I've been watching Miranda July for the past 15 years, but I'm going to have to start stalking her for real. Her work is rarely super polished, but there's something about the angle of her mind that I fucking adore. Love, love, love what she recently said about pursuing strangers. I think she's asking the right questions, poking around in the right places that others overlook or even purposefully ignore. Among my friends, it's no real secret that I've been following various strangers all my life, and I'm a little bit pissed off that Miranda July thought to do it in a more organized fashion and document the thing as the thing, the product. My following strangers has mostly been about process, not product. That Miranda July is one smart cookie.

a friend of mine made me a mixtape about 9 years ago with a song by her on it– it blew my mind. EVer since then i've paid attention as well. She is almost certainly from another planet. It is great.
Awesome. I still have actual records she did years ago. The best other planet, for sure.
