The ice cream season is happily upon us. Many thanks to Vicki Lam and Christina Yan for their inspired photography which graces the cover of the summer issue of the magazine (out July 2nd!)
Watch for tasty ice cream recipes in the Sweets column written by Tara O’Brady.
And if you are looking for the mercedez-benz of ice cream scoops, look no further than Sherman Kelly‘s classic 1935 design (as pictured below.) Made of aluminum and equipped with its own defrosting system, this scoop is easy to use, non-stick and easy on the eyes. Once you try it, you’ll never go back. Available at the Moma Store.
In the past day, we have had many virtual visitors from the Netherlands, many thanks to Good Inc and their BladBlog post about UPPERCASE magazine.
Thank you to Saskia for subscribing to the magazine. I encourage you to visit Het Zomerpaleis; it is a beautiful website.
Watch for a spread on summer’s finest outdoor music festivals as selected by musician Mark Hamilton in the Summer issue of the magazine.
Included in his list is the wonderful End of the Road Festival. Held in the enchanting Lormer Tree Gardens in Dorset, England, this is a gem of a festival, and a fine way to end the summer (September 11, 12, 13th).
I attended 2 years ago and have fond memories of sleeping under the stars, wandering among wild peacocks, drinking hot cider and of course, discovering new music. The EOTR festival is where I first heard the whimsical big band sound of Woodpigeon (Mark’s band) and the pop-operatic melodies of Jens Leckman.
This year’s headlining bands include: Explosions In The Sky, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case and Steve Earle.
