In Memory by Caitlin Hackett<\/a> who describes her astonishing drawings as “contemporary mythology”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 David Lynch’s solo album, Crazy Clown Time<\/em> has just been released so The Guardian<\/em> last Friday let the artist\/director\/musician edit their G2 supplement. Xan Brooks<\/a> tried to get Lynch to open up about his inspirations while elsewhere Lynch had a chat<\/a> with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons. Of more interest to me was news that some of the deleted sequences from Blue Velvet<\/em><\/a> have been discovered. I’ve known about these for years from a feature in Video Watchdog<\/em> magazine but never thought we might get to see them.

\u2022 “Book jackets these days, for reasons I won\u2019t unpack, seem to revel, overtly, in wit, conceptual deviousness, unusual clever or droll juxtapositions \u2013 we, as a professional community, seem to have elevated the visual bon mot<\/em> above all other virtues.” Peter Mendelsund<\/a> in a great post about certain problems in book design, starting with the very problematic question of what to do with Nabokov’s Lolita<\/em>.

\u2022 “For his sins Pinocchio is not only hanged but robbed, kidnapped, stabbed, whipped, starved, jailed, punched in the head, and has his legs burned off.” Nathaniel Rich<\/a> goes back to\u00a0Carlo Collodi’s original Pinocchio<\/em>. Disney it ain’t.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Technical Vocabularies \u2013 Games for May<\/em><\/a>, a small collection of poems by Alan Moore & Steve Moore, is now online with authorial permission. Alan’s Beardsley pastiche on the cover is a bonus.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cabaret Voltaire’s Richard H. Kirk<\/a> says the group’s Virgin albums will be reissued next year by Mute. A new edition of The Crackdown<\/em>? Yes, please.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Homo Riot<\/a> can only think of six or seven street artists in the world who regularly feature gay themes in their work, and he knows all of them.”<\/p>\n
