Fascinated with the work of Paul Davies , a Australian architectural-landscape painter and sculptor. Can't help but to find some parallels between his work and Scott's , who both seem to have the ability to create "dream-like sequences", through the manipulation of layers, color and texture. In the words of Paul himself: Much of this work has been sourced from my recent visits to America and Europe. During these visits I examined The Eames House and Schindler House, both in Los Angeles, Frank Sinatra's holiday retreat in Palm Springs, The [...]
Los rumores sobre la reunión de los Happy Mondays que les comentamos hace algunos días han sido confirmados por la revista NME, asegurando que las fechas de la banda serán a lo largo del mes de mayo. Esta es la primera vez que Shaun Ryder, Bez, Gaz Whelan, Rowetta Morgan, Mark Day, Paul Davis y Paul Ryder tocarán juntos desde 1992. La última reunión fue en 2004, pero ni Mark, ni Rowetta, ni los Pauls habían estado en esas presentaciones.
Paloma got up, less than ten minutes into The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training , to go read. She muttered something about thinking Jackie Earle Haley was cute in the first movie and walked out before Kelly Leak arriving on his motorcycle kickstarted its sequel. "It's one of the greatest movies of all time," I countered, but she was unswayed and headed off with Kindle in hand. I don't think I'd seen Breaking Training since 1977, but that review was the consensus of me and my friends leaving the [...]
As a kid in Indiana, the town gym was packed for our high school's basketball games. The streets of our town were even more deserted on winter nights if Indiana or Purdue had a game on television. And yet, though there was an NBA team in Indianapolis - a mere hour or so away - I don't remember anyone really even knowing if the Indiana Pacers had a game most nights. This was during the late '70s and Bird and Magic hadn't yet raised the profile of the NBA. My friends [...]
Paul Davis was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his radio hits and solo career which started worldwide in 1970. His career encompassed soul, country and pop music. Davis had his first American Top 10 single with the ballad "I Go Crazy," which peaked at #7 in 1978. "I Go Crazy" spent 40 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, which at the time set the single-song record for most consecutive weeks on the chart in the rock era. His biggest or most well known hit was probably 65 Love Affair which was his highest charting [...]
A true and traditional British gent, Paul Davies believes in days gone by, bowler hats, three-piece suits and quintessential London life. He started out his musical career behind a mixing desk before switching sides to write and record his own material in a unique narrative style. Renowned for his cheeky-chappy demeanour, clever lyrics and 'man about town' swagger, Paul has released his debut LP 'Tradition In Modern Times' (set for release on 12th April 2010), an almost narrative album recounting gentle yet accessible tales of daily goings-on in the capital.

Friday Five : \ ˈ frī-( ˌ )dā,-dē ˈ fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes we have guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. [...]
I guess the title of this song caught my eye, and then ultimately caught my ear. Carbon Leaf has been a band that's been kind of under the radar for me. I found that I have quite a bit of their music in my iTunes… and I know I've listened to their material before, but I never really paid attention to it until this last week. I'm definitely going to pay more attention now. "Love Loss Hope Repeat" is off the album of the same name. It was released in 2006 and was their seventh studio album. [...]
