order. You are led from his early to more mature work and you can see how his previous explorations of mortality, humiliation, aesthetics, and irony converge in “…Venice”. #thomasmann

“Last Summer”, Catherine Breillat, 104 minutes (2023) – A great takedown of heteronormative family values. Everything solid is built on lies. Viewed on @criterionchannel #catherinebreillat #lastsummer

“Desperate Living”, John Waters, 90 minutes (1977) – This film is both better and worse than I remembered. The Dreamlander-era films without Divine make you realize how much of a powerhouse she was. For sheer gross out and disgusting images however, this film excels. #johnwaters #desperateliving

“The Exterminating Angel”, Luis Buñuel, 95 minutes (1962) – I saw this a couple times over the years, but I actually rewatched it twice this weekend. This political allegory is dense with commentary, but the thing that got me hooked and reviewing was Buñuel’s use of repetition. #exterminatingangel

“Rize”, David LaChappelle, 84 minutes (2005) – Why am I watching a documentary about clowning and krumping in Los Angeles? A collaborator suggested I watch this as part of research for a new project. The history and the dancing are fascinating, but the film itself is a bit too long.

“Transformer”, Lou Reed (1972) — It was well beyond my usual price point but I could not resist it. I don’t know why anyone would sell this album unless they died, and some family member unwittingly sold off their collection. It’s a 2012 pressing and it sounds amazing! #loureed #transformer

“Soul Mining”, The The (1983) — So it turns out a record can be too scratched to be enjoyable. I picked this up for $3. I might have to resell it, but it came with a cool lyrics sheet insert. Matt Johnson’s words capture that place between adolescence and adulthood. #thethe #soulmining #mattjohnson

“Parallel Lines”, Blondie (1978) — Parallel loins? I love buying used records and finding things like this inside them. They are signs of devotion. I prefer used records to new ones. Scratches and other signs of wear and tear are traces of attention. #ParallelLines #Blondie.

“Lucia”, Humberto Solás, 160 minutes (1968) – Traces episodes in the lives of three Cuban women, each named Lucía, from three different historical periods: the Cuban war of independence (with Spain), the 1930s, and the 1960s. Special bonus: the amazing film poster by Raúl Martínez. #humbertosolas

“The Grain of the Voice”, Roland Barthes, 368 pages (1985) – I bought a used hard cover copy of this book last summer, only to realize I already had a soft cover copy at home. I fetishize these old Hill & Wang editions. They are so much better than the ugly, crappy paper editions they sell now.
