“Pretend You Love Me” by Sonny and the Sunsets // Longtime Companion (2012)

I’m a sucker for a well used pedal-steel. Something about that dreamy, yearning sound always grabs my attention, especially when used in a song that’s not explicitly “country”. “Pretend You Love Me” surely falls into the category of “alt-country”, and that’s just fine, but the reason you’re seeing it posted here, surrounded by all of this dream pop, lo-fi, and shoegaze, is almost completely because of that dreamy pedal-steel. It takes a sweet, mid-tempo ballad and gives it a captivating depth. Of course, the rest of the song is great as well, I just find myself locked onto that one thing and it takes a moment to step back and realize that the whole picture is as beautiful as that one spot. Definitely worth checking out if you’re fans of Wilco, Son Volt, or Ryan Adams (in country mode).

(S)Edition Installation by Melissa Jay Craig 

Limited bookwork edition of 99 copies.

Some people have uneasy, squeamish thoughts when they look at fungus: it’s something surreptitious, uncontrollable; it lives hidden underground in familiar locales, ready to spring to life unexpectedly, and it often manifests itself as part of the demise of another organism. Fungus is an agent of change. I’m fascinated with its myriad forms, and I love to go in search of it.”

They said a king once ruled the forest by Lizzie Thomas

“These pieces are inspired from researching the meaning of “the forest” and “the woodcutter” in fairytales. The forest in a fairytale is unique to each of us; we create it. I am currently writing my own tale about a woodsman that crafts his own forest from wood. Using traditional carpenters folding rulers I have created pieces that illustrate his efforts The pocket size rules spring up to create a shadowy forest that moves.”
