\u2022 I helped put together the design for the Pursuit Grooves album recently. FACT magazine interviewed Vanese Smith<\/a> about her work.<\/p>\n

\u2022 One of the books whose interiors I designed last year for Tachyon was The Secret History of Science Fiction<\/em>, a story collection edited by James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel. (And a book which I’ve yet to add to my web pages, I’m still behind with updates.) The LA Times<\/em> has a piece about the anthology here<\/a>, focusing on the Don DeLillo contribution, Human Moments in World War III<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 It’s been another week of Facebook hate; being a self-satisfied refusenik I can’t help but find this amusing. Too many good pieces to list but Gizmodo had more reasons why you should still quit Facebook<\/a>, Jason Calacanis gathered lots of links to other stories on his blog<\/a> while social media expert Danah Boyd got to the heart of the matter<\/a> with a very cogent polemic.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you want an alternative to Facebook, Diaspora<\/a> is “the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all distributed open source social network”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 David Toop has a new book out next month. “Sinister Resonance<\/em><\/a> begins with the premise that sound is a haunting, a ghost, a presence whose location is ambiguous and whose existence is transitory. The intangibility of sound is uncanny \u2013 a phenomenal presence in the head, at its point of source and all around. The close listener is like a medium who draws out substance from that which is not entirely there.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 Coilhouse looks at the late Decadent artist and designer Hans Henning Voigt<\/a> (1887\u20131969), better known as Alastair.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “After a sold out season at the Barbican in 2009 Michael Clark Company<\/a> returns with the next instalment of his critically acclaimed production made primarily to the music of David Bowie. come, been and gone<\/em><\/a> also embraces the work of Bowie’s key collaborators: Lou Reed , Iggy Pop , Brian Eno and touches on some of his influences; The Velvet Underground , Kraftwerk and Nina Simone……This production contains loud music and graphic images<\/em>.” I should hope so.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Why should boys always be boys, and girls always be girls?” Brutal\/Beautiful<\/a>, photography by Austin Green.<\/p>\n

\u2022 John Foxx, Iain Sinclair and others appear at Short Circuit 2010<\/a> next month.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Black, Brown, and Beige: Duke Ellington\u2019s music and race in America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jane Siberry<\/a> has made all her albums available as free downloads.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ruth Bayer photographs people after they’ve inhaled poppers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Swiss artist catalogues mutant insects around nuclear plants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pompeii’s X-rated art will titillate a new generation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Happy, Haunted Island of Poveglia, Venice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Art of American Book Covers<\/a>, a blog.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kanellos, the Greek protest dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
