ITEM of the WEEK: William E Jones - Heliogabalus
Artist William E. Jones delivers happiness to all Roman Historians, bibliophiles, and people who enjoy a visual experience with this well-expounded book describing the life and times of Heliogabalus. Featuring a varied arrangement of articles with classic sources like the Historia Augusta (a collection of late of Roman leaders) Heliogabalus blends historical texts with sensual 70's ads to bring the Emperor's scandalous social and sexual activity into a modern day context. What are those scandalous acts? They're hidden within the pages of this highly recommended, extremely unique account of one of the most salacious Roman Emperors.Want more?

Pressing Issues - Interview with Kingsboro and Medium Rare
Jordan Awan and Megan Plunkett of The Kingsboro Press and Milano Chow of Medium Rare (photo by Hannah Kahng)Hannah Kahng interviewed Megan Plunkett and Milano Chow (two of our favorite people) about post-college life and independent publishing in the "recession era." They talk about not making shitty compromises and extol the virtues of photocopies. I think you just have to have your own principles and stick by them, whatever they may be, even if that’s, “I want to make a lot of money.” - Milano ChowCHECK IT OUT.
Item of the Week: THE JOURNAL OF POPULAR NOISE
This week's item has been very popular, and infact it's so popular we're going to show them all to you. {module_product,34238,1030108}First off he newest, and most critically acclaimed issue is JPN's latest offering issue 13-15. It features none other than supreme rock/roller Andrew W.K., critical mega-brain Ian Svenonius and the maniacal comedy duo Walker & Cantrell. They're all delivering spoken word on this tiny edition of 100, which is sold out everywhere else so it would be in your best interest to snag it before you never ever have the chance again. {module_product,34238,1030080}For the budget conscious, you can get the same sounds sans the beautiful letterpress but adding more writing and photography in the JPN 13-15 zine version. {module_product,34238,453804}From Issue 4-6, our pick is the Portland's indelible Copy who serves up an electro inspired track that sounds just as nice on 45rpm as it does on 33rpm, you'd just have to dance a little slower at 33. Either way, Copy creates deceptively affecting songs, has an oversized ear for melody and a purist's discerning palette of sounds. {module_product,34238,453805}From issue 7-9, we love and can't stop listening to Na + Junko. They are an explosive, happy Japanese pop group. If we didn't know better, we'd say their creative process included a step where they wrap puppy dog smiles in sunshine and pump them through a mixer for a secret subliminal track. It feels like they're grinning at me through my stereo and I can't help but smile back. {module_product,34238,453874}What we've been affectionately calling the pink issue, JPN 10-12 showcases Climax Golden Twins, they're part band, part art project, and were discovered lurking under a desk in a laboratory during the early 1920s. When reconstituted in 1994, they perpetrated various audio artifacts on an unsuspecting world and their latest incantation, an ambient, guitariffic ripfest can be heard on JPN 10-12. to hear some of the aforementioned sounds please visit http://www.myspace.com/popularnoise
A Berlin Haus Project
Recently stumbled across an article via IHT where Scandinavian artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset take writer Catherin Schaer through their new home in the Neukölln district of Berlin. The home, which also doubles as the artists’ studio was once an abandoned water pump station. Within the article the partners confess that the renovations were treated more so as an art project than your typical rehab venture. The most interesting aspect of the water station turned art studio actually laid within the level of consideration put on balancing both public and personal areas. Ignar Dragset illustrates the effect by stating, “The combination of vast floor space and the small, quirky nooks means you can be very hidden here, or very exposed depending on your moods or needs.” This attention to a specific spatial concern would indeed seem very important to think about when designing a space that will seamlessly act as place to dwell, work, and show finished pieces.
