Godmorgen, jeg håber du har haft en god weekend, sunget en sang om fred her til lands og taget et billede af Skt. Hans-bålet til Instagram. Nu er der morgenpost og det er fedt. Værsgo:

Tricky har lavet et nyt album, 'False Idols', og det er sgu fedt! Jeg har aldrig dyrket Tricky helt vildt, det har mere været Portishead, men jeg kan rigtig godt lide det her. Tjek især 'Nothing Matters', der er helt sublimt.

"The album is so tonally unified that it comes across as one very long single—an extended thought, coughed up quickly. There are few steady drumbeats, and West can’t seem to resist pausing the sound and then bringing it back from silence; he never wants you to forget that he is standing over the boards. This is music with a lot of empty space: it consists largely of profane rapping over wildly distorted bass lines, which often serve as the only melodic motifs. When synths do appear, they aren’t pretty."
Verdens bedste musikskribent, Sasha Frere-Jones fra The New Yorker, skriver om Kanye Wests 'Yeezus'. Det er en nuanceret og velovervejet tekst (som altid, når Frere-Jones skriver), der meget godt indrammer splittelsen mellem om Kanye er gal eller genial.

"Murray seems to be constantly doing things for no other reason than that they're fun things to do. But it's a very specific kind of fun: generously inclusive and yet somehow paradoxically self-enclosed, as though his public manifestations – the kickball games, the party crashing and so on – were a kind of in-joke with himself, a way of keeping himself amused that just happens to involve amusing the whole rest of the world."
"Froome explained that he had learned to ride a mountain bike in the highlands above Nairobi alongside a dreadlocked rider called David Kinjah. In and around Kikuyu township, where Kinjah still lives among the tin huts, the black Kenyan passed on his enduring passion to an impressionable white boy. "Kinjah helped me see you didn't need the best bike or perfect conditions," Froome said. "You can just get on a bike and go – no matter where you are.""
På lørdag starter den bedste sportsbegivenhed på hele året: Le Tour. Jeg ser gerne, at Chris Froome fra Team Sky vinder. Guardian har et rigtig fint portræt af cykelrytteren med de afrikanske rødder.

Feasting Never Stops er en blog om mad, fødevarer og fortæring, som på fornem visuel vis giver lyst til at leve for at spise i stedet for at spise for at leve.

Hvis jeg var i New York det næste stykke tid, var udstillingen om Le Corbusier på MOMA allerhøjest på min liste over ting, jeg skulle se.

Det var alt for i dag - hav en god mandag og husk at vinke, hvis du ser en vogn fuld af studenter.
Jeg kan love dig for, at jeg har meget på hjerte. Men det kommer jeg ikke til at blande ind i min karriere. Det er ikke professionelt interessant for mig at udtale mig om ting. At jeg selv mener en masse i det private … fair snak. Men den snak kan jeg tage med nogle venner.
