Loved To Death: a whacky boutique in San Francisco
|Not exactly synonymous of the ‘peace and love’ movement the Haight is famous for, but Loved To Death is my favorite shop on the street.

Bonus: a selection of authentic tin-type photographs.

There’s something quite compelling about the intensity and intimacy in this portrait by Juliana Beasley. The kids seem coiled and ready to spring to action in an environment which is eerily stark and devoid of discernible character.

No Age are doing something different to the mass of noise-laden, guitar-drum duos canvasing the lo-fi airwaves at the moment. I’m just not sure quite what. Their album, Nouns, is receiving top-rate reviews after sell-out crowds after screaming, obsessive fans. The music is simply massive: a vast landscape of heat haze, somehow both tranquil and manic, punctuated by singer Dean Sprouts backdrop of barely intelligible vocals and Randall’s distorted, archaic sounding drums.
I recently bought a 1960 Oyster Perpetual Datejust and I love it. Read more
