Chung Eun Mo

Cool feature on Chung Eun Mo in the latest Apartamento. Check out the net presence. I love this school mural.

Gamelan Son of Lion

Gamelan Son of Lion is a gamelan composers' collective based in New York, founded in 1976. Barbara Benary built most of these instruments herself out of steel keys, food cans and hubcaps (!) They did two Folkways LPs. First one is so good (haven't heard vol. 2). There's another Folkways gamelan LP called West Meets East that is also really good.

Flute a bec & percussions

Memories of last Thursday: lunch at Ferry building then hopped on bus for quick record shopping excursion, without baby, to Amoeba Records. Heaven. Looking for Benjamin Britten records and found a crap one but also came up with this...

Handcraft Face

While we were delayed at JFK we bought this at the Muji store. Comes with lots of stickers to put on the faces.

California

Sinjin's first trip to California. He did great on the plane and we all had a lot of fun seeing family and friends. I think he really liked the lifestyle out there, maybe too much. His little sun hat kept falling over his face. Sinjin met his little cousin Owen and his great-grandfather and namesake Jonathan, aged 100 (Sinjin is short for St. John). That was a really special moment. I'm looking at these photos and can already see how much he's grown since last week.
