The Golden Age

A connection string:  Max Richter > Yoann Lemoine >\; William Gedney.  Or whatever sequence you want.

Woodkid (aka Yoann Lemoine) just released this video of his homage to William Gedney, a fascinating photographer who lived mostly in obscurity but was championed by the likes of Diane Arbus.  Gedney, whose street photography I have admired for years (and I have discussed on my photography blog), died of AIDS in 1989.  Woodkid -- whose In The Golden Age album and Iron EP -- occupy favored positions in my music library, does a remix of a track from another of my favorite composers (Max Richter's "Embers" from his Memoryhouse album).

Emmys, Oh My ...

Veering off topic here.  Not that the Emmys had all that much credibility (with me, anyway) before, but where was the nomination for Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black? Or Aden Young in Rectify, or Allison Tolman in Fargo, for that matter?

Back to music soon, where things are pretty much as screwed up there, too.
