LCD Soundsystem "Home" from FUNWUNCE on Vimeo . Tonight I jump in the car to pick up my kid from a play date. I flip on KCRW to catch what turned out to be the final song in Travis's dj set: "Home" by lcd soundsystem. HOME Home Home Home Home Home Home Take me home Just do it right Make it perfect and real Because it's everything No everything was never the deal So grab your things and stumble into the night So we can shut the door Oh, shut the door on terrible times Yeah, do it right And head again into space So you can carry on And carry on, and fall all over the place This is the trick, forget a terrible year That we can break the laws Until it gets weird And this is what you waited for But under lights, we're all unsure So tell me What would make you feel better?

We went to the LACMA Kubrick exhibit last month and didn't stop taking pictures so that you wouldn't have to. My blog post is self-explanatory. It tells in pictures all that captured my eye.  The LACMA exhibit, called  STANLEY KUBRICK , is a complete, chronological survey of the director's oeuvre guaranteed to leave all who go entirely gobsmacked.

And so given that my world lately has been all about style and fashion and that I always have loved Edward Gorey reblogging this great post seemed like a great choice. Enjoy
