note: Who makes the world run? Do we need a watchmaker to oil the gears and replace the rusted parts? What kind of shoes does the world wear? Does the early bird really get the worm? Are fungi and nematodes necessary? How about a wheelbarrow? It seems to be humming an odd tune. Maybe there is something caught in it. Is it dragging something behind? Call to it. Take it for a walk. Make a dance with a wire. Clear your throat. Is anyone home? Knock on the door and let yourself in. I apologize for the mess. The other people just left and didn’t pick up after themselves. We know who they are. Why pay people to tell us who made the mess when we already know. Lets just clean it up and get on with things.
Ciao Duchamp, thank you for sharing!
this is different, i like it
also, my antivirus says the link for the marc bell pictures links me to a trojan, is it really?
only if you download something could it link to a trojan, unless you are referring to the abstract idea of something existing in something else, then the answer would be ‘yes,’ because you have to follow other links to get to the marc bell area. if you like, you can see more of his work here:

i honestly have no idea why my computer is doing the WARNING TROJAN
i appreciate the link
Fantastic list…I’ve been enjoying it for a week now and kept forgetting to come back to leave a note. Thanks!
This is a great list, I especially love the Айархаан. I’ve been using this list as background for my writing this week and I’ve been surprisingly productive, so thanks for that!
Айархаан is lovely…it has a tension for a bit then becomes beauty. welcome!
A mix full of discovery and surprises. Thank you. The Ayarkhaan and Bittova in particular were revelations.
Hi there,
The problem with Baumgold’s site has been sorted as far as I know! Sorry about that!
