THE PATAPHYSICIAN
August 9, 2008
We’d like our library to be filled with only volumes as fascinating and finely crafted as those from Exact Change. Musicians and publishers Damon & Naomi always bring intelligence and elegance to all things they do, and the Exact Change repertoire is no exception. A culmination of the dreamiest (and almost lost!) works of modern literature (both thoughtful in their translations and design) these titles are truly treasures. We’re inspired by the drawing rooms, cafés, salons and saloons many of these works surely must have been written in, as well as the men and women of imagination who wrote them. Chambray White Cuff Button Down Shirt by Giacometti (www.bblessing.com), Black Dress Pants by Mr. Olive (via http://shop.atsuitokyo.com), Carpe Diem linen over leather boots (www.ateliernewyork.com), and Gary Graham-designed Damon & Naomi Map Tote Bag in Olive (order via damonandnaomi.com). To set the tone for the beautiful and melancholy nights ahead, be sure to pre-order your copy of Damon & Naomi’s seminal More Sad Hits, just reissued on vinyl and available September 1 (order via damonandnaomi.com). And, don’t forget to check out Exploits & Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician (www.exactchange.com) by the original pataphysician–Alfred Jarry!
