The Christmas List
It's been years since I last compiled a list of what I wanted for Christmas; this is mostly for the family that asks every year only to be disappointed when "I don't know." I'll be updating it every so often, click on the link on the right to get back to this page in the future.
Marcel Dzama has changed everything we know about art that involves alligators and men in bear costumes holding guns. Dzama is from Winnipeg, and his work shows frequently in New York and on Beck’s album covers. Sometimes he paints with root beer.
This book—it’s not even a book at all, really—is an envelope with thirty-two loose-leaf prints good enough to frame plus a scrapbook plus an insert card plus an intro by Sarah Vowell.
Hello, Dear Wind is one of my very favorite records, but I've lost the mp3s I bought on emusic last year. The Tomato Morning EP is brand-new-web-only, and they've got a combo deal for both.

Chris Adrian's The Children's Hospital - link
A hospital is preserved, afloat, after the Earth is flooded beneath seven miles of water. Inside, assailed by mysterious forces, doctors and patients are left to remember the world they’ve lost and to imagine one to come. At the center, a young medical student finds herself gifted with strange powers and a frightening destiny. Simultaneously epic and intimate, wildly imaginative and unexpectedly relevant, The Children’s Hospital is a work of stunning scope, mesmerizing detail, and wrenching emotion.
