letters from morrissey.

Dear person,

So nice to know there's another soul out there, even if it is in Glasgow. Does being Scottish bother you? Manchester is a lovely place, if you happen to be a bedridden deaf mute. I'm unhappy, hope you're unhappy too.

In poverty,
Steven

in 1981 a guy named roberts mackie was pen-pals with a guy named steven patrick morrissey. sometime in the late '80s mr. mackie photocopied the letters into a fanzine called "words by morrissey", which he then made available to anyone for the cost of postage. they are currently and kindly reposted, with drawings, on this blog.

sunday soul.

this morning i started going through my music, figuring out what to sacrifice to my external drive in the name of more memory...instead i put together this 2 hour mix of all of the best soul songs i've got! it includes floorstompers from the meters, roosevelt jones, the contours, and the velvelettes and 42 others!! i hope that you enjoy it!

I've noticed the recent trend of dip dye fabrics moving from the runways (i.e. Bernard Willhelm SS08) to the streets. This chic woman pulls off this wonderful dress with some unexpected brown boots.
