Another in the "Proletkult Poetry Circus"~

Back in the day, I was asked to do a series of illos for a performance art collective known as the "Proletkult Poetry Circus". I did small black & white pieces for their readings & such. It was interesting because of the constraints involved (size & placement) coupled with the choice of subject matter (total artistic freedom therein).

Some of the pieces were successful; some were not. I think this week I'll share some of the successful ones as is my wont. Enjoy~

kiss or kill, round deux

The first "kiss or kill" ended with "mrs. love" by discoRUIDO! barley surviving, albeit somewhat raunchily. Our next contender is a fuzzy pianofied remix of U2's "Get On Your Boots" by French dancemeisters Justice. When the single first came out, reaction was muy mixed & this remix seems to have a similar reaction.

Love it or hate it? Kiss or kill it?!
You decide by your comments below...

kiss or kill, round 1

My call for either the next iTunes commercial jingle or the backing track for an upcoming trailer for an Apatow flick, "mrs. love" by Mexican band discoRUIDO! is, in my opinion, the bomb-diggity. It's fun with an undercurrent of fuzzy-freaky, kinda' the flipside to Chairlift's "Bruises". The familiar-yet-unfamiliar refrain is an interpolation of a little-known Beatles' track "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)", in case you were trying to figure it out.
But as with most things, what's funky-fresh to one bloke is not another's cup o' jasmine tea.
With that in mind, listen to the track as we inaugurate "kiss or kill" here @ ye olde "very secret monster things".
Here's the dilly-o: In the comments section, write "kiss" if you dig, "kill" if you don't~ you are the sonic judge, jury & (potential) executioner. Use your power wisely...
