8403. wonkers2 - 4/18/2007 10:28:33 PM There is a spectacular Richard Avedon exhibit at the Stanford Art Museum. If you're in the Bay Area it's worth a look. Avedon Exhibit 8404. wonkers2 - 4/20/2007 1:06:28 AM Hot Club of Detroit: Swing One 8405. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 4/20/2007 1:26:14 AM Thanks for those heads-up, wonk. One forgets how good Avedon was when he didn't cater to the famous . . . and the jazz accordion was a surprise too. 8406. wonkers2 - 4/20/2007 2:03:04 AM Toward the end he said he wished he'd devoted his entire career to the project. It's hard to describe how overpowering the "In the American West" prints are. They are reminiscent of Walker Evans but much more brutal. Sort of a cross between Evans and Diane Arbus. The irony of putting that show next to Jane Stanford's jewelery collection was heavy. 8407. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 4/20/2007 2:11:24 AM Are you familiar with the work of Lee Friedlander? If not, you might enjoy his work. 8408. wonkers2 - 4/20/2007 5:38:36 AM No. I'll check it out. Tnx. 8409. anomie - 4/22/2007 12:20:18 AM Bjork is on SNL tonight. Always fun to see what she's up to. 8410. arkymalarky - 4/22/2007 4:24:15 PM I saw her name recently. I thought she'd dropped off the planet. How was she on SNL? 8411. anomie - 4/22/2007 7:54:45 PM She was the inimitable Bjork, always something new, but always the same somehow. She hopped around barefoot in that way she has, and belted out incoherant lyrics from that huge mouth agape. I always get the sense that she's the only musician on stage while her "band" consists of technicians using computers and robotic percussion techniques.. This time out she also had an all female brass section dressed in ridiculous, clownish jump suits. I felt a little sorry for them actually. 8412. anomie - 4/22/2007 8:00:46 PM She was showing a little age in her face so I checked IMDB. Bjork, that young punkish-rock girl from Iceland, is 42 years-old.
I'm almost sorry to have to tell you that. 8413. alistairConnor - 4/22/2007 8:20:32 PM Hey that's OK. She's my sister. We're young.
I've always thought she had huge potential. Still hasn't found a decent producer. 8414. anomie - 4/22/2007 8:23:48 PM Oh yes. 42 is a great age. I'd do it again. I was just surprised to see it on Bjork. 8415. wonkers2 - 4/22/2007 8:59:54 PM Any Madeline Peyroux fans? 8416. arkymalarky - 4/22/2007 9:27:06 PM Hey, I heard just the other day that Maynard What''s-his-name of Tool and A Perfect Circle just turned 43. I had to call Mose and rub that in. She's always on me about the music I mostly listen to "at my age." I told her I've liked the same type of stuff forever and I'm not likely to change, so just deal with it. Maynard is among her very favorites, that geezer. Heh. 8417. wabbit - 4/26/2007 12:22:36 AM Holy HackySack, YouTube is going to replace tv. And this is a sequel ... episode 1 is here.
Take that, old chum!
8418. wonkers2 - 4/26/2007 1:46:49 AM Ha! Pretty funny, old chum! Here's Episode 2 8419. wonkers2 - 4/26/2007 9:24:28 PM The incredible Beever 8420. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 4/27/2007 2:00:16 AM Those are terrific! 8421. wabbit - 4/30/2007 4:08:52 PM 
Bjork hasn't lost her flair.
