an episode of stardust
Jul. 16th, 2016 12:48 amThe Dixie Cookbook isn't an official part of ArtBeat, they were merely playing Dixieland jazz on tuba, ukulele, guitar, and clarinet.
There's an Artisan's Asylum outside CVS, which includes a watercolor of a turtle with a top hat upon its shell and a butterfly clinging to it, an old-timey photograph taped on a circuit board in a wooden frame, with kalimba keys and a lens attached, spinning discs, an iridescent disc, a black rose in a wooden box, a robot with gears for eyes, an orange translucent plastic bug bot, a Yoda figurine made from a black material, an evil C-3PO.
The theme was roots. I'm sure that Sundog wanted to play last year when the theme was Loops because what he played involved a lot of looper pedals, guitar and ukulele and the occasional vocal sample and heliumified voice. He wore an orange jumpsuit with NASA patches and carried around a space helmet and space backpack, which is a cardboard box painted with the word NASA in tape. I thought Sundog sounded familiar but maybe not. Since his persona is a traveler from outer space, it's not like he has much in the way of roots.
Mick Mondo & Streaker is described as glam rock. They mean David Bowie-style glam, not 80s hair metal. His stage persona was that of a Londoner in the early 1970s.
Latin Logic is a salsa band with multiple members from Puerto Rico, a Costa Rican, a Dominican, a Venezuelan, and a United Statisan.
Roots also make dancing somewhat awkward. It was also very hot; I am totally serious about this, by the way, hotter than it's ever been in Addis Ababa. Maybe they're just used to dancing like this in hotter Latin American countries.
Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra is Dana Colley of Morphine on baritone sax, Jonathan la Master of Cul de Sac on electric violin, guitar, guitar-that-sounds-like-a-sitar, and some kind of noisemaker, and Ken Winokur of Alloy Orchestra on junk percussion and drums. They started way too late and I don't know why. From 1967 to 1969, Ken Brown shot films to project with the Road Show light show at The Boston Tea Party, and cobbled them together with weird collage animation. The Psychedelic Cinema Orchestra composed music for this and added samples of speeches and audio artifacts and music from the late 60s depicting psychedelics, the civil rights movement, and feminism and we are all reminded that we've still a long way to go and earlier I am reminded that we have our own civil rights movement when it comes to GBLT rights and black lives matter and you know, feminism, because I don't think we quite get it: if you think "if race doesn't exist than racism doesn't exist" you're doing it wrong. So maybe that sitar was sampled. I don't know. It sounds a bit like a mashup of Crescent and Morphine. "I stumbled upon a philosopher's stone" was used somewhere familiar, and I'm going to guess Future Sound of London, but right now, I really can't be fucked to sift through my music collection. If I spend time looking this shit up, I'm not going to have time to post this.
A woman with suns and moons on her dress dances with Amy Kucharik, so I had to show her my earlier portrait of her, which I had on my iPod. She suggested staying for half of Sharq Ensemble's set and half of Amy's, which I'm going to do.
Let it be said that it's wonderful to be able to charge it now that I've cleared most of the dust out of the port.
A woman has the inscription from the One Ring tattooed around one arm and the sigils for Zalera and Zeromus tattooed on her other arm along with other symbols.
A woman has a celestial map tattooed on her shoulder. A woman has peacock feathers and an elephant god tattooed on her back. A woman has blue hair and a cat t-shirt. A woman has teal hair and steampunk glasses. A guy had neon pink hair and a ponytail that went from purple to teal. Cerulean hair. Pale blue hair.
Someone rode a bicycle festooned with tiny colorful lights. He didn't go fast enough for the colors to blur together into white. Another guy rode a bicycle with firework lights.
Elvis Depressedly is a band. The guy wearing their shirt had no idea what the artwork represented.
There was a Grateful Dead concert in Fenway Park at the same time this was happening. So the train was packed by Park Street even though it was almost 11 PM.
A woman was wearing a really elaborate bib necklace she got from her friend. Sitting next to her was a guy who looked a bit like Robert Silverberg.
I met a woman with blue hair and Little Mermaid tattoos (Flounder, Sebastian, Ariel, Ursula) and a shark of some sorts, probably a basking shark, going after Ariel because being a basking shark, it probably wants to be her friend. Her friend has pink hair and looks a bit like Jackie. Her other friend has a tattoo of some kind of skull monster.
I met a man who does puppet shows in Harvard Square and a woman with cotton candy pink hair and face paint of fireworks and glitter on her eyes.
Speaking of glitter, I tried to draw someone with glints of light on her eyes under less than adequate lighting conditions.
burning question: Can someone explain to me why ultra-expensive, gourmet food always comes in portions too small to feed a field mouse?
