These are the 2 paintings by MICHAEL WILLIAMS that CANADA sold for him, in their
booth at the first ever MILWAUKEE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR, which ran from
October 20-21, 2006.
It’s rumored that Michael Williams will be given a one man show at CANADA to start off their FALL 2007 season.
more on the MILWAUKEE ART FAIR
RIGHT NOW:
You can see some of Michael Williams’ small paintings, in a really neat group show,
called ‘Goose Steppin’, along with work by JOE BRADLEY and EUNICE KIM, at atm Gallery.
What’s so interesting about the show is its extreme and airy, but totally abstract nature.
Even the Michael Williams paintings are very abstract.

The Annuals debut CD – BE HE ME, is a joyous musical celebration
that also uses, in unpretentious ways, ‘found sounds’, i.e. the sound of crickets.
This band has been compared to that seminal 90’s goup, OLIVIA TREMOR CONTROL,
for their use of quirky twists in the music. For all their technical bravado, they do not lose
sight of the emotional states at the core of the music. When it all comes together, as in
‘Brother’, ‘Fair’, and ‘Sway’, the results are awe-inspiring.
The sound is full, confident and straight ahead exuberant. Not to be missed, if you
like a ‘white man’s’ reggae !

Let me begin by saying that JOANNA NEWSOM’S 2003 debut CD, Milk-eyed Mender,
was probably one of the best CDs of that year, so the expectations for her second release,
were very high. I’ve been anxiously waiting for this CD for a year and a half.
In fact, 2 years ago, I heard an early bottlegged version of “Cosima” – what became,
in a more refined version, the 5th and last song on her new CD, titled Ys.
And just like the GRIZZLY BEAR CD, YELLOW HOUSE , this is a serious
musical document that reveals its gems, only through serious listening. The songs
run long, averaging between 10 and 15 minutes each, therefore I would recommend
that the listener play one song at a time, and really get a feel for it, before moving
forward.
The involvement of Van Dyke Parks, Steve Albini, and Jim O’Rourke, makes
for a state-of-the-art Indie production.
This is a great CD, even though, or maybe because, it makes demands on the listener.

The new GRIZZLY BEAR CD, YELLOW HOUSE, is a fine example of the
experimental direction some Indie groups are taking. This Brooklyn based group,
which has been compared to ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, because of their use of the human
voice as an instrument, has made a serious musical document. Having said that, the
listeners’ approach to the music must be serious. Casual entertainment seekers
might not be fulfilled by this music. The tracks should be approached one at a time,
it takes a few listens to get into the nuances of each song.
One of the best songs is “Knife” – a roller coaster ride of musical highs and lows,
with great lyrics to boot.
If you are willing to put in the time – the rewards will be huge.
