The Clientele // The Violet Hour


terraces that climb like vines towards the moon the five a sides the evening inter-city lights I see your face each time I close my eyes Jude I told you yesterday that I know nothing all my friends are loaded & they smile picking up the pieces from a bleary night away exhaust fumes, magnolias & light Helen in the art-class light yes I guess that if I stay, I'll stay all night & I know that you're not afraid but every time I close my eyes I see your face walking down to Springfield Park uneasy in the haze uneasy in the sunlight & the quiet living life without love in your mother's waiting room minute here by minute it's like dying terraces that climb like vines towards a moon that hangs above another night & streets so filled with echoing you're so tired that you believe in everything so that summer came & went & I became cold yeah I became cold yeah I became cold so that summer came & went & I became cold yeah I became cold ah I became cold

DANGEROUS MINDS Even Better Than the Real Thing: Why did Andy Warhol approve of fake art? | Will Howard

 When Andy Warhol Died

 Dangerous Minds / Bernard Gotfryd

ART

Even Better Than the Real Thing: Why did Andy Warhol approve of fake art?

"Andy Warhol was adamant that a replica of a piece of art was just as good as the original. 
As was his way, the icon of New York City cool was so adamant about this that he ruffled a hell of a lot of feathers when the Mona Lisa was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1963. The da Vinci masterpiece brought the entire museum to a standstill upon arrival, as you can imagine. Several hundred disappointed punters were turned away every day, including many who had made the trip from France to follow the masterwork around the world.

This made Warhol quip that they should have sent an exact replica, and keep exhibiting it at home to ease up on the crowds. That way, everyone would get the chance to look at the piece not as an object whose age, status and price give it value but as an actual piece of art. Does the image itself speak to you? Or is it the sense of occasion that comes from “seeing the Mona Lisa in person” that speaks to you? Now, Warhol was a troll, so there’s a decent chance that he was just pissing people off for the sake of pissing people off but there is something to be said for his line of reasoning.

Art is an industry. A huge one at that. One that takes in billions of dollars across the world and that’s due to the idea of authenticity. Capitalism has found a way of taking the idea that there’s something uniquely special about something an individual worked on and poured their heart and soul into and translated it into a monetary value. Now, putting my nauseating pinko sensibilities to one side, I do think there’s inherent value to that. It’s the same reason that it’s worth lamenting that you’ll never see The Beatles live despite the myriad Beatles tribute acts who probably do a more skilful job playing Beatles songs than the Fabs ever did.

However, should that be a reason to commodify artistic expression? Does that justify the fact that art is now an investment opportunity for the Uber wealthy that us plebs get to gawk at if we’re really well behaved? Yes, Warhol was probably being a troll when he said what he said about the Mona Lisa, but like all effective trolls, there’s a kernel of truth hidden in the centre of what he’s saying. Art should be powerful in and of itself. Going back to the music comparison, is the actual work of art Abbey Road? Or its master tapes?

This was what Warhol was getting by making works of art about cans of soup and bottles of Coca-Cola. People have this idea that by making art about this, Warhol was embracing a John Waters style love of kitsch. That he was celebrating tackiness and falseness as a form of artistic expression and finding new ways for things to be beautiful. While their probably was a little bit of that anarchic spirit in there, I don’t think it’s quite as simple as that.

I think that Warhol genuinely believed that art was, above all, an experience that one felt rather than an object. Thus, everything was art, whether that was a film showing a man’s face while he was getting a blowjob, a can of Campbell’s soup or, yes, an exact replica of the Mona Lisa.

And y’know what? I can’t help but agree with him. "

Davey Graham - She Moved Through The Fair [Hullabaloo 1963]

 Now I found this funny in that a page at YouTube forbade its colourised version of this guest spot by Davey Graham examining the connection between folk and Indian musical influences and frankly my response is GOOD! Don’t want a “colorized”version of it anyway! Shoot yourselves in the foot by all means but frankly blues.in.colour you do yourself no favours in that  . . . .  

Davey Graham  - She moved through the fair (#DADGAD)



Davey Graham introduction by Rory McEwen on the Hullabaloo show back in 1963.
  
This was the first outing for Davey Graham's new DADGAD tuning - in fact CGCFGC, capo on 2 making it DADGAD (slightly sharp of concert).  

Seated behind him, Martin Carthy on the left and Long John Baldry on the right, both regular guests on the show.  The band watching on stage is Cyril Davies' All-Stars, the residents.
Davy (or Davey) Graham (1940–2008) was a central figure in the British folk revival of the 1960s, blending traditional British and Celtic folk music with blues, jazz, and modal elements from North African, Arabic, and Indian music. His innovative style strongly influenced later folk and rock guitarists, including Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Paul Simon, and Jimmy Page.

“She Moved Through the Fair” is a traditional Irish ballad whose lyrics suggest that a dead or vanished lover returns in a dreamlike vision. The version commonly known today first appeared in Herbert Hughes’s 1909 collection of Irish folk songs. Its melody is notable for its haunting, modal character.

Graham’s 1963 guitar arrangement is historically important because it used the alternative 'DADGAD tuning', creating rich resonance through open-string drones. Rather than merely accompanying the folk melody, he transformed it into a meditative and improvisatory guitar piece with qualities reminiscent of Indian raga.

 And at that precise moment the world fell in love with the Bass player!

FULL TRACK HERE
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (live)
Talking Heads‎ - Live In Rome DVD MC 2008
Recorded live at Palaeur Arena, Rome, Italy, December 18, 1980


Interstingly (well perhaps only to me!?) but Psycho killer not my favourite Talking Heads song and found it always a bit hokey and clumsy somehow . . not as subtle as so many other well written songs but here it is vital and exciting for sure and its a crowd pleaser for sure
