Super excited for Nolens Volens official release party!

vinyl, records and covers by artists: a collection Guy Schraenen
For more than 30 years, Guy Schraenen’s fascination with artists’ multiples (objects, catalogues, books, magazines) has led him to amass a unique and highly specialised collection on the theme of sound. Vinyl shows LPs from an acoustic and visual angle to illustrate how artists from the 1920s and throughout the twentieth century have experimented with language and sound. The exhibition presents close to 800 albums alongside tapes, CDs, specialist magazines, reference books, catalogues and artworks. As artists began to work with sound, and as records and covers became media for the visual arts, a new and extremely creative art form appeared.
I think this is the appropriate time for me to say “It doesn’t get any cooler than this”.

After what feels like YEARS AND DECADES AND A REALLY LONG TIME of waiting The Deadly Syndrome has finally announced their new album Nolens Volens* will be available March 23, and if you have heard any of their new stuff (which, because I am lucky, have) it is amazing and next level and I can not WAIT to get my hands on the whole album.
You haven’t heard any of their newest stuff? What? That’s ok. Go to their site right now and get on their email list, you get a free download of Wingwalker which is a kickass song! I know I am being a little shmoozy right now, but it’s only because I care about you guys and want you to be listening to good music. Also, their emails are actually really funny, so I know that you will enjoy them.
*I may have named this. I may be a muse. You may be jealous. That’s normal.

Tarfest tonight at the El Rey! The Deadly Syndrome is playing, and I hear they will be doing some new stuff too. You should probably go. I’ll be there, so you know it’s awesome.

I got this book for my glorious and wonderful mother for her birthday this weekend. I think she really likes it. Or at least that is what she tells me.
