I HOPE YOU ARE ALL HAPPY NOW

I know this is really really late, its been 5 years, but i just found this and i really want this as my birthday present. This is a book that contains the camera shots from Nick Zinner, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' multi-talented guitarist.

If you want to know why i want this book so bad, just read this reviews from these famous peoples:

"I Hope You Are All Happy Now" eloquently captures the fragmentary nature of travel by piecing it back together one photo at a time. A mosaic of the unkempt, the unmade, and the unhinged.
--CARRIE BROWNSTEIN / SLEATER-KINNEY

. . . by snapping a shot of every crowd the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have played for, every hotel room they've left in disarray, and every moment of consequence they've had together, Zinner brings us behind the music for real.
---JENNY ELISCU / ROLLING STONE

Strange proof of my last four years, it looks so easy, almost desirable through his eye. It's up to the individual to discern what's real, what's legit, what to trust, what to go with . . . If Nick can see things as he does in this terribly immediate and beautiful book of photographs why can't I, or you?
--KAREN O / YEAH YEAH YEAHS

From some people, you might assume there was sarcasm in this title, but I think Nick genuinely does hope you are all happy now. That is the feeling I get from his photos, that he really loves the people he takes pictures of.
---SPIKE JONZE / DIRECTOR

Nick Zinner has a rock 'n' roll eye for the details of life on the road, exposing YYY's rise from the gutters of NYC's East Village to the pages of Rolling Stone. But these are more than casual tour snapshots. His eye is sharp. Music loud 'n' wild 'n' free comes to life on the pages of this book. These pix are a personal view to where he's at -- the faces, the places, the gore, and the glory -- all the highway songs along the way. By the pictures' own admission, the fans in the crowd take center stage, and by now we are all among them, in the front row, looking up into his lens.
--LEE RENALDO / SONIC YOUTH

Today, everyone with a cell phone is an art photographer, and every successful rock 'n' roll musician is something else too. Actor. Painter. Fashion designer. Disc jockey. Porn star. Diplomat. Hot-sauce vendor. It's enough to make you cynical. Nick doesn't make me cynical. His ability to convey both a documentarian's crucial detachment and the genuinely soulful contemplation of a mystified kid (often within the same subject) sets him apart.
--MARC SPITZ / SPIN MAGAZINE

Being a rock star used to be about sex, drugs, and an early death. Now it's about empty hotel rooms, cuts and bruises, and the fans. I think it's a lot better now.
--EDDY MORETTI / VICE FILMS

One of the most innovative and original rock 'n' roll guitarists and composers of the new millennium. Now he wants a piece of my turf . . . He has an eye both lean and mean. He takes photos like he plays guitar -- fast and unorthodox. He seizes unlikely moments from the free flow of events he lives through.
--MICK ROCK / PHOTOGRAPHER

That's all folks, i hope you could send me this piece of shit, coz i'm dyin' for having this book. And here is some snap of the photos taken from this book:

AWAYDAYS : The story about wedge haircuts, Lois jeans, and Adidas sneakers

I was watching Awaydays trailer when i decided that i have to watch this movie. A story about wedge haircuts, Lois jeans, and Adidas sneakers, eh? So I watched the movie yesterday, and have a few question about it. First, this is what the web tells me :

Awaydays is based on the bestselling novel by Kevin Sampson. Set in the post-punk era in the North West of England. Paul Carty (Nicky Bell) is 19, good-looking, funny, clever - and bored out of his mind. His mother died a year ago. He lives in middle class suburbia with his silently grieving father and feisty young sister, Molly. Carty works as a junior civil servant and spends all his wages on gigs, clubs, records and football. It's at a match that he meets Elvis (Liam Boyle).Elvis changes everything. He's part of a gang called The Pack. The Pack is legendary; they dress in a cultish, almost effeminate style that's at odds with the Boneheads and Bootboys they fight against. They have androgynous wedge haircuts worn with Lacoste tennis shirts, Lois jeans and Adidas Forest Hills training shoes. For as long as he has been going to football, Carty has been fascinated by The Pack. Now Elvis is offering him a way in...

Quite interesting, but i assure you have to watched it yourself so you can find something weird in this movie. I wouldn't tell ya :p
But still, i love you Elvis :)

TYPOMOFO : TYPE MORPHING INTO FORMS

Another great book which i want for my next birthday. Anyone? :P
The reviews like Index Book said:

With the proliferation of digital tools that fuse both traditional and cutting-edge techniques, typography is becoming increasingly experimental and multi-faceted.
From pen-and-ink vernacular styles to digital rendering, to the use of mixed media, this volume showcases how new typefaces have been formed, transformed and used in unconventional ways to create symbolic images and patterns.
Each of these high-quality projects is accompanied by an insightful commentary that explores the conceptualisation and creative application of type aesthetics with digital and analogue techniques in graphic design.
An ideal source for designers, illustrators, clients and anyone keen in the creative possibilities of typography contributing to a more sophisticated visual language that communicates and intrigues.

HOW SOON IS NEVER?

This is the book i've always wanted to read.

The review based on Bookslut

Joe Green, in the early eighties, is a confused, horny teenager who hangs out in the school art room and listens to the legendary indie rock station WLIR. A identity-seeking moth, drifting towards a flame that burns bright with promise, Joe falls hard for the new sound from Manchester, the perfect soundtrack to his moody adolescence -- an adolescence fractured after the Smiths shattered apart.

Joe Green, in the late nineties, is a confused, horny music writer who screws twenty-somethings who like the Smiths for retro's sake. Having survived Long Island, heroin, and checking bags at a bookstore, he's now living a music nerd's fantasy -- free CDs, free concerts, and hanging out with rock stars.

Of course, he's miserable.

When he falls in love with a coworker who shares his exact same birthday, he seems to find salvation, despite the fact that she has a boyfriend. But over many, many drinks one night, they discover a shared love for The Smiths, and a drunken plan emerges -- what if they could reunite the Smiths for one show? With the enthusiasm of fanboys, Joe and Miki begin to contact the now separated band members, slowly working their way up to Morrissey, even as Joe begins to realize that reuniting the Smiths won't do anything to really fix what broke in him before.

Overall, this is a great example of how "write what you know" is consistantly good advice. Spitz's background as a rock journalist for Spin magazine makes the rock aspects of the story consistantly non-poser-ish, and the clear first-person voice really sells the character. Whether Spitz actually survived heroin and a New England liberal arts college is unknown to me, but Joe Green's journey, from the panic about turning thirty to the loathing of youngsters appropriating the music he grew up with, rings true enough to make me believe anything. Unlike High Fidelity's Rob, Joe isn't striving for a faint glimpse of rocker cool; he's trying to form an identity outside of his fanboy idols.

In the end, this book fits like the baggy sweater you loved in high school, well-worn, comfortable and bound to dredge up more than a few memories. You don't need to like the Smiths in order to understand How Soon Is Never?. You don't need to like MUSIC in order to understand How Soon Is Never. You just need to remember what it was like to be fifteen, confused, lost, and desperately seeking an identity of your own, and if you don't remember, Joe Green's booze-addled journey through high school nostalgia will bring it all back for you. How Soon is Never doesn't offer happy endings, but it does offer the solace of pop music -- because
no matter how bad things get, they can't ruin a really great song.
