In a nameless place: some notes on reading Anna Kavan’s Asylum Piece — Anna Evans

The Loge http://www.moma.org/collection/works/64618

In Pierre Bonnard's "The Loge," a woman adorned in a white dress and elaborate hat gazes forward from a theater box, accompanied by a companion in muted tones. Bonnard, a leading figure of the Post-Impressionist movement, captures the intimate and fleeting atmosphere of a theater outing with his signature use of color and abstraction.

Robert Rubsam

@robrubsam.bsky.social

I reviewed Luca Guadagnino's rock-brained, self-satisfied, ever-so-promising After the Hunt for @commonweal.bsky.social www.commonwealmagazine.org/rubsam-after...

at least 75% of my whole deal can be explained by the fact that the pop star I got into the most as a teenager was Marina (formerly of “and the Diamonds”)

depends on how you define “hit” (top 10, top forty, etc.) but I do think a lot of the ‘bad’ pop music from the Gaga / Cooper ASIB would have done good enough.

There's a small genre of song that's like "song created for a movie that is supposed to be a hit song within the fictional world of the movie."

Have any been actual good-enough-to-be-hits besides "Golden" and "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow?"
