KSPC Charts 8/1/11-8/7/11
Coming in at #1 for the week is Ty Segall’s latest album, Goodbye Bread, off Drag City records. On this album, Segall takes a decidedly more subdued approach to the garage pop madness that has come to characterize his solo work. Nonetheless, it makes for great summer listening, particularly those lazy days spent sitting in the shade cursing the sweltering weather. Read the rest of our charts here!
ART REVIEW: Picasso & Woody Allen
DE YOUNG MUSEUM San Francisco
I went to see the PICASSO MASTERPIECES FROM THE MUSEE NATIONAL PICASSO, PARIS collection at the DE YOUNG MUSEUM in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Woody Allen’s new movie MIDNIGHT IN PARIS renewed my interest in Picasso because of the time travel sequences to Paris in the 1920’s. The film also included guest appearances by actors playing the roles of Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cole Porter, Gertrude Stein, Degas and many more. The music was also tasteful and fit that bohemian period. You can read my blog review of Janet Klein And Her Parlor Boys’ performance at the Coffee Gallery Backstage. Her recreation of the music of the 1920’s is very accurate. Being involved in the arts, I have seen many works by Picasso. He’s not one of my favorites but he created such a diverse collection of works during his lifetime that many of them are striking and well thought out.
