• Favorite doesn’t mean I read everything, or even much, let alone understand, but rather reflects the tendency to talk enthusiastically about something in pub conversation. I am prone to calling some \(x\) I happen to like a lot ‘the best \(x\) ever’.

• Every recorded opera by Robert Ashley (or here)
• This documentary about Marvin Gaye’s time in Ostend
• Deze documentaire over W. F. Hermans
• De interviews van W. F. Hermans, Willem Oltmans, Gerard Reve, Hugo Claus en nog één met Hermans met Adriaan van Dis
• Nog een interview met Gerard Reve
• eilandeilanden

• Joe Felsenstein’s free popgen book
• Probably the most significant thing in Ghent: the Logos robot orchestra
• Low-tech magazine
