I recently picked up a couple of Guy Delisle books, doing what you’re not supposed to and literally judging them by their covers.

Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City and Muybridge are superb, the latter especially. Who knew the story of Eadweard Muybridge needed to be told?

Delisle’s illustrations are so good. Every panel feels like it has just enough pen strokes in it to give it the weight and movement that it needs, and no more.

Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City is a journal of Delisle’s time spent in the city while is wife worked for Médecins Sans Frontières, while Muybridge is a much more dramatic story of one of the early pioneers of moving pictures.

Muybridge himself deserves so many more stories to be written about him. Unfortunately, the recent documentary, Exposing Muybridge doesn’t seem to be available in the UK, so I’ll have to track it down elsewhere.

Chris Morris’ cult classic (all Morris’ work comes into that category I feel) Brass Eye first aired in 1997.

20 years later, Oxide Ghosts: The Brass Eye Tapes was a behind-the-scenes movie made by director Michael Cumming and screened only during a short run of of live dates in 2017, and again in 2022.

In January this year, the YouTube channel Oxide Ghosts was created and several videos have been published since.

I’m going to assume that these videos are part of those tours. Either way, it’s great to see hear Cumming’s thoughts on the show all these years later.

Here’s the latest one, Brass Eye Hidden Secrets | Ep 1.

The Angine de Poitrine zeitgeist will probably lead to an increase in the purchase of microtonal guitars and basses. But where to buy them?

I can’t remember even seeing an off-the-shelf microtonal bass until Eastwood Guitars came out with the Warren Ellis Microtonal MT Bass Guitar last week.

I also know very little about Warren Ellis so I can’t vouch for his microtonal credentials. The bass is very nice, though.

I have a birthday coming up if someone wants to buy me it.

That’s it. There’s not much more to it than that. Other than to say it was originally built by Andy Bell of piccalil.li

This site was built to share and revel in each others’ personal sites, and is currently home to ~937 of them. Witness these in wonderment and awe. Immaculate. Stunning. How did they do that? Yes, you should definitely get around to redesigning yours soon.

I submitted ronnie.fyi a couple of days ago and it’s up there now. I’ve been having a nosey around and here are some sites I’ve enjoyed.

• artlung.com
• coryd.dev
• chriskirknielsen.com

These are all super maximalist styles, not a bootstrap framework in site. Love to see it.

Jonathan MacKenzie has put together a modular synth cover of Angine de Poitrine’s Sarniezz. As a synth luddite, this is basically just magic.
