No Wolf (the waygoing compromise)

I wrote a book.
It's called No Wolf (the waygoing compromise).
Yes, spelled like that, with "waygoing" as one word.
here is the website. here is the facebook fan page.

The book isn't published yet – I'm waiting to find an agent.
But I'm really excited because so far there's been a lot of positive criticism.

Even better, there's a pronominal fucking soundtrack by a-fucking-mazing Canadian musician August Hell!
I'm lucky.

This will all be available on the site later, but for now, please email me for a sample chapter, or to know more about the book or soundtrack.

Please check the site, and friend us on facebook.

Love
Richard

a friend sent me one of those videos to watch on my iPhone – the ones where the beauty contestant says something really stupid, and it's supposed to be really funny.
we're supposed to watch these videos and laugh with content that we're not as stupid as the beautiful girl that says stupid things.
anyway.
my phone got stuck - err- froze, then something beautiful happened.
halfway into a fade-in, I caught this.

headphones eater

My dad called a few days ago.
He told me a story about a baby that got ahold of the headphones from an "iPhone-Pod thing" (his words) and electrocuted himself.
Naturally, I told him that this was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard.
(I lied of course, because this is the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever heard)
He added that the baby that ate the headphones died, and that Orson and I had better be careful.

We took these photos to prove him wrong.

In case you're wondering, Orson is still alive.

Lilly McElroy project

Hey!
Why the long face?
The fan-ficking-tastic Lilly McElroy sent me this message.
I was flattered.
I had no idea she even knew who the fuck I was (am).

Dear Richard,
2009 was a difficult year for a lot of people. In response to the lost jobs, lost homes, major and minor tragedies, personal frustrations, heartbreak, etc., I am working on a project that called “ 2009 Was A Rough Year” and I am hoping that you would be willing to help me.

I would need you to:
Take a picture that represents the worst, most heartbreaking, or most frustrating moment you experienced in 2009.
E-mail it to me at lilly . mcelroy @ gmail . com
Include as much or as little additional information as you would like.

I’m planning on turning this into a slide show and making a website. If you want to remain anonymous you can.

Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested.

Thank you for your help.
Lilly McElroy

The reason I'm telling you this is because I love all of your brains, and love her brain too.
You should do it!
DO it!

love
Richard

p.s.
here are some LMcE images from her series "I throw myself at men" to get you in the mood.

I Throw Myself at Men

I am, at the moment, part projectile and part foolish romantic. These images are documents of a hopeful and violent gesture, a demand that the possibility of a connection exist. The men often look terrified or at least slightly surprised. My role as aggressor is clear and I think my leaps acknowledge the basic human desire for contact.

To date, there have been no major injuries.

Julia Galdo // S Magazine

S Magazine recently published a series of in-fucking-credible photos by in-fucking-credible photographer Julia Galdo.

The series is shot in she Santa Monica hills, and accentuates old and young in a quiet way.

awesome.

the Reverend Charlie Jackson

I discovered this album, and I couldn't hold my peace.
I'm wrapped up, tangled up in Charlie Jackson.
Songs about Jesus usually make me feel ill, but Charlie's got it!

If you watch the video and don't agree, I swear to fuck I'll buy you a beer.

Paris Peasant

Hey Euro Friends.
I'm here in the snow.
I'll be in Paris (in the 16th) until the 23rd.

Let's do business.
I would love to see you.

Live at Leeds

I've been wearing out the grooves on my Live at Leeds album.

Here's the opening track

Zurich Dare

Olympique de Marseille plays FC Zurich tomorrow.
If Marseille wins, I'll thank the universe by donating 30min of my time (per goal!) to anyone that has a good use for it!

news

Hi.
I feel like I haven't been communicating with you on a human level in a while.
Team St.Ofle is actually in the hatch, hatching a plan.
no, really.
I am working on something big, but more on that later.

For now, I want to remind you how cool I am by telling you about a few cool things that you may have missed.

1) First is this site. randomizer.org. You give it a list & this site mixes it up for you.
2) T-Rex Holy fuck! Why didn't anyone tell me about them before? It's your fault I'm only discovering them now.
3) butdoesitfloat.com. Ok. This site is hit & miss, but when it hits, it really hits.
4) Mélissa Theuriau
5) Akira Kurosawa (especially his film "dreams")
6) Keith Hudson. Only the best musician to come out of Jamaica in the 1970s. I mean that.
7) Rye
8) polapremium.com. I can't recommend these people enough. They're fighting the good fight against a world without Polaroid.
9) MSNBC's Rachel Maddow
10) and this;

I still love you,
Richard

Eva Citizen K

Normally I don't give a fuck about Eva Longoria (AKA Mrs. Tony Parker) but look at her on the cover of French fashion mag, Citizen K!
Here's to the end of boring Redbook covers for boring people. In the year 2010, even boring people will look interesting.
good.
