I Had No Idea

This is not a rock record. It is pure pop. It's not often I think a record is great on first listen but this one hit right away. It's the perfect pop record McCartney doesn't make or an ELO record with heart. The voice reminiscent of Freedy Johnson and the songwriting deceptively simple. A mood piece and nearly a masterpiece.

Dark World Gallery Presents

Morgan Freeman
La Teneure en Matieres Grasses Mangouste
March 7 - April 3
Opening Reception: Sat. March 7 from 6 - 10pm

These paintings are roughly based on the foundation of the ideas associated to, not related, with the theories of “Clear”. ”Clear” being the ever present illumination from which we see color past and not past color to a “Progressive” work. To view is to see; whereas these works are to be seen in still darkness or a null of illumination excluding the function where the psyche concludes the absence of the work itself in relation to a new found creation by the observers understanding that the work is perpetually changing the canvas face, not for beauty but for an uncertain outcome. Its form is withered do in part to the objectification of its lacking function.

THE ASYLUM SERIES

This collection of work digs deep into the psyche of patient care and procedure during the 1940’s, which include seclusion rooms, lobotomies, and grotesque surgical techniques. Jonathan’s intimate multi-media paintings feature people and illustrations juxtaposed somewhere between healing and hurting.

The Move

Although I had a few Move compilations in my record collection for years, it wasn't until I heard the Liquor Giants spot-on cover of Fire Brigade that I went back and discovered how great their early material was. If you don't already own all the original albums the newly released Anthology is a good place to start.
