This is NOT a painting!!!
Knee-deep with water, the rice fields of Laohuzui (Tiger’s Mouth) reflect the sky in Yuanyang, Yunnan province, China where the Hani people have grown rice for more than 700 years. The blue strips are vegetable greenhouses; the black, rows of trees and water embankments

Serious Listeners: The Strange And Frightening World Of Coil
At top is Sleazy's rejected cover for Paul McCartney's 'Tug Of War' album...Love Goes To Buildings On Fire
Hermes created a few chronological playlists, for lack of a better term, highlighting one-month spans in 1973, 1974, and 1975. From Lou Reed to Jon Gibson, Al Green to Kraftwerk, Patti Smith to Miles Davis. Enjoy.
Download
January 1973. New York City. Lou Reed's hitting the Billboard charts, the New York Dolls are playing "Trash," Meredith Monk is playing Town Hall without a musical instrument, Miles Davis is going electric, and Laurie Anderson is directing her dreams.
Download
May to June 1974. New York City. Gil Scott-Heron releases the seminal Winter in America, Kool Herc invents hip-hop in a Bronx park, Springsteen gets his big break, an early version of what will become the band Blondie plays CBGB's, Philip Glass completes Music in Twelve Parts, and a young Patti Smith records her first single.
Download
April to March 1975. New York City. Al Green plays the Felt Forum, not in the best condition; Patti Smith and Television begin their legendary seven-week residency at CBGBs, after which Smith would walk away with a major label contract; Kraftwerk plays "Autobahn" at the Beacon Theatre; and Jon Gibson, a young multi-instrumentalist and friend of Philip Glass and Steve Reich, plays "Cycles" at the Washington Square Church.

Author and critic Will Hermes uncovers the variety of revolutionary music in New York City, from rock to classical, salsa to hip hop, in his new book Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever. Chuck Klosterman says the book is "an almost perfect portrait of New York music culture: specific yet comprehensive, enthusiastic yet objective, and as informed as it is personal. The four-page section of what (seemingly) every interesting person in NYC was doing on the night of the ‘77 blackout could have been a book unto itself."

I'm sorry I just don't get Z*pp* at all...(and by posting this I have broken one of Exile's cardinal rules of never featuring him!)
I am sure some of you will enjoy this but...there are some musicians who just bore me rigid. I never get a sense of any emotion from their playing and Z*pp* certainly ticks that box for me...and have I mentioned that fugn puerile sense of 'humour'?
