It has been clear since the 1960s that the Modernist paradigm has outlived its usefulness. We can only represent the world at the cost of a reduction in its complexity. (It is only in a story by Borges that a representation - a map - can be of the same size as the terrain it represents.) All other representations simplify, falsify. That is their power, their beauty and their danger. The templates of perception are useful because they simplify, but they lose their usefulness when, as tends to happen in time, the aspects of the world they leave out become [...]

Sunday. Is it time again already for a new mix tape? Ugh, alright. Hold on, let me get my glasses. [2 minute pause] Ah, much better. Before we get started, I figured I would reprint for you the mini top five (it's actually a top six, but who's counting!) that a lovely Swanfungus reader e-mailed me this weekend. I recently posed a rhetorical question on the topic of women, but since I actually received a legitimate response from one of you, I will reprint it for your reading pleasure. Here are the top five reasons girls like to [...]

Photo credit: Mark Sullo Last week's part one featured some excellent electric guitar playing in various styles. It was a reference to Sir Richard Bishop's fantastically titled album While My Guitar Violently Bleeds (released on Locust Music earlier this year, make sure to get the vinyl version if you have a record player, just for the beautiful artwork alone) although it did not have anything to do with the actual record itself. This second part however explores the sound of acoustic guitar instruments and comes a [...]

Boy did I get drunk last night. Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout, you are no longer my friend, no matter how deliciously alcoholic you might be. There was a period of time when I found myself "falling asleep" (blacking out?) on a pillow-covered floor for one or two minutes at a time. I don't remember stretches of conversation that occurred between myself and the person with whom I was hanging out, but I can always pretend my cognitions were fascinating and insightful.

Raven Sings The Blues
Coming very close on the heels of While My Guitar Violently Bleeds , everybody's favorite Sun City Girl has another masterpiece of guitar musings on the way. This time Bishop travels the entire map of improvisational guitar, treading ground in sun baked Eastern tones, his usual tendency towards furious speed and technique and some blues and jazz touches that seem rather new to the palette. He even expands the instrumentation on this one, featuring a lonesome lengthy piano piece and percussion on a few tracks. This is very much a Sir Richard Bishop record in the vein and spirit [...]

Shameless Complacency
Once again, I apologize for the silence around here as of late. I've been a little off lately, thinking too much and barely listening to any new music. I suppose you can only listen to so many next-big-thing albums before you become disgusted with the commercialization of music that's occurred over the past few years. Given my state of mind these past few days, it's probably not surprising that the one new album to catch my attention is distinctly "un-commercial"; Sir Richard Bishops While My Guitar Violently Bleeds . Now, as you read that title, your mind probably jumped [...]

Raven Sings The Blues
Delving into another steel string skirmish, founding Sun City Girl, Sir Richard Bishop follows up his Latitudes series release Fingering the Devil with a much more dense and long form album, While My Guitar Violently Bleeds The album consisting of 3 tracks, only one under 10 minutes. In familiar style Bishop herds the tastes of Eastern Raga and Western Blues and adds a bit of amorphous drone to the plate. Here each style is given its own centerpiece as he opens with the familiar finger plucked style that marked his last album and then moves on [...]

If it wasn't for the guitar and the way it's anchored on his knee, this photo could very easily be PR for the next best-selling self-help book, though it would be so very wrong to say Sir Richard lands among so many books to nourish his ego or as publicity; he's carefully and well read, particularly on Eastern philosophy and Hindu mythology and his latest three-piece full-length While My Guitar Violently Bleeds reads like a spiritual journey; each song is an acoustic epilogue which in turn pays homage to a particular deity, state of mind, or Eastern transcendental [...]
