Martin de Thurah
by Martin de Thurah’s videos have a mystery to them that I think is amazing. At times, it’s very much on the surface: a strange costume, elements of sci-fi. But often there’s just something indescribably beautiful and weird in the way he frames an apple tree, in the way he launches you straight into a story without exposition, in the way he makes you feel as if something is off but you can’t figure out what it is.

Mikael Kennedy is one of my favorite photographers. From the first time I saw his work, I had the feeling not just that I wanted to see more of it, but that I wanted to be in it: to go to those places, to find out who those people are in his photographs. And the more you see of his work, the more the experience of it deepens because he continues to shoot many of the same close friends and family members over the years. So you start to experience the work as an ongoing story.
Appalshop: for Appalachian music, culture and history
Appalshop, in Whitesburg, Kentucky, is a great resource for anyone interested in Appalachian music, culture and history. It’s dedicated to giving voice to people of the region to tell their own story. You can watch lots of great performances and clips from documentaries they’ve made on their website and stream their radio station as well. One of my favorites is WMMT.
My new album: The Jessamine County Book of the Living
Right now, I’m getting ready for the June 7 release of my new record, The Jessamine County Book of the Living [listen to the first track off it below], and looking forward to getting in the van and touring the US for the next three months. I’ve also been having a lot of fun making costumes and props, shooting and editing, and collaborating with several video artists to make videos for a bunch of the songs on the record. Also, I invented a new musical genre with my friend Kyp today: ‘survival folk’. It’s when you write a song on the mandolin while you get mauled by a mountain lion.

The AP Tour brought metalcore music heavyweights and a convoy of sponsor vans head-first into a stormy Seattle last night. The Hurley denim reps were rattled; they’d endured a long drive from Utah through what they described as the worst weather they’d ever experienced. Joking around with them before the show I realised how shaken up these guys actually were; hands were still shaking and their laughter was racked by nerves. Read more
