wanting israeli food so bad right now. →
attn: food porn enthusiasts.
i think i’m going to try and learn how to make baba ganoush soon.
edit, for those leaving comments on this — i know that the combination of eggplant and tehina didn’t originate in the land of israel. i think it’s fair for an american to go to israel and call the regional staple food that he eats there, whether it’s hummus or halvah or...

i'm back home from israel
was in nyc for two days afterwards, and i got back to austin two nights ago. lots to sort though, so the idea of summarizing it feels strange. i can definitely say that it was an intellectually enriching experience to say the least, full of depth, and containing a perfect balance of blissful fun and seriousness of a profound nature. i learned a lot about the country and myself, and made...

i’m over in israel until the 26th, and then spending some time in nyc (third summer in a row) until the 28th. set up a few things to post in the queue….not quite as much as i did during my wakarusa/bonnaroo trip, but i’ll try and make up for it once i’m back. a bunch of people have felt the need to tell me that i’ll ‘never be the same’ after this. never...

“I was not raised in a religious household. For my mother, organized religion too...”
– The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama (via eliianaa)
religion should more regularly be viewed through the lens of the anthropologist, because it’s an archaic concept that has largely eclipsed its functionality. obviously very fascinating and relevant culturally, but so easily transcended by...

The Killers, by Ernest Hemingway
gaws:
The door of Henry’s lunchroom opened and two men came in. They sat down at the counter.
“What’s yours?” George asked them.
“I don’t know,” one of the men said. “What do you want to eat, Al?”
“I don’t know,” said Al. “I don’t know what I want to eat.”

Hundred Waters self-titled LP →
thedropp:
The five-piece electronic-folk amalgamation, Hundred Waters, approach everyday listeners from another dominion entirely, a province of rustic affinity and fantastical posits on nature. Where most folk music lives and breathes in its own pastoral prison, Hundred Waters’ self-titled debut LP brings synthesizers, pianos, a gad of horns and Afro-pop bursts to their album for an eclectic...

walked into another room right after posting this shaolin afronauts track and my accompanying thoughts about protest music, and opened up my leroi jones/amiri baraka anthology, which features poems, short stories, and non-fiction (largely jazz criticism). the first paragraph i read pertained to my post with uncommon accuracy.
if you play james brown (say, ‘money won’t change you...
