Better Than Friday - 145 (Patreon)

Good evening everyone, how goes? 

Sore as hell over here. Took a hike up Dog Mountain in the gorge yesterday. Then went to the gym for everybody's favorite: Leg day. 

What the hell is wrong with me...

Hope you enjoy ze stuff. 

1. Book I can't wait to read - Aghora: At the Left Hand of God 

I can't express how cool this book looks. I've been fascinated by the Death-Worshipping Hindu sadhus, the Aghori, for years, but I know next to nothing about them. 

----------------------------

A collection of the spiritual wisdom of an esoteric practitioner of the ancient discipline of Aghora, the book records Vimalananda's experiences and insights into human nature and the struggle for spiritual purification. The teachings of Vimalananda balances the practice of Aghora with a deep knowledge of spirituality and faith, in this fascinating book by Robert E. Svoboda.

2. LL Cool J was actually cool as hell

My wife introduced me to this video and this killer track recently. So good. 

How'd they get past me? 

And damn do I miss the 90s. Never thought I’d ever say that.

3. Blow-Up SceneYES YES YESI bring up this scene with Veruschka in the next review. 

Great, great, great film by Antonioni. Highly recommended.

4. Let's Get Lost - A Chet Baker Documentary 

Totally watching this as soon as humanly possible. 

5. GrivoA newer drone/shoegaze band from Austin that my radar just picked up. 

Melancholy, but I'm digging the sound. 

Wildflowers are everywhere on the top of Dog Mountain in late May/early June.

Worth the trek.
