On the run to the outside of everything

Sat, 21 Mar 2020 23:30:11 +0000

“We all… apprehend the land imperfectly, even when we go to the trouble to wander in it. Our perceptions are colored by preconception and desire. The physical landscape is an unstructured abode of space and time and is not entirely fathomable; but this does not necessarily put us at a disadvantage in seeking to know it. Believing them to be fundamentally mysterious in their form and color, the varieties of life inherent in them, in the tactile qualities of their soils, the sound of the violent fall of rain upon them, the smell of their buds – believing landscapes to be mysterious aggregations, it becomes easier to approach them.”
Barry Lopez
Arctic Dreams (p. 230)
1986

As we have already glimpsed and will continue to discover, we are able to expand our awareness beyond the perceived limitations of our own person - Ervin László

The Bees in Your Backyard

Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:57:51 +0000

Honeybees can be managed in hives because in nature they congregate in tree cavities, but 70 percent of wild bees nest in the ground, often as solitary insects or as a congregation of loners: Think of an apartment building full of singles. Maybe as many as a third of bees evolved to feed off a given flower or flower family. The others are generalists and will devour whatever nectar and pollen is around. - Adrian Higgins

Jimmy Smith - Live In France '69

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 22:25:11 +0000

Jimmy Smith boasts an incredible 90-minute concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in his classic trio format (with longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden and drummer Charlie Crosby), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'Sonnymoon For Two,' the classic ballads 'Alfie' and 'Satin Doll,' as well as a blinding 23-minute version of his showcase number 'The Sermon.' - Amazon

Confiding // Complete Strangers // Vetiver

Sat, 28 Mar 2015 16:15:29 +0000

After a 3-year gap since their last album, SF-based indie-folk group Vetiver released their new LP Complete Strangers, including this track titled "Confiding". Lead singer/songwriter Andy Cabic remarked about the album's songs:

“They share things in common but come from different places, different times... As with many of Vetiver’s better moments, sunshine is only a chord away from melancholy. An introspective lyric underlies an extroverted chorus. Subtlety tries to be outgoing, loneliness familiar, in an effort to connect the dots of life’s ellipsis.” -Andy Cabic of Vetiver

"This film took 300,000 photos, riots, wildfires, paintings in abandoned houses, two years and zero graphics to make. It changed my entire life. Circle of Abstract Ritual began as an exploration of the idea that creation and destruction might be the same thing." www.jeff-frost.com
