So, I didn’t think anyone could do Peter as well as Peter could, but Bon Iver comes close. I realize in this rendition how much of a “big indie†Gabriel is. Bon Iver keeps the things that make this magnificient, and adds a texture all of his own. It builds, I like that.
Also, with Track #2, I realize how much I love Feist’s voice. You can find out more about the Record Club (it’s a talented group of folks) here.
Bask in the brilliance:
I’ve caught a couple of more impressive movies over the last month and I’d be interested to see what you guys think of them. Up for watching these and discussing?
Even though I don’t want to set up any expectations, the first one reminded me of what might happen if Per Petterson took a stab at the vampire genre. I watched Let the Right One In and that’s the thought that kept running through my head. The vampire story is almost secondary, and I’m interested if you guys would describe the primary theme in the same way I would. There is still quite a bit of blood, but the movie doesn’t contain any of your typical “shocks†that Hollywood seems so fond of. Thank goodness this isn’t Hollywood.
The other movie is Moon, which I can’t really even describe to you without giving things away. Let’s just say, it has to do with the moon.
Anyone up for discussing these if you’ve seen them? Or watching, then discussing?
Music worth listening to this past month….
Carolina Chocolate Drops | Genuine Negro Jig
01 | Peace Behind the Bridge
02 | Trouble in Your Mind
03 | Cornbread and Butterbeans
Peter Gabriel | Scratch My Back
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, for those of you who haven’t seen it.
Every time they come out with a new video, I wonder how they’re going to top the old one. Same feeling with this one.
The Flood produced the newest showing from the Editors. It’s a lot more electronic, and it’s taken me a couple of listenings, but Editors still know how to write and craft great music.
Here are some of my favorites from In This Light & on This Evening.
01 In This Light And On This Evening
02 Papillon
03 Like Treasure
04 Walk the Fleet Road
For some reason, I can easily imagine J.E.’s art interposed on this, and him cranking and flinging the trebuchet with glee. I can imagine all of us doing this, but especially J.E. (I hope I don’t misrepresent).
I hope you guys enjoy this web game as much as I did. I finished it all in one sitting, due to my addiction to it.

I suppose this could category could designate different things for different people. It could mean art or shows that you’ve seen in the past decade, art that’s been created in the last decade, performing arts, movements in art, news about the arts, etc.
I used a photo of Kara Walker’s artwork, because I think I remember Shotts talking about seeing her show at the Walker in 2007-2008.
Let’s talk about your favorites over the past decade….
