Guilt is a rope that wears thin.

On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
— George Orwell

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, and snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

GRÜVOLOGY Live Recording Sessions

"Grüvology has been well received by jazz and r&b audiences in Buffalo, in particular as the recent opening act for Alex Bugnon at the Tralf Music Hall. Solid musicianship based on a strong musical background and education combined with appealing improvisations, original compositions and arrangements of jazz and r&b standards as well as live performances at a high energy level contribute to win over audiences who enjoy live and spontaneous interaction of musicians based on a solid "grüv". grüvology is intent on pushing the envelope, keeping the spirit of jazz alive and vibrant by being open to many musical influences and incorporating them into their compositions and improvisations. Audiences note the band's ability to segue from a tightly constructed composition to creating improvised music on the fly or improvising a backing track for a poetry reading. Moving now into their 3rd year of playing together the band has gone past the level of the jazz standards cover band, and has developed a level of intuition and instinctive interaction which allows it to freely spin a composition into a new and unanticipated performance."

Beyond/IN Western New York 2010

Something I listened to this week...

It's only been three and a half months of daily listening. It still sounds lean and mean and fresh and deep and sublime. Amazing stuff.

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence, one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.

Yippie Kay Yay, MF and Don't Let the Washington Monument Hit You On The Way Out

I thought I was too jaded to be surprised by anything political, but this was no week for the jaded. I was caught completely off guard. Not by the emotion of Inauguration Day. Not by Chief Justice Roberts flubbing the Oath of Office. Not by the insane numbers of people braving the cold. But after the Oath, as President Obama began escorting former President Numbnuts off the premises, I was overcome by the emotion of watching this aging cheerleader leave. Holy shit, he's actually leaving!

There was a small measure of hilarity about it too, as he stumbled up the steps of the helicopter and gave what can only be described as a klutzy wave goodbye, an ignominious salutation befitting the legacy of turddom he was leaving behind. It was an interesting measure of just what a failure this guy was that he couldn't even wave goodbye with grace. Richard NIxon, at the depth of the deepest valley of failure, had enough gumption to swing himself around, plaster a whopping smile on his mug and flash his arms in emphatic (albeit ironic) victory signs. Nixon at least recognized that even amid tragedy, history leaves space for pomp. Chucklehead Charlie looked like nothing so much as the last unwanted guest to leave a house party where the house has been utterly trashed. Then the helicopter flew away. Wow. I had not anticipated the deep jubilation of that moment. The near-unbelievable aspect to it. Then a journalist on CNN became, to my ears, the first to utter the words "former President Bush" and the historic page felt fully and completely turned.

And President Obama's Reality Smackdown aka The Inaugural Address—I was struck by this deep thinking man with his wild combination of enthusiasm, optimism, and nonchalant humility. He went so far later that day to explain how all this this was not about him. Well, okay, but I would have been immensely satisfied had President Obama's first words in his Address been "I have earned political capital...and I intend to spend it!" but our President is too gracious to stoop that low, even to deliver a Zinger For the Ages. I hope they work that line into the impending SNL skit. They could cut to Laura turning to Georgie and whispering, "Hon, you got served!"

I tried not to wallow too long in the schadenfreuden of one man's graceless fall and momentarily imagined what might be going on in Bizarro World. Bizarro George Bush might have foiled the 9/11 terrorist plans altogether. Or he may have risen to the occasion and stayed there, steeling the country with compassionate conservatism to such a degree that when Katrina hit, he'd be stacking sandbags and rescuing people from rooftops before the storm had even died down. But Bizarro World isn't real. We'll have to settle for the real which, four days into President Tall Cool One's tenure, still feels sufficiently bizarre and imaginary and...unreal. But there he is. He's doing things. Everyone's calling him Mr. President. We are good to go.

Welcome to the 21st century, America. It wouldn't have been the same without you.

GB Jones' The Lollypop Generation

"Toronto artist and Queercore legend G.B. Jones (founding member of the band Fifth Column and co-publisher with Bruce LaBruce of the fanzine J.D.s) visits Hallwalls to present her latest film, over a decade in the making. Shot on Super 8, the loose-knit narrative follows a "cabal of baby-faced hooligans, queer punks and hustlers as they lick suckers, make out and make mischief in seedy alleyways and crash pads across North America!" (Sarah Liss, Eye Weekly) THE LOLLIPOP GENERATION tells the story of a runaway teenager 'Georgie' (Jena von Brücker), and the people she meets on the street. At the same time, the film serves a diaristic function, documenting the characters and the cities to which Jones traveled over the course of 13 years. With performances by Vaginal Davis, Anonymous Boy, Scott Treleavan, Jen Smith, Joel Gibb, and with music by The Hidden Cameras and Bunny & the Lakers among others!"

"The severe economic downturn reveals an ugly truth about the art world, that despite the surface pretensions to progressive and radical thought, the economics of the art business are as cutthroat and reactionary as the most unregulated hedge fund or predatory investment bank."

artnet Finch

"Rist’s installation is an impregnation and an incantation. It is also an exorcism. As I’ve said in these pages before, MoMA is—even with this show and the current Marlene Dumas survey—a place where very little work by women is on view, at least in the permanent collection. Rist’s installation comments on and reacts to this misogyny."

"It was during a vacation in Corsica in 2001 that Mr. Belmondo had a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body and left him unable to speak for six months."

"Because of his popularity, a bad sign to many art world insiders, Wyeth came to represent middle-class values and ideals that modernism claimed to reject, so that arguments about his work extended beyond painting to societal splits along class, geographical and educational lines. One art historian, in response to a 1977 survey in Art News magazine about the most underrated and overrated artists of the century, nominated Wyeth for both categories."

Something I listened to this week...

(vinyl) From 1962, you might expect this album of cover versions to be a pale imitation of the originals, but it's a pretty great album, done as a deep homage to one of the musicians who had most influenced Darin. I'm predisposed to both Bobby Darin and cover versions so maybe I would have liked it anyway. But it far exceeded those common denominators.The band is tight, the backup singers are great, the production is crisp and alive, and Darin sounds extremely comfortable with the material. It wouldn't be fair to compare these to the originals but if you did, you'd be hard-pressed to describe Darin's renditions as lesser versions. I thought this was a rollicking r&b album from start to finish. I would put this on at a party. It was so good, I listened to it twice in a row and enjoyed it even more the second time. In the album liner notes, Darin says "We were not trying to imitate, emulate or assume a position, we just wanted to get into the same groove, get the same feeling. Making this album was one of the biggest kicks of my life." Dig.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

There Has To Be A Morning After

Okay, history pop quiz. Which President left office under the greatest cloud of disgrace: Richard Nixon or George W. Bush? Ooh, tough call. As I'm sure I've related to many of you, the day I came down from Toronto to interview at Hallwalls was Election Day 2000. I headed back to Hogtown after a good interview, with the notion that it might not be so bad to move to the Land Of Gore. Had anyone told me that all that was awaiting us was eight years of President Skippy McFuckwad, I probably would have come anyway, though the optimism might have drained from my body a lot sooner. Had he even tried to be a compassionate conservative, I would be more than game to give him some props. Instead, he decided it might just be the best thing for the country if he were a grade A turd. So, regrettably, he leaves office the way he entered office: an overprivileged fratboy for whom everyone else has done the heavy lifting. He's no smarter for the experience and all this save-my-legacy humility he has tried to wield of late does not even rise to the level of farce. It's fine for Skippy to point out that there have been no terrorist attacks since 9/11. It might have been slightly more useful had he been paying some kind of attention to these issues in August 2001 while he was enjoying his four-week paid vacation. Well, shit happens. He's going back to the ranch to work on his pecs. Here's hoping we are back on the right side of the looking glass.

And now...we get to spend the next 4-8 years watching a vibrant young man turn old and gray before our eyes. If I got to choose the song for the Inauguration, it would be The Temptations' Ball of Confusion. Oh, great GoogaMooga, can't you hear me talking to you...

"San Francisco based artist Sarah Klein has curated a collection of works by established filmmakers and visual artists who use this animation technique to "tell stories, examine visual phenomena, and make political statements in this collection of short videos. The animators breathe life into magazine cutouts, homemade drawings, everyday objects, and even the body itself. The result is a selection of videos that are humorous, poignant, and marvelous."

Lee Goreas • Stars & Pars
New works about Astronomy, Golf and Art History

37 years ago in early February 1971 astronaut Alan Shepard became the person to hit a golf ball on the surface of the moon. He used a makeshift six iron and two balls he smuggled onto Apollo 14. Before he left the surface of the moon he hit both balls into the landscape of the moon. Toronto artist Lee Goreas' current body of work brings together four things of great importance to the artist: drawing, astronomy, sculpture and golf. Within these seemingly disparate subjects are a raft of cross-current and connections that touch upon ideas of scale, mass, time, space and history. The pencil crayon drawings for Stars & Pars combine art history with popular culture—more specifically, the popular sport of golf is combined with the less popular history of Modern sculpture. Within each drawing, a sculpture by a historically-significant artist is situated within an imaginary golf course landscape in a humorous and ludicrous hybrid. Respect for the integrity and importance of the sculptures—and the lush modernism of imagined greens—is maintained as a new aesthetic terrain is suggested. Included in Goreas' hypothetical Post Modern Sculpture Park are works by Rachel Whiteread, Robert Smithson, Joseph Beuys and Louise Bourgeois.

Jennifer Locke • Actions

The work of San Francisco artist Jennifer Locke examines power structures in relation to voyeurism, the body, and technological mediation. Working in performance, short-form video, and digital photography, Locke's work uses the body (often hers) as bait within a paradigm that references the artist/model relationship, bdsm, and more recently, wrestling. Locke's camera functions as the voyeur mediting these relationships and creating a framework within which Desire is rearticulated, disciplined, and delivered through its presence and its gaze. Locke positions herself as artist, as desired object, and as voyeur in an attempt to dominate the viewer but is ultimately subsumed by the truly dominant performer, the camera.

Charles Gayle/Han Bennink Duo

"Gayle's music is spiritual, and heavily inspired by the Old and New Testaments. He has explicitly dedicated several albums to God. His childhood was influenced by religion, and his musical roots trace to gospel, boogie-woogie and ragtime music. After his church experiences, Gayle credits among his influences Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Thelonious Monk, and Art Tatum. He has performed and recorded with Cecil Taylor, William Parker, and Rashied Ali among many others."
