Had to halt the music posts to talk about these crazy awesome ceramic sculptures I just stumbled across. Eva Funderburgh is a ceramic artists based in Seattle. I found her work yesterday after looking at her brother Dan‘s house tour at design sponge. Great stuff. I can’t quite pinpoint what it reminds me of, but it feels sort of like a cross between something out of star wars, where the wild things are, and something that would have come out of the tar pits on Denver, the Last Dinosaur (how’s that for an awesome 80s pop culture reference?). Anyway check out more at her flickr site. More after the jump. Continue Reading
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears – Tell em What Your Name is.
I run the risk here of falling headfirst into #116, but I don’t give a damn because this is a great great album. It’s not blues, it’s not rock, it’s not soul, it’s not funk. It’s some crazy bubbling amalgamation of all of the above.
Basically, if they redid animal house tomorrow, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears could stand in for Otis Day & the Knights. The whole album has that rip-roaring juke joint feel to it that makes you want to drink like a fish and run off and do questionable things with questionable people. I can’t speak to the authenticity of Joe’s lyrics but I also don’t think that really matters. It’s not a cerebral album , it’s a fun one.
It’s an absolute steal right now for 5 bucks on Amazon. I can’t praise this enough. Go get it and let it power your more raucous summer evenings.
