Viviane Sassen (Amsterdam, 1972) was awarded the Prix de Rome in 2007 and the ICP Infinity Award for Applied and Fashion Photography in 2011.

Here's a Spotify playlist of some of the best gated reverb songs: http://spoti.fi/2vH7ZZL

 

Over the past few years a general nostalgia for the 1980s has infiltrated music, film, and television. I deeply love those gated reverb drums of the '80s - you know that punchy percussive sound popularized by Phil Collins and Prince? So for my second episode of Vox Pop’s Earworm I spoke with two Berklee College of Music professors, Susan Rogers and Prince Charles Alexander, to figure out just how that...

Two Poems by Traci Brimhall

Dear Thanatos,

I am three thoughts away from the grave,
two steps away from the open door,
one kiss away from the bridge.

 

Dear volcano, where are you?

 

Dear battleship, your war planes
sit on the bottom of the sea,
eels coiled in the cockpits.

 

Dear moon, you were an accident.

 

Dear second heartbeat I’m relieved
you left my body before I could choose.

 

Dear ghost, leave my attic, crawl
down the drainpipe to the ditch,
to the tunnels beneath the city.

 

Haunt the rats. Sleep in their bones.

tonite

LCD Soundsystem's new album 'american dream' featuring "call the police" and "tonite" will be released on September 1.

Everybody's singing the same song
It goes "tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight"
I never realized these artists thought so much about dying

 

But truth be told we all have the same end
Could make you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
But I'm telling you
This is the best news you're getting all week

 

Oh sure it's ruling...

Dylan Thomas - I see the boys of summer

I

 

I see the boys of summer in their ruin
Lay the gold tithings barren,
Setting no store by harvest, freeze the soils;
There in their heat the winter floods
Of frozen loves they fetch their girls,
And drown the cargoed apples in their tides.

 

These boys of light are curdlers in their folly,
Sour the boiling honey;
The jacks of frost they finger in the hives;
There in the sun the frigid threads
Of doubt and dark they feed their nerves;
The signal moon is zero in their voids.

 

I see the summer childre...
