BOOKS

MUSIC

This month we recommend:

Beach House – Beach House Chillest of the chill, great dreaming & writing music. (AL)
Submarine – Scanners Luxurious, driving British indie rock with addictive songs & great vocals by Sarah Daly. (AL)
La Diva Aux Pieds Nus – Césaria Évora Her debut album, recorded in 1988, brought the “barefoot diva” instant worldwide acclaim. (AL)

iTunes makes music easy, and they pretty much invented how to do it. Search the iTunes box above to browse their entire selection and support Cultural Weekly at the same time!

EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY

B&H has the biggest selection and the best prices. I remember the first time I went to their store in New York, on West 17th St. – I wandered for hours with my eyes popping out of my head. They’ve since moved to a much larger location, and have become the largest non-chain photo and video equipment store in the US. Use the B&H search box above to browse their entire selection of computers, cameras, audio and other gear, and support Cultural Weekly at the same time! (AL)

EVENTS

Goldstar sells tickets to great events at deep discounts – theatre, dance, music, comedy, sports. Click on the Goldstar icon to browse their entire selection in two dozen cities, and support Cultural Weekly at the same time!

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Jack Grapes teaches people how to write. His Method Writing approach develops all writing skills. For me, it was a life-changing experience and showed me how to forget writing as my school-teachers taught me to write, and to start writing in my own voice & style. Highly recommended. (AL)

Jane Atkinson is a friend who has been instrumental in helping me share my knowledge with others. I recommend her book The Wealthy Speaker, as well as her training materials and personal coaching. (AL)
