Forever Changes



From my recent trip to the UK: Here's an interesting art exhibition named after on the classic psychedelic folk album Forever Changes, a classic LA psych/rock/folk album.

Jim Lambie's exhibition Forever Changes is:
An exhibition of new work by the Glasgow-based artist... including a spectacular vinyl floor and several new sculptures.

The Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art is free, just like most of the museums in the city, as they're owned by the public.

That could never happen here, of course. Except when a gallery is re-opened after a renovation. And it'll be packed as hell.

Alone Again Or - Love


This tune, probably the most well known on the album, was listed as #436 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs a couple years back. It's a really interesting mix of flavours and genres, it combines all sorts of instrumentation to produce a vibe that is very psychedelic but also very unique.






Don't worry, they're mostly crap records. We checked. No sense in putting that rare Sonics bootleg in there; it won't do any good for the art.

There was at least one Carole King Tapestry album in there, though there's around 200 billion pressings of that pop masterpiece, I suppose it's really not that big of a deal to toss a couple in a piece of abstract art for the good of the cause.
