Scenes From Blue Acid City


Blackness, sound of bong rip, fade in:

Stoned Woman in Red) Do you think Baudelaire ever wrote about extra terrestrials?

Stoned Woman in White )
(annoyed) Charles Baudelaire didn’t write about aliens.

Stoned Woman in Red) I know, but he smoked hash, I think he should have tried smoking through an Alien Bong,

Stoned Woman Behind Couch)I guess………maybe…….

maybe he might not have found hashish as ‘troubling’.

or such a ‘chaotic demon’ if he had smoked it through an alien bong.

(get's up and goes to window...continues talking)

I think that by placing an absolutely alien object at the center…

where you actually consume the hash….

That would have tempered the suspension of his smoking and knowing subject.


Stoned Woman in Red)
His alienated self would have a external substitute … in his field of vision.

Stoned Woman in White)
(annoyed) well I don't know..... I never had that problem.

THIS IS WHAT CAME UP:














(cross reference of paris and big resulted in paris big head doll)

Editorial reviews
...too many tracks on this soundtrack feel like historical Aztec field recordings....Still, these mambos, bandas, and vocal-group oldies offer a useful introduction to barrio tastes... - Rating: B

AZTEC FIELD RECORDINGS?
barrio tastes?

i wonder what this anonymous wonder would write about the soundtrack to "I'm Bout It"

NO REASON REALLY...

AND OF COURSE MY FAVORITE...














Nathalie Djurberg!



This is some installation video of Nathalie Djurberg 's new show at Fondazione Prada, which I guess just opened.

The first time I saw her stuff was a couple years ago now. I was pretty spun.

After my friends and me did a puppet show for this one gallery, I got stoned at the afterparty, then got ushered through a series of increasingly psycho techno parties, and we all had to take e to stay awake.

As I was leaving the last party one of the people I was with, ran into her friend on the way to the Berlin Bienalle, so we tagged along and I had the benefit of being shown around the place by a gentle, sober, serious-artist type.

I saw an animation called Tiger Licking Girl's Butt by Nathalie Djurberg and have always wanted see some more.

Now my favorite tech/design/fashion art blog we make money, not art has a piece on her.

I'm not really into tech, design, fashion or art which is why I think this blog is so rad.

It was started by Regine Debatty and for a long time she was the only one writing it. She has so much enthusiasm, insight, and writing skill that often I suddenly start caring about stuff I didn't think I cared about.

I saw lots of totally excellent work at that Bienalle and unusually for big shows like it,
I can remember it all, I credit the drugs.

A FAILED EXPERIMENT IS STILL AN EXPERIMENT

I FIND MY INSPIRATION IN FAILURE...

sounds morbid but most of my favorite albums i find in the clearance section of your local record store

commercial failure isn't necessarily artistic failure

the most popular artists of our generation started off from the bottom

Hall & Oates:



their psyche-rock album?

that's what it's been called

again...

early 70's
label not sure how to market them
blah blah blah


bought it for $2.99 sealed



THIRD FROM THE LEFT: DARYL HALL




PRE HALL AND OATES "HOBBIT ROCK" ALBUM BY THE BAND GULLIVER...

Even after they had some success, Hall & Oates were a bit misunderstood, probably due to a few BOLD decisions:



known as the "silver album"

great album, contains the song "sara smile"

the cover raised a few questions about their "relationship"
the inner sleeve didn't help either, you're gonna have to find that one for yourself, it kinda looks like the cover to lovesexy



oops, wrong one:



except the Hall and Oates inner sleeve is hot pink...

recognize the guy on the right?





how about now?



pre "piano man"

yet another "hobbit rock" album

ummm...

the ska band the graduate had a hit in the U.K. in the late 70's


that was a few years before this album:
how about some hip-hop:
drugs drugs drugs, they did 'em, they hit the tape hard...
schooly d and the beastie boys on acid?




post X-clan project from brother j
probably the most perfect hip-hop concept album in existence

introduction by "ellis dee" hmmm....
prince paul production
rhymes about naked lunch
then he went on to front She Wants Revenge


what a perfect album about having your heart broken
Basehead were the first "hip-hop" band I ever heard played on alternative rock radio



blues?






purists hated "electric mud" by blues legend Muddy Waters for bringing blues classics into a psyche vein

it later turned into a sought after record for hip-hop dj's and sample artists...

but this one from the same period is the one



SAME STUDIO, SAME CONCPET, STILL OUT OF PRINT
drums drums drums....

sometimes a record is meant to be a failure:


no one seemed to get the joke
(he's a mime)
the record is 30 minutes of silence with applause at the end
the program repeats on both sides
i gladly paid $15 for it

then there are artistic failures that never seem to die:


AAAAAAH! 70'S SOFTLIT BOLTON!!!



NOOOOOOOOOOO! 80'S HAIR METAL BOLTON!!!
(this is when he was opening for Motley Crue)

and the most horrific...



GOOD LORD! MICHAEL BOLTON SINGS OPERA IN ITALIAN!!
message to michael:
go climb a rock, a really high one, then jump off, your screams of agony will sound just like your music, or maybe that was me screaming when i had to listen to you sing arias.







well, here's an abridged track record for yours truly:









but hey, i gotta good feeling about this one:

word...
luv
