Just found this post but have to add -- I'm stoked this band is from my town and I get to see them end of this month live. So freaking great to see others are hearing them too outside of Denver. My sister, a native american but gone now, wouldn't have dug the music but would have loved the spirit and the words.

That sounds great and would be much more my thing too. Small bars, loud music. Let's go.

Watch the movie and you'll see the people it was facing had the same thought.

Cool. Maybe just try a free tuta account for a while and see what you think?

I went from gmail to Tuta and it's great. I told gmail to forward all mail to tuta then delete it. Over time then, when I saw a message come in from gmail, I took a moment to change my email on that service or told that person to update their address book. So I didn't have to deal with it all at once.

I have a basic account (with 1 custom domain and 5 addresses) but yes, I've always understood you get unlimited at the higher levels.

Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, The Scream, has become one of the iconic images of world art. His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Travel brought new influences and outlets. In Paris, he learned much from Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, especially their use of colour. In Berlin, he met the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg, whom he painted, as he embarked on his major canon The Frieze of Life, depicting a series of deeply-felt themes such as love, anxiety, jealousy and betrayal, steeped in atmosphere.

Japanese, 1786 – 1865

Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III (三代 歌川 豊国 Sandai Utagawa Toyokuni), was the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.

At the end of the Edo period (1603–1867), Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi and Kunisada were the three best representatives of the Japanese color woodcut in Edo (capital city of Japan, now Tokyo). However, among European and American collectors of Japanese prints, beginning in the late 19th and early 20th century, all three of these artists were actually regarded as rather inferior to the greats of classical ukiyo-e, and therefore as having contributed considerably to the downfall of their art. For this reason, some referred to their works as "decadent".

Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, exhibited in the 1874 ("exhibition of rejects") initiated by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon.

Imagine you lived in the 1800s, before radio or TV. How were you entertained? You had theater, and parades, and books. And, once or twice a year, (depending on where you live) a circus would come through your town.

I am endlessly fascinated by the history of the circus, in the US and around the world and just had to share this collection of poster art I came across.

If you were a kid in a small, rural town, how could you not be excited to see these posters go up in your town?

Circuses had all sorts of terrible practices and it's good we've moved on from them mostly now, but looking back, I find this all really interesting.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (colloquially referred to as the Snyder Cut) is the 2021 director's cut of the 2017 American superhero film Justice League, the fifth film set within the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) based on the team of the same name appearing in DC publications and the follow-up to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). It is intended to match director Zack Snyder's original vision for the film, prior to his departure from the production and subsequent studio interference. The film follows Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller), and Superman (Henry Cavill) as they form an alliance to stop the extradimensional New God Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) and his army of Parademons from conquering Earth for his overlord Darkseid (Ray Porter).

New album, just released today.

Moody and atmospheric music, if you dig it.

Fourth Page: Meaning of a Nest is the highly anticipated fourth studio album, and second with Edition Records, by renowned South Korean/ Amsterdam based drummer and visionary composer Sun-Mi Hong solidifying Hong’s position as one of the most inventive and creative drummers and musicians of her generation. Meaning of a Nest, embodies the album’s exploration of home and community, reflecting Hong’s decade-long journey from South Korea to Amsterdam and her efforts to build new networks and establish roots in a vibrant new environment.

 

The meeting of Ennio and Chet in 1962 was a sublime encounter and couldn't have come at a better time for both artists. For years, many Chet Baker fans weren’t even aware these four Italian sides existed, as the four RCA songs weren't released outside of Italy until the early 2000s. For another, when most listeners reach for the singing Baker, they usually turn to his work with pianist Russ Freeman, although these four Italian tracks are easily in the same league.
