  1. wow, love the ‘faith’/’pornography’ vibe going on here (though i have trouble imagining n. & r. listening to the cure).

  3. i read a 3-4 (?) page article about Bright Black Morning Light, and kept it as a cherished piece because it so intrigued me. i lost the magazine when i moved and it was tragic for me. i took great pleasure on re-reading the article on BBML’s outlandish way of life. i was sincerely jealous and inspired by the apparent peace they found in the life they made for themselves.

    is there any way i could get my hands on another copy of the article? i have SOME money.
    but would happily pay for the cost to ship it? please email me back even if Barring bad news.

    love and best,
    Isa DF
