            THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS
            Mirror Moves
            1984 Canada pressing

            ALWAYS a good day for some Furs!

            The first four Psych Furs albums are absolutely perfect, but the Mirror Moves/Talk Talk Talk back-to-back exercise is the most satisfying pair for me.

            I could never pick which of those two I like better, but Mirror Moves is so friggin great.

            Great pair of singles in “The Ghost In You” and “Heaven”, but the rest of the album’s material is SO STRONG.

            Richard Butler’s voice is so singular. There’s no confusing him with anybody else. When you hear him… you know it’s HIM.

            Now… can we PLEASE get somebody to press Butler’s post-Furs band Live Spit Love’s self-titled album to vinyl?

            It’s fucking laughable that there’s no vinyl of THAT that exists.

              A wonderfully quirky collection of and thatboriginally came with a fanzine called What A Nice Way To Turn Seventeen, which was run by Chris Seventeen.

              Unfortunately, the magazine was not either this when I bought it used, but that’s fine. This comp has some great stuff on it from Nikki Sudden, The Creeping Candies, The Bible Belt and The Spinning Wighats to name just a few.

              Really cool songs. Half of which I’d never heard before, which is why finding these odd little gems great!

                  Music For Films
                  1978 UK pressing

                  A very loose-y goose-y batch of songs that Eno intended for filmmakers to use in their movies, though no films in particular.

                  A lot of them are very short, and the gear that Eno used would also find its way onto David Bowie’s LOW.

                  Some of this material actually DID make it into some movies. The two most famous examples being Rock N Roll High School with The Ramones, and the killer 1986 John Woo movie A Better Tomorrow.

                  This is not something I listen to often, but since it’s snowing like a motherfucker outside right now, I figured it would be a good choice.

On the left, a tall Japanese pine tree, its branches heavy with snow, stands near a wall running parallel to the path; up ahead, a temple gate opens on a series of wide stone steps, leading up toward the temple grounds. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the winter gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

                                      For all of my friends following who enjoy and want to learn about and especially I cannot encourage you enough to look at our , specifically at the Desfile de Escola de Samba (Samba School Parade) and it's history.

                                      I used to not enjoy it, as I saw it as just Hot Woman Dancing Almost Naked tm (and, to be fair, there is a lot of it) but if you can look at it from a non-gooner perspective you will see that it is imho one of the most impressive forms of performance art.

                                      The parade has to be bound by a defined plot and history (enredo), and has to convey that to the audience through the music (samba-enredo), costumes, alegoric carts, dances and various forms of performances.

                                      Each Ala (specific hematic group within the samba school's parade) has to have a function, and has to convey that through visual means.

                                      Some of them have specific purposes, like the front commission, the first Ala of the parade, has the mission to introduce the enredo through an elaborate choreography, and may or may not be accompanied by a specific cart called the abre-alad.

                                      There is also the mestre-sala and porta-bandeira, two (sometimes three) couples of dancers thar have to carry the banner/flag (bandeira) of the school, and have to convey the enredo and set the energy of the parade through interpretive dancing.

                                      The heart of the whole parade is the bateria, the ensemble of samba instruments that actually play the music, together with the singers is governed by her queen (rainha de bateria), a stunning woman who has the job of pacing and setting the energy of the bateria. If you have heard Samba in media outside of Brazil you have probably heard what the ensemble sounds like.

                                      The Bateria is organized by the Mestre de Bateria, essentially the maestro/conductor and his (or her) team, that has to keep everything in line sounding good and innovating each year, coming up with percussive compositions that have to serve the enredo.

                                      They are (imho) the most important part of the whole parade, as they are the sonic backbone through the audience and the jurors are going to interpret and experience the parade.

                                      All of that (and way more that I could go on for paragraphs) have to enter and leave the Sapucaí, the specific street that they use to parade, within 81 minutes.

                                      Speaking of jurors, competition is fierce. Each school is judged across various subjects from 1-10, and getting even an 8 in any of the subjects is seen as disqualifying from winning the competition.

                                      The most important job is from the carnavalesco, essentially the art director of the whole thing, has to balance music, plastic arts, choreography and allegory to tell a progressing story with beginning, middle and end, all that has to be planned, executed, locked, loaded and ready to go from the music and choreography to costumes, allegoric carts, and rehearsals.

                                      It is not just Hot Woman Dancing, it is culture and some of the most impressive forms of performance art in the whole planet exactly because it pushes artists to mix many different types of art into one cohesive performance in shortish term.

                                      Although, to be completely honest there are some parades from some years that feel like they are just mindlessly sexualizing woman, but the best of the best are those that manage to tie everything together in a way that serves the enredo and most importantly of all, manage to do that while giving the watcher the sense of wonder and whimsy that a parade should.

                                      If I managed to pique your interest about Desfile de Escola de Samba, you should give it a Google and a watch! This introduction really does not give it justice.

                                        Here's one of my favorites that I've done. I just think that it turned out superbly well.

                                        There is, of course, a non-blep version of this that I made for when I want to be serious. But the blep was the original intent.

                                        It started off as just a sketch of the dragon sticking its tongue out, but it was so good that I had to make it something.

                                        A dragon and a grey fox on the forest floor, seen a little from above. The fox wears a scarf and faces away from the viewer toward the dragon. The dragon looks at the fox and sticks its tongue out.

                                                      INNER MONSTERS
                                                      Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
                                                      The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

                                                            Tried out a new brush in Procreate, not thinking too much about what I was drawing, just wanting to see where the lines went. It turned out OK I guess, but the brush is pretty awesome. Great control over flow and thickness with just a hint of texture.

                                                            If you’re curious about the brush, I’ll leave a link to the artist’s page as a comment below.

 The black and white photograph shows the young Mexican artist with her arms crossed, wearing a textured shawl, ornate drop earrings, and a multi-strand beaded necklace. Her dark hair is pulled back with a decorative ornament, and she gazes directly and intensely at the camera with her characteristic uncompromising expression.

The painting depicts a British Columbia coastal landscape with characteristic Carr elements: towering, stylized evergreen trees with distinctive peaked tops rising against a vibrant blue sky rendered with vertical brushstrokes suggesting rain or atmospheric movement. In the foreground, scattered tree stumps and a small structure occupy a clearing of vivid yellow-green grass, with dark forested mountains in the background. The "odds and ends" of the title refers to the remnants of logging—the stumps and cleared land—showing the impact of human activity on the pristine wilderness Carr spent her career documenting.

One of the most iconic paintings in art history, it shows fourteen sunflowers in various stages of bloom arranged in a simple earthenware vase signed "Vincent" in blue. The composition is dominated by brilliant yellows and golds against a pale yellow background, with the flowers ranging from fresh blooms to wilting seed heads.

The figure is lurching forward, the way a zombie would, arms hanging down. One arm is longer than the other. Its legs are oddly thin compared to its upper body. It is wearing a suit coat and tie, but the left arm of the coat is short, like a short-sleeved shirt, and the left side of the coat is higher than the right. Also pinned to the left breast of the coat is what looks like an ID card, although whatever is printed on it is not visible. The figure wears mismatched boots, one of which is open, and appears generally dysfunctional. Where its head would be is a shapeless black smudge; a void that looks like a large ink blot. At the center of the void is a small orange icon of a gas pump—the icon a car displays when it is close to running out of fuel. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

                                                                                                                                      The lead song here, “Chains”, has a dance-y vibe to it, but it’s got some angular, leanings as well… just with a more playful and fun vibe.
                                                                                                                                      Pulsing bass lines, very rhythm-driven, and a bit of a DIY production aesthetic.

                                                                                                                                      The two songs on the flip side, “Gramophone” and “Fighting” are in the same vein. Jerky guitars, some saxophones mixed in, very tongue in cheek.

                                                                                                                                      All in all, these songs are worth checking out for the bass lines alone. Fat, propulsive, and they sound great in the mix.

                                                                                                                                      Fun tunes.

Back in the Stone Age, my grad check showed I needed one more humanities class to graduate. This after a shit-ton of units already (I changed my major three times), mostly science and math, ugh. Anyway, I took an art appreciation class over the summer and it was one of the coolest classes I ever took. Now I'm all into art, among other things. I love browsing through art museums. My favorite piece here is "Raven with Salmonberry"

I've been using Sakura Gelly Rolls but the pens have this annoying thing where the ink flow is *wildly* higher when the pens are full. Makes lettering hard with new pens :/

Bekleidet ist die Frau mit dem rot-weiß gestreiften am Ausschnitt gerüschten Oberteil eines Badeanzuges um 1900. Den Hintergrund bildet ein roter Vorhang. Die dramatische Beleuchtung von unten lässt die Haut der Frau bläulich erscheinen.

Their musical approaches of each instrument are so unique, but they lock into together perfectly.
