A Moog on the Moon by P. Praquin, 1977. And a space helmet reflection to add to the list being accumulated by 70s Sci-Fi Art<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Klaus “Quadro” Schulze<\/a>. I’ve owned many of his solo albums over the years, and while they’re historically important for the part they played in developing the kosmische<\/em> sound in the 1970s I’ve never been very enthusiastic about the music. The albums I prefer are the ones where he was working with others, whether as a drummer in Ash Ra Tempel, an inadvertent member of the fake Cosmic Jokers supergroup, or part of the genuine Cosmic Couriers supergroup that made Tarot<\/em><\/a>. The Tonwelle<\/em><\/a> album credited to “Richard Wahnfried” benefits considerably from the presence of Manuel G\u00f6ttsching and Michael Schrieve (also a rumoured Carlos Santana); I recommend it. For a taste of the synth-doodling Schulze, here he is in analogue heaven<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Next month, Luminous Procuress<\/em><\/a>, a film by Steven Arnold (previously<\/a>), is released for the first time on blu-ray by Second Run: “Exploding out of San Francisco\u2019s vibrant late-60s counter-culture, Luminous Procuress<\/em> is a psychedelic odyssey of unabashed hedonism. The only feature film by artist, mystic and polymath Steven Arnold, the film celebrates gender-fluidity and pan-sexuality in a voyeuristic phantasmagorical journey towards spiritual ecstasy.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Whereas [Bernard] Herrmann worked predominantly with strings and [John] Carpenter with synths, Anderson wanted to evoke a similar atmosphere with guitars.” Greg “The Lord” Anderson<\/a> talks to Dan Franklin about making an album of night music.<\/p>\n

I am troubled by how often people talk about likability when they talk about art.<\/p>\n

I am troubled by how often our protagonists are supposed to live impeccable, sin-free lives, extolling the right virtues in the right order\u2014when we, the audience, do not and never have, no matter what we perform for those around us.<\/p>\n

I am troubled by the word \u201cproblematic,\u201d mostly because of how fundamentally undescriptive it is. Tell me that something is xenophobic, condescending, clich\u00e9d, unspeakably stupid, or some other constellation of descriptors. Then I will decide whether I agree, based on the intersection of that thing with my particular set of values and aesthetics. But by saying it is problematic you are saying that it constitutes or presents a problem, to which my first instinct is to reply: I hope so.<\/p>\n

Art is the realm of the problem. Art chews on problems, turns them over, examines them, breaks them open, breaks us open against them. Art contains a myriad of problems, dislocations, uncertainties. Doesn\u2019t it? If not, then what?<\/p>\n
