NO T

No T-Shirt is so good! Their music reminds me of Joy Division. It's simple, heavy, dreamy, somber. It reminds me of like 12 years ago...younger then, more angst, limited view...

Anyways, I like it. I wish I could make it the theme music for this blog.

Broken Face

I love this song by the Pixies! It just makes me smile....I got no lips, I got no tongue....I've got a broken face.

These aren't broken...far from it...:

Hairstyle I want.

Into the Mystic
by Van Morrison

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don’t have to fear itI want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don’t have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

New Canaan, Connecticut Philip Johnson1979 Pritzker Prize Laureate

Philip Johnson's Glass House has been called one of the world's most beautiful and yet least functional homes. Johnson did not envision it as a place to live so much as a stage... and a statement.
The basic concept for Johnson's glass house was borrowed from Mies van der Rohe, who was designing the glass-and-steel Farnsworth House during the same period. Unlike the Farnsworth House, however, Johnson's home is symmetrical and sits solidly on the ground. The interior space is divided by low walnut cabinets and a brick cylinder which contains the bathroom. The cylinder and the brick floors are a polished purple hue; the steel is dark gray. Included in the landscape are sculptures and a guest house

NOTE: Philip Johnson also designed the Transco Tower in Houston and the Pennzoil Place and NCNB Center

Farnsworth House1946 to 1950Plano, IllinoisLudwig Mies van der Rohe


Hovering in a green landscape, this transparent glass house is often celebrated as Mies's most perfect expression of the International Style. The house is rectangular with eight steel columns set in two parallel rows. Suspended between columns are two steel-framed slabs (the ceiling and the roof) and a simple, glass-enclosed living space and porch.
All the exterior walls are glass, and the interior is entirely open except for a wood paneled area containing two bathrooms, a kitchen and service facilities. The floors and exterior decks are Italian travertine limestone. The steel is sanded smooth and painted a gleaming white.
The Farnsworth House took six years to design and build. During this period, Philip Johnson built his famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. However, Johnson's home is symmetrical, ground-hugging structure with a very different atmosphere.
