My del.icio.us links: 10th May to 2nd June
- Couch Cushion Architecture; A Critical Analysis – “Unrepresented and ignored for too long in the architectural industry, today’s post pays respect to the wonders of couch cushion architecture. We’ve rounded up a (mostly) admirable collection of projects, taken from a randomly conducted search on the internet.”
- Pat Metheny on Kenny G – But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis’s tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible.
- iPhone Deconstruction – Nice Graphic by Ben Millen
- Speaking of Free Speech – The Speakers Corner Trust has a good list of classic quotes about free speech.
- Labour leadership: Keeping it in the family – Why not Ed Miliband or Yvette Cooper for Labour leader, rather than their better known close relatives?
- Activate The Queen
- Interview // Mark Grimmer – You couldn’t ask for a more inspiring record than Jónsi’s. It’s been a bit like the reverse of creating a film soundtrack – making a visual soundtrack for his music. There’s not really a narrative to the record so it’s been more about picking out moods and tones and working out how to augment those on stage.
