Issue #06
Hey Stargazers,
Any luck with the meteor shower this weekend? Me neither. Today is Monday. The start of a new week. Looking over my calendar, it says this is Week 44 of the year. Sheesh, time has flewn by. In 8 weeks, we’ll be nearing the end of the year!
Over the weekend, I ran around the city with a friend in from out of town. We visited several galleries and shows (make sure to catch Anne Vieux’s Mirror Proxies show at The Hole before it closes on the 29th). As fun and amazing it is to live in such a vibrant city, it can drain you! So, I’m still playing catch-up with my email inbox 🥱
Here’s the TL;DR:
Daft punk is a genius. Apple Stores are more interesting than you think. The James Webb Telescope does it again. Liz Truss resigned (lol). Matthew Perry published a memoir. Park Chan-wook deconstructs the detective narrative.
How Daft Punk made “One More Time”
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, known as Daft Punk, crafted the hit song “One More Time” using samples of “More Spell On You” by Eddie Johns (1979). That has been known for some time, but this visualization puts into perspective the genius of French duo.
A newsletter wholly devoted to Apple’s invisible and largest product — The Apple Store. Incredibly well-documented, great photos and frequently reports on new-store openings and upgrades. I highly recommend following Michael’s newsletter!

Liz Truss resigns as PM, with new leader by next Friday
Welp, that was quick! After 45 days, Truss has is stepping down. She will go down as the shortest-serving leader in UK history.
