King of Nothing Hill
Barry Adamson: King of Nothing Hill
When Magazine and The Bad Seeds are in your cv and Ennio Morricone is one of your influences, chances are you're going to make some interesting music. This is my favourite Barry Adamson album, it's a few years old now but always feels current.
Wait For Me
Moby: Wait For Me
A home made album inspired by a David Lynch speech about how creativity needn't be governed by the need to be received by and fit into the marketplace. Perhaps that will be true of this latest piece of work from Moby but I like it
Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love
The Sa-Ra Creative Partners: Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love
Technically the first full-length from one of LA's brightest and trippiest musical tribe's. Think Funkadelic meets Pink Floyd meets hip-trip-hop and you'll be partway toward grasping just how out there these boys are.
Robert Wright: The Evolution of God
Religion, game theory, violence and benevolence, fundamentalism, evolution, it's all here and all brought together masterfully by Wright.
Alain De Botton: The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work
De Botton is a reliable thinker and good writer who explores a 'philosophy of everyday life.' Here he tackles work, taking us on a ride through the 21st century working world that is surprisingly captivating even when he is talking about biscuit factories.
Deyan Sudjic: The Language of Things: Understanding the World of Desirable Objects
This book is an extension of a talk Sudjic recently gave. Very readable exploration of how design shapes us as we shape design. Lots of interesting historical anecdotes and some great insights from the extremely bright and creative head of London's Design Museum.

I got a box in the mail today. It's no ordinary box mind you, it's part of a global, public art project by Franck de las Mercedes. Every box is unique, hand-painted and filled with something. Mine was filled with 'world peace.' What one does with the box is up to the recipient, ultimately the goal is to get people thinking about values and change. you can get your own box by signing up for one here, it's free, although the contents come at quite a premium.
