NEW WAVES



No Age - Eraser









This spring weather in NYC has got me humming. The new soundtrack for the season is No Age's debut on Sub Pop. It's just what a great rock and roll album should be - 30 compact minutes of pop, noise, invention, and sonic sound-wave surfing. The waves found in this book - New Waves by photographer Takashi Homma - have also peeked my interest. These meditative variations on sun, sand, and surf are a welcome invitation to summer. You can find the book here at NYC's Japanese bookstore - Kinokuniya. Visit the store (right by Bryant Park) for more sources of inspiration from Japan.
