The Rolling Stones rock Warhol's East Hampton Pad, Montauk 1975 -
Half way through the tour, Truman Capote met the group in Kansas City. In tow was his new best friend, Lee Radziwill. The mix of rock royalty and Fortunate Four Hundred did not work well. Jagger hated Capote’s mincing manners, and Capote called Mick – "…a scared little boy… about as sexy as a pissing toad." Stones guitarist Keith Richards welcomed the cultured Radziwill by banging on her hotel door that night, screaming "Princess Radish… C'mon you old tart, there’s a party going’ downstairs!"

Back on
August 15, 2010, Aesop Rock kicked off a sprawling collaboration effort, with input by 28 artists, with
an eclectic collection of videos spanning from
music videos to
odd clips and
a Kimya Dawson recording studio dance party,
works by photographer Chrissy Piper, and
lots of music, from
unreleased tracks,
remixes, and
mixtapes. There's even a post about being
manhandled by a nude model, written by the Dwarvs front-man
Blag Dahlia. Going back to the beginning of the site, the second post was
a collection of facts about bats, and the only obvious connection back to the tragic impetus for the title of this ongoing collaboration (
900 bats) --
over 900 bats were torched to prevent disruption of work on the ongoing
renovations of the historic
Bala Quila (also spelled
Bala Qila) fort in
Alwar, Rajasthan, in north-eastern India.

Between 1938 and 1948, William P. Gottlieb wrote about and photographed the jazz world. In 1995, the Library of Congress acquired his collection of
approximately 1500 photographs covering more than 250 jazz musicians. While discussed here
seven years ago, not mentioned at that time was the fact that Mr. Gottlieb agreed to transfer his copyrights into the public domain 15 years after acquisition. Fast forward to 2010, and you will find that the Library has added high resolution TIFFs download links to the image pages (click on the thumbnail images to get to the TIFF download links).
A few pictures to whet your appetite:
Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie,
Cab Calloway,
Les Paul,
Django Reinhardt,
Nat King Cole,
Duke Ellington,
Sidney Bechet, and
Louis Armstrong.

The Jazz Loft Project - From 1957 to 1965, celebrated photojournalist W. Eugene Smith made 4,000 hours of surreptitious recordings and took 40,000 photographs in a loft in Manhattan's wholesale flower district where Roland Kirk, Thelonius Monk, Hall Overton, Charles Mingus and other jazz greats jammed until dawn. Archived in the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, the project is now accessible via a book, a traveling exhibit, a
10-part Jazz Loft series on WNYC,
NPR's Jazz Loft Project Sights & Sounds, and an interview with
JLP author Sam Stephenson, which includes some images from the book. Via a
Grain Edit post, which also has some great images.

Why should we even bother with breakfast? Here's
some more thoughts on breakfast. Hungry yet? This was a
great movie by the way. I guess
that one was okay too.
So what did you have for breakfast? [previously]

Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and Loud, Loud Music Photgrapher
Henry Horenstein's
Honky-Tonk: Portraits of Country Music, 1972-1981 captures a sound in transition. This evocative collection of informal, black-and-white portraits of country musicians and fans in bars, backstage, and on the road illustrate a decade when smoky roadhouses and
venerated venues began to give way to the more mainstream
Countrypolitan or "Nashville" sound. Seminal artists like
Mother Maybelle Carter and
Bill Monroe mingled backstage with shinier newcomers like
Dolly Parton and
Anne Murray. But even as the commercial sound was dominating, youngsters mixing with old-timers sparked
the first wave of old-time/bluegrass revival, and some of the artists who got started then still
carry the
torch for a non-Nashville sound today. In this online exhibit you can watch it all unfold.

Esfahan is home to the
Blue Mosque and other buildings with their unique
blue tiles which are beautifully shown in
photographs
by flickr's
horizon.
Esfahan is a world heritage site and is home to many examples of traditional Persian Architecture which is made up of
eight traditional forms which taken together form the foundation on which it was based in the same way that
music
was once based on a finite number of notes.

Inner City Youth, London "In 2002,
Simon Wheatley began photographing London's publich housing developments...and was able to obtain a level of intimacy with his subjects that provides a true picture of the daunting project of growing up in the intimate confines of drug use, societal neglect, and poverty."
This (Flash-based) narrated slideshow features Wheatley's work, and is a look at the culture...and also the music (
grime) "as an artistic response to the place and circumstance, an expression of the violence, bleakness, and neglect..." (via
Future Feeder)

PopExperiment "Anyway, the idea behind this site is similar to stumble: provide links and representations to (of) artists that I love. To that end I've already started populating the music, photography, visual arts and motion arts sections with some art I hope you really enjoy (and real links to the amazing artists responsible)."
