Loads of heavy hitters in this edition of JFTT. We've got the Fabs, 'Trane, the Band, poetry corner, and kicking us off this week - Henry David Thoreau.
Let's get this arty party started!!
Austin Kleon has a nice piece in his blog about Thoreau (and I want to tell him to read Walden: Life in the Woods!). He also explains why he put stickies over the eyes.
2 The Biblio-Mat
Ingenious device and a great idea to dispense old books to a good home. Love it!
3 The Beatles by The Beatles
This album is always in my top 5 of all time (usually sits at number 2 behind John Lennon/The Plastic Ono Band). There have been reams written about the album but this was a nice podcast style interview with Giles Martin that you might like.
4 The Band's It Makes No Difference
Excellent piece from The Immortal Jukebox on The Band and that song.
5 Poetry corner
We asked the captain what course
of action he proposed to take toward
a beast so large, terrifying, and
unpredictable. He hesitated to
answer, and then said judiciously:
"I think I shall praise it."
Robert Hass (1979)
Overtime The church of John Coltrane
