(Happy Bob's day)
Dear all,
OH! I'm so excited I'm going to Paris tomorrow for an
architecture field trip ('cos that's what I study). I'm going to
take my walkman straight to the top of the Eiffel Tower and play B+S
tunes in the sun (because it will be sunny).
On the other hand we've got an 'orrible coach journey to get
there from Manchester. Although I did get a huge box of 56 packs of
Doritos free from a promo yesterday, so I'm not going to starve.
On the subject of the maturity of pop music, modern art is
similarly young (what's a few decades in 5 Millenia (is that word at
all right?)). The sculptor Brancusi said in the 20's "There has not
been any Art yet, Art is only just beginning", which I find an
inspiring thought. I think its perfectly possible to agree to the
second part of that without agreeing to the first part.
Now then...
We know what music the perfect Sinisterine listens to, we know
what poetry he/she reads and what books he has on his bookshelf, and
we have a feel for the films he likes, but what kind of house does he
live in and what kind of art does he love the most (rustic cottage,
Matisse?). What I'm wandering really is does anyone see any links
thematically or style-isticly (carnt spel nnow) between B+S and any
art or architecture?
Loved the welsh pulp fiction thing whoever that was,
Bye bye Henry
