Fuck Yeah Words On Music

You have to find your own way to learn, after you go to school. Then it’s started.

I could talk to Graham about anything, and he usually knew more than I did, but he needed looking after. That was part of his charm. He was very loveable. There was no one cooler than Graham. He always fucked things up more fantastically than I could ever manage, which, somehow, I respected him for. If I was drunk, he managed to make me look less ridiculous by being always a little bit drunker. If I was worried about something irrational, it usually turned out that he was slightly more worried about something slightly further fetched…. I felt closer to Graham than anybody. He was my best friend; not just in the band: in the world.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

T.A.M.I. Show, 1964 [FULL LENGTH]

“T.A.M.I. Show is a 1964 concert film, released by American International Pictures. It includes performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England. It was shot by director Steve Binder and his crew from The Steve Allen Show using a precursor to High Definition television, invented by the self-taught “electronics whiz,” Bill Sargent. Electronovision” TV cameras, the second of a handful of productions that used the system. By capturing more than 800 lines of resolution at 25 frame/s, it could be converted to film via kinescope recording with sufficient enhanced resolution to allow big-screen enlargement. It is considered one of the seminal events in the pioneering of music films, and more importantly, the later concept of music videos.”

I look gaudy because I literally feel like I might be Jesus. Versace helps you feel like a baller.
