Rasmussen on Architecture and History

Riff Raff on the Riff Raff Halloween Costume (or, What Does It Mean To Be Riff Raff?)
Riff Raff talks a bit about Spring Breakers in this interview. About midway through: [Riff Raff talks about a store he is going to open that does not sell middle of the mall shit and then] …but what we’re doing is also … Continue reading

Rhizome Profiles Alex Myers
So Alex Myers has a lot of radditude and you can look at his blog and his twitter for constant updates on his life. I constantly want to write at length about Alex, but I’ve yet to spend the time … Continue reading
Nick Briz’s Apple Computers
