How I got my iPhone back from the middle of the road in downtown LA

Feb 2, 2013

And it still works

 

iPhone flew off the car

 

The place on top of my car where I left it and it flew off when I started driving and turned a curve (yes, that was incredibly stupid)

 

Found my iPhone downtown

Running “Find My iPhone” to discover it fell off in downtown LA.  Somewhere between a parking structure and a freeway entrance.  And it’s still alive.

 

iPhone after being run over

 

My phone after I drove back downtown, chased the ringtone up the parking ramp, and found it screen-down in the middle of the slope, run over, dirty, but still intact.  Somehow.

The plastic screen cover took quite a beating and came off.  But no one picked it up, no one heard it, and it somehow withstood multiple drive-overs.  It’s just a cheap rubber J.Crew case, by the way.

And it still.  Works.

 

I can’t belive it myself.

Kim Gordon, queen of noise

Kim Gordon reigned over Dilettante last Friday.

Body/Head is her new band.  Crashy, noisy, no drums, two guitars, sonic waves.

Kim sings and drones in her zoned-out trance.  I found this amazing capture of her lyrics on Instagram, thanks to @saeleeoh.

Jennifer Herrema‘s art was so straightforward cool:

A pencil series of drawings and four massive, soft beach towels with sexy and satanic imagery.

Kim Gordon + Sonic Youth are forever favorites.

Certain songs have been saving my sanity.
