Visual Culture in Music Culture
Louisville based Peter Berkowitz writes music critcism and interviews artists.
He just showed me his blog where his two most recent reviews are of Louisville bands and musical combos named the Photographic, Instant Camera, and VHS or Beta (groovy website).
Berkowitz on Instant Camera:
What gives Instant Camera an edge on similar groups is its ability to draw inspiration from yet another source: hints of the theatrical German cabaret style emerge in the last songs, "Terrorvision" and "Hearing Is Disbelieving."
What I find amazing are these Louisville bands' referncences to Visual Culture and Photography. Louisville is where I came from, and before me, Muhammed Ali, Hunter S. Thompson, and Louis Brandeis. But what is going on down there, now?
