best contemp-0 musician? I say yes.
Zach CONdon does gypsy right.

gulag orkester was easily my favorite album of 2006, and Beirut were amazing live when i saw them in toronto, and i dont think many psych folk/folk/freak folk ETC... bands are any good live.


opinions?

I still haven't heard Beirut...

Have you rearranged Damien Hirst's Acid Diethylamide, Bunbury?
Nice.

Hirst is a twat, he makes my eyes bleed. I saw one of his things, 'God' I think, and it left me lukewarm. He's one of the biggest flim flam merchants of modern times.

They got a song called "Bratislava". That's about the only thing I like about them.

Hey, you made my writing red and added stuff!

I'm pretty sure the piece I saw was a bit different. It was wider and had a mirrored back to it I think. And the stuff in it was more ordered if that makes sense.

There were some massive Joseph Beuys wax lump things next to it which pleased me more...I was a bit bored so I scraped some of the Beuys wax sculpture under my fingernails when the guard wasn't looking.

It was a quite dissapointing gallery and the Hirst thing made me want to smash stuff.

he bores me. he pretends to be a gypsy for some years in eastern europe and returns a god. no, fuck it.

my opinion of course, but boring to myself.

you TOUCHED the beuys!
oh god i just vomitted in my mouth a little.

I am going to be "working" (frantically replying to emails via blackberry and ignoring visiters) at a gallery next month, i dont quite know yet how i'll deal w/ art touchers like yrself, severed hands? (Ref. Allah 5:33 "punishment for theft")

FYI: that was probably beuys fat you were scratching.

how do you feel about Beuys?


I think hes very interesting yet, inSINcere?...
do you really buy his whole tARTar rescue story? i dont. I also dont like how he claims to be this shamanic healer of the people and then simultaneously compares his audience to dead hares (illus. 1.)/idiots/simpletons etc...

I find alot of people consider him inauthentic, because hes from brooklyn/new mexico? and not actually russian/east european etc... if he was russian would that change anything?

i dont see anything wrong w/ that, he's influenced by eastern europe so he uses it in his work.

and he's no where as near as "prentenious" about it as those dirty hemp wearing neo-hippy/folky devandra banheart types. (Ref. Hayden A.-"Jah Bless")

I'm not sure about that. I don't hear many Eastern European music influences in his music...Maybe some distant Balkan touches here and there, maybe a bit Romania, but not so much I guess. Sounds a lot more Southeast to me (Albania/Turkey)

i like that thing that hirst made out of zillions of dead flies stuck together with tar. and also that butterfly stuck in paint, although i think he should have used more than just one butterfly.
