All-Story magazine is a quarterly trove of literary and artistic discovery. Each season, they publish a new collection of short stories, bound together in shapeshifting magazine format, with guest art designers from all walks of creative life.

A true mish-mash of the arts, always an engaging read, and a welcomed addition to the coffee table collection. Past guest designers include Lou Reed, PJ Harvey, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Thurston Moore, and a whole bunch more. The stories run the gamut from celebrated icons to talented new blood. All organized and bankrolled by Francis Ford Coppola. Ten kinds of really cool.

Blank City is a documentary that I want to actually step into and go back in time. It’s an oral history of a group of renegade NYC indie filmmakers from the 70s and mid 80s. Think Nick Zedd, Jim Jarmusch, and John Waters, with commentary by Debbie Harry, Steve Buscemi, Thurston Moore, and Fab 5 Freddy. Now playing at IFC Center NYC.

Ten years of German photographer Jürgen Teller’s candid, glamorous photo campaigns for Marc Jacobs’ men’s and women’s collections have been collated into one cohesive 576-page fashion bible. This book does an excellent job of detailing just how significant this collaboration has been for fashion, featuring appearances from the likes of Sofia Coppola, Charlotte Rampling, Meg White, Thurston Moore, Rufus Wainwright, William Eggleston, and Winona Ryder.
