Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips are New York City’s most effortless mod couple, a duo whose sleek, icily romantic pop can serve as both sophisticated art-gallery soundtrack and lovey-dovey fireplace music. In the four years since the breakup of former band Luna, Wareham and Phillips have pursued boutique careers in the best possible sense: in literature, film, fashion and the music business. Fittingly, their latest project, 13 Most Beautiful … Songs For Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests, sets a series of Warhol’s short films to music. The couple will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all this week. Read our Q&A with Dean & Britta.
Dean: Jennifer Baron, Greg Langel, Mark Stroup and Elizabeth Perry just released Pittsburgh Signs Project: 250 Signs Of Western Pennsylvania, a beautiful and humorous picture book of the American landscape. It features photographs of signs in Western Pennsylvania in varying states of disrepair.

Great book, I highly recommend!
Western PA is an amazing area to explore as evidenced by the content of this book. It is rare to find a city like Pittsburgh that has the lingering indicators of its past alongside a renewed cultural future. What I mean to say is – try to find these signs around the area and you are sure to have a wonderful time and stumble upon small stores, interesting antiques, and very odd but interesting people.
