Sharing my awful Ministry-loving taste with you

...and my good Electric Eels loving taste too.

I'm sharing my music blog finds here:

A Special Series For Art Pop

Shawn Petsche wrote a mean tag line for Art Pop:
"ABOUT ART POP
POP Montreal’s visual arts component presents emerging, innovative, and celebrated artistic talents from outside of established art canons who are hyper-engaged with/within the points of intersection between music and visual arts (fuck dance, let’s art), high and low art (in a non-boring way), and the transcendent experience with the everyday (lordavmerceh)."

Until this past year, most of my titles were drawn from songs or literature. I got to thinking today about my initial proposal to Shawn for the show with Marie-Douce that has become "Machine Molle". I had some idea about working with the titles that had been drawn from song lyrics. In the name of that aborted idea, I am going to be posting images of paintings with titles drawn from song lyrics and the songs they are drawn from in the weeks leading up to my show in the festival. And maybe a bit more about music in the studio and the musicians I count as close colleagues.

The Jacobites.

I've not got much about painting today. But something just as good, that resulted in a lot of my titles.
Robespierre's Velvet Basement by the Jacobites is my favourite record of all time. I've listened to it almost daily for the past 2 years. Thanks to this post on the Commercial Zone blog, everyone can download it and love it as much as I do.
Somehow this record got missed by a lot of people. The prettiest songwriting I know.
