ordinary standards do not apply
“On January 4th, 1943, Slovenian-American author Louis Adamic wrote the  heartfelt letter above to ex-President of the United States, Herbert Hoover. The letter concerned the alarming treatment and general well-being of Adamic’s friend, Nikola Tesla; an immeasurably important inventor whose impact on the modern world is still difficult to appreciate and who, despite his numerous...

BUG 17
UG is a showcase for new music videos held once a month or so at the British Film Institute and hosted by comedian Adam Buxton. Videos are interspersed with banter and often a quick look at the dumb ass you-tube comments that accompany them. I keep a list of the stuff I like for reference, especially as I’ve never heard of most of the bands (e-hem), although this month I did a little...

what are you going to do with 390 photographs of...
I don’t know. But it seemed the thing to do in that first week in January 1964, and I got two other people to join me. One of them wants to remain anonymous, and that’s all right. I think we were still in shock over President Kennedy’s assassination. Perhaps that had something to do with all those photographs of Christmas trees.
