Saw these pics, via @LDN on twitter and immediately wanted to do a post. i am pretty sure that most people have at some stage, likely when a kid, have played with or just watched bubbles. using washing up liquid instead of that special stuff they sell. i've always been amazed by those folks on saturday night tv shows who can do all kinds of mad stuff with bubbles.
so, off i went and searched 'bubbles' in iTunes but nothing hit the spot. then i started going through my 'electronic' genre in iTunes and this came on.
i can easily think of bubbles when listening to this and vice-versa.
enough words can't really be spoken about this man, Arthur Russell. i highly recommend that you go to pitchfork for this 2004 review. the first two paragraphs are especially good.
"There was the world of Indian master-musician Ali Akbar Khan, in which Arthur used his cello to trance-inducing effect. There was the world where his cello shadowed the beat-poet Allen Ginsburg at readings...then there was the world of disco music, where one night in 1977, a DJ saved his life."
wikipedia also cover this extraordinary life well.
