"A sequel to Grapefruit. Bound in white cloth, The Other Rooms in the words of the artist, “the life of a woman seeing through the eyes of her son.” On page after page, or room after room, Ono walks the reader through her unique expression of motherly utopian pedagogy, providing observations and instruction “pieces”.

"I recently bought Sarah McLachlan's latest, "Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff, Volume 2". Released on 4/29, it is my new fave.

I'm particularly partial to her version of "Blackbird" as well as "Pills" and the very sweet "When She Loved Me". Give it a listen. You'll love it!"

Stimulated by the psychedelic drug culture, rebel designers and architects distorted space to create womblike coves and isolation chambers, forging a spatial vocabulary that still reverberates today. At the same time, the tune-in-turn-on-dr..."
