SIGUR ROS
Ágætis Byrjun (A Good Beginning)
2019 Europe 2xLP reissue
20th Anniversary Edition
I wouldn’t classify myself as a huge fan of SIGUR ROS.
In fact, this record is the only one of theirs I’ve ever liked.
I have great memories of this album from my time living and working in NYC, especially in 2000.
Riding on the subway with this in my ears, walking to work in Times Square in the rain, drunk in the back of cabs whilst trying to work my way back to Brooklyn at 4am from whatever horrible party.
Back then, living in NYC WAS like being at a horrible late night party. You’re nauseous, sick to your stomach, you’ve had a headache since you’ve gotten there… but you don’t want to leave, because you’re afraid you’ll miss the party.
No other album from that time apart from Mogwai’s Come On Die Young is more representative of my time there.

When I need a break from the current news to escape, at least for a bit.
Enter my guilty pleasure of listening to a certain variant of bizarro pranks.
Here's 1 example from Brad/‘Phone the Losers of America’ dude trying to convince apartment managers it-should- be okay to run water all the time to generate electricity for extra $$.
Anyone else listening to this kind of content?
Am I going to hell for enjoying this?
For those looking for a break from default reality I highly recommend this Longmont Potion Castle ‘prank call’. It’s NOT a typical prank call, it’s more like prank-call psychedelic performance art. Length: 3.43 minutes,
How cool is that?

I kept this watercolor painting loose and fresh to capture the beauty of the delicate butterfly and the flowers in a summer garden.
Enjoy!

I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings.
Here I have put the three paintings together in Photoshop to create a panoramic picture.
Hope you like it!

Glennis Cochrane did well from the divorce from Chuck. Despite his wealth, he had decided to represent himself, and, well, you know what they say about that. That he also decided to represent himself in the criminal assault case resulting from what happened outside the court was just icing on the cake. Court officials do not take well to being punched. 10-15 years before any chance of parole.
She sold the house, and purchased a charming heritage building near the CBD. A two story house with an attic. The estate agent said he was obliged to disclose that the house was haunted. Glennis laughed it off..
The reality was that the house really was haunted. She hadn't seen the ghost, but she'd heard it, and seen the effects.
Most noticeable was that the ghost was obsessive about the way the kitchen was set out. The pots and pans had to be just so. The crockery stacked the right way. And the pantry organised by date.
Once she'd figured that out, the ghost started on the bathroom. Then the living room.
The ghost had strong opinions about art. A Mondrian print ended up on the floor, but a Pollock reproduction stayed. Family photos were safe, but often got rearranged. Sometimes in different ways - it seemed that the ghost had moods. Her own paintings were untouched.
And that brought on the studio. Glennis had cleaned out the attic, and had a skylight put in, and set up the area as a studio. Every morning, her brushes would be cleaned, and but any work she'd covered would be uncovered.
Gradually, she started to feel someone watching her as she painted. Just the edge of a shadow out of the corner of her eye. A flicker of movement. So she started talking to the ghost.
About her day, about the divorce, about the current painting, the day's news. Just talking. When she told the presence about Chuck getting dogpiled by the court security team, she was certain she heard a hint of a giggle. And saw the hint of a figure.
---------------------------
Next we have the most famous work by Glennis Cochrane: "Past and Present" where you can see a ghostly outline of a young woman in formal late Victorian clothes on an IKEA lounge chair, illuminated by a shaft of dusty sunlight.
The artist always insisted that it was painted from a live sitting, but no attribution for the model has been found.
What am I bid?

I would like to ask the Mastodon hive- mind a question about #StainedGlass. The background story is that I went to a giant yard sale/antique sale in Frankfurt West #Germany in 1986 or so and bought these two pieces. They went in to storage, they took some damage but now I want to know more about them and possibly have at least one of them repaired. I was told that they were pulled from a small church that was being demolished years before and they'd been in a basement for a couple of generations before this person sold them to me.
So does anyone have any idea what I have here? How old are they and should I cannibalize one of them to make the other into a better piece? I'd love to build one of them into the wall of a sunny room in my house or stabilize it, frame it and backlight it as an art piece.
These are three pictures of the same piece, the other one is missing the M shape center piece (broken) but is otherwise in tact.
I look forward to your insights and any comments you choose to make and thank you for your time!
