[nonostantement #208] - duchamp / fight club & china / amazon knows you
Now with MORE Fight Club endings!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with enthralling, enlightening, and exciting stuff found all over the Internet.
Hi, this newsletter has a weird name and is sent out every Sunday from a weird place by a weird dude. That dude is me, Joele. I have been practically living online for several years, and I also work there as a brand consultant. While I'm online I find interesting things and send them to my friends in this same newsletter. If you find it interesting, reply to this email and tell me. Ciao!
A couple of random links as soundtrack for this Sunday: Talaboman - Safe Changes, Hampshire & Foat - Galaxies Like Grains of Sand, Sylvester - I Need Somebody To Love Tonight (Instrumental).
