BEST Forest Building – BEST Products Company, Inc. – Retail Store – Richmond, VA – USA – 1980 - Existing forest as an intrinsic part of the building
A mixed bag

I just got home from doing the show, and learned experimental musician Holger Czukay, member of CAN, has died. His obit ran in a German newspaper - here's an English version via Pitchfork

Here is his message to his fans: Music is a Miracle

And here's a video of CAN playing live in Soest, West Germany in 1970 (1 hour 25 minutes).

RIP, Holger.

 

The image is of the BEST Forest Building, built by BEST Products Company, Inc. in Richmond, VA in 1980. Existing forest is used as an intrinsic part of the building.

BEST Products was well known for its fantastic, visually interesting, big box stores. Not every BEST was interesting - but the ones that were were really great.
