I think someone could do an amazing doctoral thesis about how Contemporary Christian music (mainstream and cult-like) has influenced music (mainstream and cult-like) in the twenty-teens.
Avatar 10:05am
Cecile:

Okay:
I have three potential final papers to write in History of Graphic Design:

1) Mucha vs. John Dyer Baizley
2) Alvin Lustig vs Elaine Lustig Cohen
or
3) 20s surrealism vs Hipgnosis album covers.

I was kind of set on the Baizley one, but now I'm not sure.

...one defintion of Rock'n'Roll might be Gospel w/ Dirty lyrics...
- Hipgnosis seems very Magritte to me ; has been said that Horror just rips Surrealism out of context too - to put it uncharitably...
- have mused that: Psych is Surrealism + R&B
- Mod is Futurism + R&B
- Punk is DAdA...+ R&B...

No, I think he's fascinating and I like his sense of beauty, even though it's pretty stylized. And he was a definite influence on Baizeley (dude who plays in baroness and does art for them, Metallica and a ton of other people)_

"Vs" means compare/contrast. Whoops, it does sounds like a battle royale. Didn't mean to do that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:14am

I just had a look at some work by John Dyer Baizley, and he is an apt Mucha pupil, alright, but that death and darkness stuff is fairly worked over, too. ...
Avatar 10:14am
Cecile:

oh, rev, do you still have that sheet of Baby Teeth lettering?
Avatar 10:16am
Cecile:

he also has elements of Pushead in there, as well. I like his stuff because while Art Noveau hinted at decadence, Baizley is the flip side: The worms are crawling over everything.

It's kind of a convoluted book. It's not the easiest read, but he does link several art movements together to explain how the Sex Pistols happened.

This piece is the sort of music that'd bore me if it were in English and played in any other setting. Somehow the combination of its being in French and the setting Ms. Berg gives it makes it at least tolerable, maybe even pleasant. That says something about the skill of the DJ: the ability not only to give us great entertainment, but sometimes to get a portion of the audience over what would otherwise be low spots.
Avatar 11:16am
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- word.
  11:17am
Robert:

Looks like a left-handed compliment, doesn't it? But think about it. Nobody could possibly have someone else happen to pick out music that's your favorite pieces all the time, given the enormous variety in musical tastes. Someone who can keep us listening over the long run -- that's a skill we don't often recognize, but it's there.

It's also great how Mondays have worked out. I don't know whether to credit Mr. Freedman, Mr. Turner, or the serendipity of when people were available, but the peppiness of Ms. Berg's program, which seems NEEDED on a Mon. morn, followed by the laid-back programming of Ms. Trudel, just fits wonderfully.

Though I've been on some modestly satisfying youtube excursions in music discovery, none of those journeys can hold a candle to the wonderfully unexpected nature of music discovery when guided by an actual human. I guess that's all why we're gathered here!

This year a tip from a comment thread turned me on to Poopy Lungstuffing; a play by Mr. Freedman turned me on to Neil Cicierega's mashups, even though I'd been attempted to be made aware of Mr. Cicierega years earlier by Jesse Walker's reporting; and now a Facebook cx that I maintain as a favor for an organiz'n turned me on to Steve 'n' Seagulls.
