Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #243 - Assorted Nonesuchery for Sunday 1603.06
Hi Mom,
Show and tell this morning. Here's what I have been doing lately, listening to, looking at, thinking about.
Lots of art here, and I have tried to give all due credit.
There's some music, too, and some links of things to read.
Kind of a huge hodge podge: some from Tumblr, some from various sources on the 'net, stuff in my lists and folders.
STUFF.
Okay, DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE WOMEN: there are a few pictures of women. I have included a few because the pictures and their compositions inspire me. I was especially struck by the Korean skin care campaign photos. I see these as touchstones for a character I am writing about named Mi Mei. I see the pictures as art not so much as objectifying, fetishist fantasy explorations.
Just figured I should add that bit.
Cuz I am neurotic.
And I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
Damn.

Lately, I have been tuned into to Brian Eno's Twitter feed and Warren Ellis' Twitter feed as there are curious and interesting things afoot all the time. Ellis is running bots. Eno is posting a lot about David Bowie.

I had not heard about this band, but I discovered them in reading about the band Broadcast.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - THE BAND - CIRCA 1967-1968
The original video died, so this is an edit on 2503.06 in preparing a reprint of this post.
So here's two videos from 2023 (from the future of as this post is published in 2016).
Polyphonic Press
The self-titled album "The United States of America" by the eponymous band, released in 1968, stands as a pioneering and avant-garde masterpiece of the psychedelic and electronic music genres. Fusing elements of rock, experimental soundscapes, and politically charged lyrics, the album takes listeners on a kaleidoscopic journey through the tumultuous landscape of late 1960s America. With its innovative use of synthesizers and oscillators, the album creates an otherworldly sonic landscape that feels both futuristic and timeless. Poignant and thought-provoking, "The United States of America" album remains a symbol of countercultural creativity, pushing the boundaries of music and society.

Okay, so this is just SOME OF the stuff that I have been looking into, reading, listening to, thinking about in the last two days.
Time to get back to work... :-(

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

- Bloggery committed by chris tower - 1603.06 - 10:10 - my time - Blogger time = 7:10
NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.
