Saw them in Vancouver on that tour too! Such a wonderful show.

It's been far too long between doses of Can.

Art Blakey, Tony Williams, and Elvin Jones—the holy trinity of jazz drumming.

Just Cory Weeds (quintet ) last week here in Vancouver - super swingin' night, they did all of Hank Mobley's "Roll Call" album and aced it! Nice to see him get some international props via Goldmine.

Impulse jazz harpist Brandee Younger wearing a t-shirt that says "Alice Coltrane For President" on the "name that tune" styled Track Star* internet show - she sure knows her 70s soul music!

"Oh my gosh": exactly what I thought when I saw #BrandeeYounger was sporting an "Alice Coltrane For President" t-shirt on Track Star*

Eggleston is widely credited with elevating color photography to a legitimate art form, at a time when the medium was primarily used for commercial purposes. His distinctive style, characterized by its vibrant use of color, unconventional compositions, and focus on capturing ordinary scenes and objects, challenged the prevailing art world norms that favored black and white photography.

A pivotal moment in Eggleston's career was his 1976 solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, which, despite initial skepticism from some critics, marked a turning point in the acceptance of color photography in fine art circles.

Eggleston's subjects often included everyday scenes from the American South. He also traveled extensively, documenting diverse places without focusing on conventional notions of meaning or beauty. His work is known for its "snapshot" aesthetic, spontaneity, and attention to detail, revealing the beauty and poetry in the mundane. He famously stated, "I am at war with the obvious."

Key technical aspects of his work include his pioneering use of the dye-transfer printing process, which allowed for the creation of vivid and saturated colors in his prints. Eggleston's influence extends beyond photography, impacting filmmaking and other visual arts. His work is housed in major museum collections worldwide, and he has received numerous awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Hasselblad Award. He continues to live and work in Memphis, Tennessee.

Happy Birthday to photographer William Eggleston, born on July 27, 1939, in Memphis, Tennessee (he was raised in Sumner, Mississippi), who in the '60s was widely credited with increasing recognition for color photography as a legitimate artistic medium to display in art galleries. More: alt text

funny how Ozzy Osbourne ends up in heaven but Hulk Hogan goes to hell

I can't understand this guy. Does anyone speak Ozzy?

I will rewatch this banger every time someone reposts it

Yes indeed, must investigate more...

All still lyrically relevant in today's effed-up social landscape...

Fun fact: Joe Keithley is an elected city councillor in Burnaby, BC right next door from where I reside!

Dorks all-round! (‘cept for Ms. Amos of course :)

Was waiting for baggage near an empty carousel at Dulles International in '94 with @jhaskins.bsky.social @bgwatson.bsky.social - nobody else around except someone we thought might've been Tori Amos - she said "Hi guys, I'm having a bad day"
