A House With A Hole In It

bernal heights, san franicsco

i came upon this house a few months back and it's an interesting idea in terms of bringing more sunlight into the top tier of the house, but will it stand the test of time? the lower northern part of bernal heights has some interesting homes from some adventurous people. some look odd stuck in between victorians, but they seem to have some forward ideas, at least from the outside. i'd like to build a circular house. well, a house where the outside form is a circle. no square or rectangular base structure. somewhat like frank lloyd wright's guggenheim in new york. it would be 2 floors. think of a barbell. the two floors would be separated by a tubular elevator and the top and bottom floor would have glass wrapping around the entire outside structure. practicality has no place in my dream.

now, to the songs that will help you dream,

Radiohead - Worrywort - a b-side from the knives out single. maybe a little bit to straight forward for where radiohead was at the time, but such a great song with a warm melody.

Fridge - Ark (Herbert's Fully Flooded Mix) - now that the supergroup, where two thirds of the members are adem and four tet, have reunited for an album, here is a lookback to what we can expect.

Badun - Fyrtarn - i don't know much about badun. this track was taken off of the new wire tapper compilation and it has the twisted beats with the jazz infused base that makes it so interesting. need to do some more exploring on this one.

False - Fed On Youth - this matthew dear track is part of the new best-of compilation, 'nothing much' from richie hawtin's minus label and it proves again why dear makes his best music off of this alias. there's no denying that his varied musical talents lends itself to having so many different monikers (audion, jabberjaw, false), but with all of the attention to his current matthew dear proper release, 'asa breed', a vocal pop techy offering, this track which i think hasn't been released 'officially' yet, will probably get lost in the mix. hopefully not. because it is probably one of the best techno tracks i've heard in a long time. it has that grooved sub bass and layered kicks to make your organs clean themselves. warning: this track may damage your speakers, or cause you to go out and buy speakers that can handle the low frequencies.
