54 WORDS, MORE/LESS: “What I Have To Offer” (Eliot Rausch, Charlie Kaufman, #54wordmoreless)
“My favourite thing about the internet is that stuff like someone taking audio from a 2011 Charlie Kaufman lecture (and then setting it to beautifully shot imagery and a minimalist heartbeat backbeat) is something I'm able to just find and watch again & again, whenever I need a punch in the heart gut.”

FANDCAMP: Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing
“Kassi Valazza's voice is a red-hot nickel ball slowly working its way through a cube of ballistic gelatin. This LP is a gently wound path of close-cosmic-country with a B-side that actually defies gravity.

54 WORDS, MORE/LESS: “Can't Get You Out of My Head - An Emotional History of the Modern World” (ADAM CURTIS, #54WORDMORELESS)
“Adam Curtis attempts to make inconclusive sense of our non-sensical modern world with a hypnotizing documentary filled with haunting old footage, amazing soundtrack selections, and a ‘David Attenborough who has seen too much’ narration style. Hits different than your usual docuseries, and will leave you wondering about what you're supposed to think long after.”
