Crambe Repetita #107 - August 2, 2019
Welcome to a newsletter of recommendations from Todd L. Burns. In every email, I suggest some things that I find interesting. Maybe you will too…
Listen
A little Shellac-y, except clearly a group that also deeply loves techno. (They also did a Blawan cover!) Listening to this makes me tense in a really good way, because every element that gets introduced goes on just a teensy bit longer than you’d think before something else finally happens.
Read
One topic every day, explored in a little bit of depth, by one of two people. Both seem to have a strategic, creative agency background, so you’ll find a bit of a focus on travel, scientific studies and graphic design. It reads a bit like what would happen if you plotted the overlap in a Venn Diagram that included Vox and Monocle. (Thanks for the tip, SR!)
Watch
Only a few episodes deep in this one season blip, but it is a deeply weird show that surprises constantly. If you’re into female empowerment / revenge fantasies or simply want to see an extended psychotic break where the main character makes out with a tiger, this show is for you.
