That Old Devil Called Love ~ Billie Holiday
I wanted to make Thursdays here at the Flimwell Papers Music Corner songs from the Grand Ladies of Music. And you don’t much bigger or great than this one….
as always for your fine considerations.
This Ol’Geezer had a chance to get caught up with Laurie Long recently and thought this image from her show a few years ago in San Jose would be fine for you all….t’is the Bonne Nuit Image of Day…puns….what could we say more than “a little tied up” before our relax trip down the river Styx with warm coco and hot almond meschsweig cookes.
Laurie Long, Airplane SOS, from the series Becoming Nancy Drew.
“I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men’s minds without their being aware of the fact.” ~ Claude Levi Strauss
R.I.P. Claude Levi Strauss 100 and passed away on Saturday
I only got around to reading his obit today and was remembering many of his great ideas and how much I liked his work on myths, a fave of the Flimwell Papers for sure.
Variety - Nan Goldin
‘There is a popular notion, that the photographer is by nature a voyeur, the last one invited to the party. But I’m not crashing; this is my party. This is my family, my history.’ Nan Goldin
There is something gritty and stuck about life in here. You could boil yourself in bleech, scrub up with an ocean of soap and suds….and the seemier side of this life would still cling to your nightmares. But I return to those through Nan Goldin’s — It’s the Flimwell Papers Image of Broken Realities Photo of the Week file for your condsiderations.
Nan Goldin appeared on the art scene in the late 1970s, her tough, autobiographical frankness quickly established her in the all-male field of diaristic photographers.
Chatapap - the staged cough, sniff or throat clear you have to do in order to prevent people barging into a lavatorty that has no lock on the door. The real art, requiring precise volume and timingm, is to get it to sound coincidental rather than panicked. Rookies, and the shier ones prefer continuous humming!
Classic Cars - Bright Eyes
I heard this tune awhile back and it — it..well it took me back and forward at the same time…so it’s The Flimwell Papers Summit New For An Old Geezer Tune of the Week for your considerations.
Remedios Varo “The Calling” (1961) - fine artist indeed and in the circle of Frida Kahlo, Giorgio de Chirico, even Max Ernst.
The keenest vision in the dark is required
it’s only a week from you but already you are slipping away
like a receeding shoreline from a racing boat
postcards, a phone call or two, five texts, one email late in the evening
and you’re gone into a place called “Ended Loves History”
It’s like never having seen you now
except in the tiniest of fragments of other friends lives. ~ PDv Morris
just before i go
and make it mad dash across the River Styx into the arms of Morpheus….
The Flimwell Papers Beatles Photo of the Week file
sends this for your considerations.
Bonne Nuit, all ye Tumbler Goddesses and Gawds
which came first the chicken or the kid…..smoke’em if you got kids!
Thanks, Leo.
