Fresh links in the roll

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the lengthy roll of links to be on the right-hand side of this page (assuming you’re looking at the Murketing site itself and not the RSS feed).

Here’s what I’ve added today:

I’ve had a couple of things brought to my attention just recently that I’m adding. One will be filed under Critiques, and is called the Consume®econnection Project: “A year-long effort to meet the laborers and craftsmen who build what I buy – and put a human face on consumption.”

Also added to the Critiques section: Buy-By Brian (see Murketing Q&A here) and the Obsessive Branding Disorder blog.

The other blog just brought to my attention is Wasted Food, which belongs to Jonathan Bloom, who
is writing a book on wasted food in America. I’m adding it to the Unconsumption section.

I thought that Sivacracy.net, featuring fellow UT grad Siva Vaidhyanathan among others, was already in the list, but it wasn’t, so now it is, under Various Other Friends. Also added to that section: Curious Capitalist, co-written by Justin Fox of Time Magazine.

To the Artists section, I’ve added Harriete Estel Berman and Valerie Green.

To the Sustenance section, I’ve added The Restricted Foodie, by friend of Murketing Lori Greenberg, “a woman of food, in spite of an insidious array of food allergies.”

I’ve added Mudd Up! to the Music section.

I’m also adding Animal New York. I tend to disagree with their constant slamming of Shepard Fairey and KAWS, among others — but they do have good stuff that I link to all the time. Probably they’ll be annoyed to be in the Brand Underground section … so that’s where it goes. Heh. On a related note I just realized Susannah Breslin/Reverse Cowgirl is contributing to Animal, and although I’d lost touch with her blog, I’m looking at it again and so I added it too, to the Hard To Categorize section. (It’s “Pornographic Coolhunting,” so decide for yourself whether that suggests it will be “safe for work” or whatever.)

Finally, to the Solipsism section, I’ve added my GoodReads profile.
