Robert Philen’s Favorite Books and Films - 2007

February 9, 2008

Thanks to a reference by Reginald Shepherd I discovered Robert Philen’s blog. Why is his name so familiar to me? Anyway, a lot of fun reading to be had there (before I go on, a nod toward his entertaining and oh-so-true post on why punk rock is so boring). I recommend checking out his favorite books (parts one and two) and films (parts one and two) of 2007. Great capsule reviews/notes that are personal, direct, and don’t claim to place every piece in a grand universal aesthetic schema).
