Who Shot Rock And Roll.

Last week I went to an exhibit in my Brooklyn hood entitled Who Shot Rock And Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present, and I must have stayed for hours. I'm a sucker for rock 'n roll art and I cannot wait to start my collection. One day, I will indeed be a regular at the Morrison Hotel Gallery!

"These images show the Dionysian intoxication and the fervor that are rock and roll--a music that has the potential to liberate the soul, stimulate the hormones, and inspire social and cultural revolutions"

I found these to be especially special.

So I haven't written in awhile, and I apologize if anyone has been checkin' in!  Work has been crazy busy but that doesn't mean I haven't been able to squeeze in some music delights.  To get me through the workflow & long subway rides from Brooklyn to the city, I've had a few albums on repeat, old and new.

Monsters of Folk, self-titled

Portugal. The Man, The Satanic Satanist

Eric Hutchinson, Sounds Like This

David Bowie, Hunky Dory

The Band, Greatest Hits

The Who, Live At Leeds

Jay-Z, The Blueprint 3

Muse, The Resistance

The Morning Benders, Talking Through Tin Cans

And, can't wait to hear new albums by the Black Crowes, David Gray, Moby, Flaming Lips, Weezer, Plastic Ono Band, Modest Mouse, Air, & the Avett Brothers !
