Music Snobbery

Everytime I head to the gallery, I spend about an hour in the morning looking for stuff to play on the sound system because the acoustics are fantastic in a gallery. Big empty space, hard walls that reverb sound and silence. 

I am also very pleased to find yet another bunch of spinners that I have heard of but haven't really heard. Under the genre baroque pop, defined as "....a style of pop music originated in the mid 1960s that brought elements of classical music into the writing and recording of rock 'n' roll songs." 

This is how I figure out the gallery playlist for the day. 

Rialto - My favorite sort of indie, depressing indie 

Cinerama and The Waking Eyes - My band du jour 

Of Montreal - Crazy hipster-lycra-wearing-tights-vest-pretentious-obscure electronic very gay artsy i-go-to-galleries stuff. Actually maybe not on the playlist now that I think of it. 

Jem - Nice chanteuse folksy girly music 

The Divine Comedy - Same as Of Montreal, a bit too upbeat, scrap that 

Fleet Foxes - Like bohemian rhapsody, but for EVERY song. Scrap. 

Lambchop - Whispery, fly into the sky on a giant cloud of angst. Yeah, why not. 

Now a happy little song from The Cardigans - Carnival
