Weimar Noir song title collage

Feb 17, 2007 20:29

I have been working on this collage for most of the afternoon and evening, and the reason it does not look like I've gotten very far is because LJ ate an earlier version. I had even written a nifty introduction explaining my motives, which I have now forgotten. As the subject tag indicates, the collage was inspired by this song list---I simply ( Read more... )

fascinating!

Yes, indeed! theoldanarchist February 18 2007, 03:03:27 UTC

Thank you! It's been difficult putting this together... especially since it disappeared once already.

I know the feeling, my own posts are less ambitious
than I suppose this project as a whole to be and yet
they take some work and time and when one disappears
and I rebuild it I feel sad...
I believe malcolm lowry the novelist lost a completed
manuscript of a novel(ultramrine? under the volcano?)
or maybe just partly completed and had to recreate it
which he did. so that was worse of a disaster.

look out for miss lotte lenya, and old lucy brown.

Mm-hmmm... theoldanarchist February 18 2007, 03:36:34 UTC

That's such an awesome idea!

Thanks! I was sitting here, and it just came to me. In part, since I put this song list together to inspire me in my writing, I felt the images might spur some new ideas.

I have actually thought about doing something of this sort in VM, yeah. Still really vaguely formed ideas, but something... I think online art would be a great idea, but always as part of something larger, sort of as a guide or blueprint for something more active.

It was good talking to you too. I really do not enjoy talking on the phone much, in part because I have such difficulty hearing people. At the same time, it's nice to actually hear people's voices.

Take care, Devin.
