Song of the Day: [04/24]



Silent Talk : Love Go’s

silenttalkcdr4

After finding out about Silent Talk from 20JazzFunkGreats, I give a listen to the rest of the songs on their myspace. From the bunch of lo-fi, dreamy, spacey, disco-tinged jams, I dig “My Risonare” & “Where Can I Go,” and I have a special soft spot for “Love Go’s.” They’re LA locals, they make custom CDs with homemade art, and the singer Kelly Crummer looks like she could be my sister  (in which case I’d tell her to not post pictures of her rump on  myspace), so I consider forking over the $15 to purchase said custom-made CD. I figure to myself: Is Silent Talk my new favorite band?  Hmmm… no. But I would buy them a sandwich to show my appreciation.  So the paypal button got clicked.

Listen to “Love Go’s” Here

The Reconstruction of Illusions


gabi_trinkaus_567

In the artists Studio, Gabi Trinkaus is surrounded by thousands of paper snippets out of fashion magazines. Trinkaus has called herself a “medium thief”, cutting up high brightness magazines into small parts, using the pictures of our desires from magazines to create her portraits and city landscapes that make references to the aesthetics of advertising and the media that surrounds us in or everyday lives. From far her images look different than when you get close and see how the collage breaks at points to meet her pencil lines, creating an obstruction of the depth,  exposing a dismantling of our perceptions of reality.
