Left Bank is a great destination bookstore for art books, zines, and ephemera (it's actually one of my favorite stores in NYC, period). I just discovered these digital catalogs they've been sharing on their website and it sent me down a rabbit hole. the kate bush fanzines one is a favorite as is "shirt show."

Firstly, Printed Matter duh. I love it there, it truly is a hub of cultural phenomenons and information on everything and anything you can find in book-form. I also checked out Climax recently since they opened their East Village location. SOOOOO cute. very small, but amazing amazing selection. Dashwood is a classic. Miwa has my heart, shoutout her. Mast is cool but they give a little too pretentious for my liking. I still go in every time I pass it though. Karma is sick, has a really cool collection of Purple's first volumes and such. But I'm looking for more shops, lmk where I should gooooo!

Caught it at Metrograph last night. A true masterpiece about the nature of work and identity in Japan and beyond.
I left thinking “maybe Sisyphus did have a choice?”

I think about this line from virgil abloh's lecture at columbia's architecture school all the time, which is about the Yeezus album cover. a testament to how, when you put in enough hours, sometimes you create work that transcends your current capabilities - even if just by chance.
