I like it when bands stay broken up

http://www.nme.com/news/pavement/34908

as much as I like(d) Pavement I have to stick to my internal guns and stay the course with the belief that bands that have broken up stay broken up. Thankfully I had the chance to see Pavement before breakup.

Lou Dorfsman's Gastrotypographicalassemblage

http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/004496.html
FTA:
"The icon in question was the Gastrotypographicalassemblage, the wall from the CBS cafeteria that was conceived and designed by Lou Dorfsman, the legendary art director. Though many designers are aware of its existence, few understand the magnitude of the achievement that it represents. The Gastrotypographicalassemblage, commonly referred to as “the wall,” is enormous; it is 33 feet in length and 8 feet in height, give or take a few inches. The piece is a mélange of food-related words and objects, a perfectly orchestrated collage of appetite. At last count, more than 1,450 letters converge to create this experience."
