Frank Gohlke  is one of the New Topographers, and he is one who ends up as the least known, which is a bit of a shame, because I think that his work is among the strongest. I think the other workers ended up as pure artists or pure documentarians, and so they ended up talking about formal or about documentary work, but their work reflected a v. spec. aesthetic. I think the difference with Gohlke is that his work was never sure about exactly what he was working through, and so his best work has a historical view and was beautiful at the same time--these shots from the 79 torondo in Tulsa were s ome of the generations best news photographer, but the composition is as strong as someone like Adams.

J Dilla's record collection, about 7000 peices or so, is being parcelled out and sold at UHF in Royal Oak, MI.

Britian was supposed to save collections of colonial history, and give it back to the countries in question. They seemed to have destoryed it instead.

My friend Spencer, who is very Baptist and I often have fights about how to be Christian and Liturgiucal--he notes that there is a recent trend to make ideas about Christianity in Evangelical circles tighter, and less floating freely through the air--that there might even be a tradition of Catholic Baptists, and that the folks his age are picking it up. There is a new book by Dr Stephen Harmon, about these trends, and the history it is deriving from, I haven't read it yet, but t he intereview here challeneges much of what I thought about Christian expereinces.

Elijah's Church, Steve Earle. 

When I'm dead and I'm gone
Won't you carry me home
To that little white church
In my daddy's home town
'Cause Lord knows I'm some kind of sinner
But I've done come this far
And it's too late for changin'
When this race has been run
Take me back where I came from
And let me return what I took from the ground
When this body won't carry me no further
Take me back
And lay me down
