In my mind, a lot of good bands’ “new album” came out a decade ago, and then the band broke up and all its members started side projects, and then those side projects broke up, because I’m thirty years old. This is obviously unacceptable, and so I’ve been wading through the waist-deep swamp that is genuinely fresh music.
Anything labeled “new music” in one of these newsletters came out within the last month. I’m trying!
Works of Art by Michael Hutter. I’ve carefully selected a couple that haven’t got any bare breasts in them; be aware that all of the other ones have nipples.
Dr. Emporio Efiks (on Facebook), who is probably not a real doctor, posted a picture of a barn find. If it’s not a Zimmer or an Excalibur, what is it? Also, sorry, what’s a Zimmer?
This was my intro to the weird world of “neoclassic cars.” Descendants of the coach building industry, boutique manufacturers like Zimmer— I’m editorializing here, bear with me— put ridiculous body kits on ordinary luxury autos, and charge rich people a lot of money for them.
Many of the products of this industry are— again, this is my personal opinion— incredibly cool. Did you know that the very wealthy, freed entirely from the limits of good taste, get to drive cartoon cars?
Buy yourself a Zimmer, used, if you’ve got the urge, but know that buyers of real taste prefer Stutz automobiles of a certain age. As to the mystery up above, some people seem very sure that limo in the barn is a Stageway, like this one, or a Marquis, as shown in the below ad. My money is on it being a Sunrise, a tiny operation that’s got a Wikipedia article in German, for those who want to know more.
Luna Ana Art is a where an artist posts some illustrations. Via The Occult Artists Collective, also a tumblr.
New music: Weird Carolina by Camp Trash. (Spotify or YouTube). Emo, or pop punk? Anyway, this song is about people moving away. “I’m not going to Georgia or North Carolina / The mountains don’t know my name.”
New music: SPLIT! (Mix 2) by Jhariah. (Bandcamp or Spotify or YouTube), but only the Bandcamp link has this exact new mix— the original release was eons ago, August 2020. I found out about Jhariah on The Alternative, a music site run by one of the guys from Camp Trash. It’s all connected, man.
Old music: 16 by Green Day, 1990. (Spotify or YouTube).
That’s the third issue. Hope you liked the pictures of cars.
