Something I really find interesting is comparing Calder to Miro here. In Miro's art, lines are VERY intentional. But in Calder's, wires are both lines which form a vital part of the composition, AND they serve almost like a puppeteer; vital to move big blocks of colored shape while being invisible in a sense.

I was really struck by this Calder painting where the portrayal of forms physically joined together or overlapping suggests that is something he found interesting in his mobiles/stabiles. And by the small models which let him loosely figure out composition and balance; I figure the payoff of a largely unpredictable artwork balanced out the need to plan meticulously.

A selection of photos from the Calder exhibit. I was caught by how not only does the composition potentially change from moment to moment but the shadow cast by the mobiles offers a 2d take on them changing.

crap. I managed to space copy pasting the description from a different SM site; anyway all these are charcoal drawings by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith.

dude it's my favorite stoner rock track, "Fuuuuuck Dude This One Riff Has Gone on for a Decade Anyone Else Want Burritos?"

the bad news is tomorrow's in person canceled without explanation but the good news is I got asked times for a Teams interview at a company I would prefer to work for.

amazing the sheer amount of how I've internalized that I can't want ANY physical beauty stuff at all, because I'm not absolutely stunningly pretty.

this time, I fell asleep so hard that I could snooze through the battle of Kursk in the next room and woke up with the TRIPLE whammy of acid reflux, needing to poop, and having a nightmare.

oh yeah it's my favorite Danny Elfman score, BATMAN VS. THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN

features "Snow Dance in the Cemetery," "Midnight Underground Circus," and "Reactor Goes Critical at Christmas"

again, not just so old that I can sing all of the Alternative Polka

not just so old I can recognize all the songs in the Alternative Polka

but so old I know exactly what happens in the Fooly Cooly AMV of the Alternative Polka

everytime you see me, my hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mike

now why did I ever pay for this junk
I hooked up 80 channels and each one stunk

just mindless blood and guts and pointless T & A
it's hammer go hammer MC Hammer yeah hammer
and the rest can go and play

Can't watch this

okay is Secret Treaties really the awesomest Blue Oyster Cult album or am I just biased by it having a song about WWII fighter planes? (see "Powerslave is the awesomest Maiden album" except also it's got songs about dueling, which rocks).

Colored another #drawing

"Which did you like better, Jedi or Empire Strikes Back?"
"Empire."
"Blasphemy."
"Empire had a better ending! I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets'frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. That's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets."

oh yeah it's that part of Empire Strikes Back when Chewie says "GRRRRAAAAAAAAAA"

This stuff is so layered and the way it's just so not a Western European/West African take on harmony but WORKS would make it a great fit for weed.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to combine weed with music already associated with eating too much.

oh NO

my introduction to Ethiopian funk/jazz was through restaurants

so now I'm listening to this completely masterful stuff and all I can think about is how much I want to stuff dulet in my face

another day, another same old feelings that there's just no chance to salvage any of this and I should probably drive out into the mountains and stick a knife in my throat. Let's have some tea and put on some music.

primitive as it may seem, yelling "hejsan! Aeothwere's gonna sing about Beowulf again!" was once the primary way of enticing people to see movies
