In the words of Tea Jones, “Hiatuses cannot be rushed. The time is coming.” That being said, we’ll start by making up for lost time where it concerns the Photo of the Week. Take five. We have.
It only took one listen to “Surf India” for me to realize that my Friday night would be booked. With an opening riff reminiscent of the Blue Album, Deadbeat Darling brings some grit to the surf sound that only a four-piece from NYC can muster. They’re familiar enough with Houston Street, but tomorrow night, 8/3/12, Manhattan will be but a distant blip in their rearview.
The Sunflower Bakery has long been one of my go-to providers of the artisan bread and pastry. It was knea-deep in the carefully baked dough craze before everyone started bragging about their supplies from Kraftsmen and Slow Dough. That’s back in the last millenium. Whereas Slow Dough prizes the pretzel and Kraftsmen bolsters the baguette and bagel, Sunflower holds the challah, balla.
Like some of its newer competitors, Sunflower Bakery, too, offers more than the traditional baked goods. It stands to reason that the baker would know what best to put on their loaf. That’s foreseeing the potential in its entirety.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Groovehouse on here. That’s not a bad thing. Judging by this picture of the Alabama Theater sign, taken on July 26th, as well as his other entries, quality over quantity seems to be the modus operandi.
This week’s image is just far too impressive to shrink down—curses to you, column widths. Below you get a taste. Click here and you’ll find a better, more telling version or, hit the original on ZERO CEM’s Flickr gallery. Either way, attention should be paid.
Eric got Episode 118, with 13 Celsius. Whoopee. Before we go and grab a round of Cape Cods in celebration, let’s not forget Episode 113 and Episode 116—they’re still Robert Stack. Who’s got ‘em?
As I perused the photos this morning in the Loop Scoop Photogs Group, this one struck me. There are others that are more aesthetically pleasing, whether for the story they tell, like this one by O Texano or purely by composition, as was the case with this shot by Gene Inman. However, Mockbird’s capture of these three shapes was unique. I mean, how often do you see coincidences such as these occurring naturally and further, who thinks to record them? Maybe it’s old hat for the photographers among us, but I was impressed.
Glenn’s in the right with the suggestion of The Public House for Episode 117. Congrats. However Episode 113 has yet to see a victor. Episode 116 too, has stumped everyone, including me, although I have a feeling Paul knows; he slipped the image under the office door that week. I just followed orders. Such is life these days.
Speaking of life, “it’s been rough and rocky travelin’.” Yeah, figuratively, literally, hyperbolically—you name it. For the few that noticed, therein lie the reasons for our skeleton crew operations as of late. Don’t worry. We’ll recover.
Wherever he is, I hope he finds cover. There’s no roof.
