Im not super familiar with it, i just know a decent amount about it. I played it for the first time a couple years ago. Never beat it or anything. But it deserves all the praise it gets for sure

Martín Ramírez (January 30, 1895 – February 17, 1963) was a self-taught artist who spent most of his adult life institutionalized in California mental hospitals, diagnosed as a catatonic schizophrenic. He is considered by some to be one of the 20th century's best self-taught masters.
At DeWitt, a visiting professor of psychology and art, Tarmo Pasto, came across Ramírez's work and began to save the large-scale works Ramírez made using available materials, including brown paper bags, scraps of examining-table paper, and book pages glued together with a paste made of potatoes and saliva.


interesting dude
Always fascinating to see great painters/illustrators who have no formal education and how that manifests in their work. Also interesting how a lot of artists who have schizoaffective disorders tend to create works that have a mythology of their own.
His story really reminds me of Henry Darger. This is a pretty good video. Someone might look at his work and see that he primarily created these worlds inhabited by little girls (sometimes being hanged) as creepy. When you learn that his mother died giving birth to his sister (who he never got to meet) along with the other things he went through it starts to make more sense. Also I might me misremebering this but iirc he was writing a book that was something like 10,000 pages long. Can't remember if it was lost. Anyway his story puts into perspective a glimpse into why people with extremely unusual (and devastating) upbringings - and the mental disorders that manifest as a result of them, are often impossibly creative/brilliant individuals

it was alot more blockbustery. I think maybe something was lost from how much of a vibe the first one was. it did take me 3 watches to finally fully open up to the first one so not sure where youre at. Timmy still no Kyle Mclaughlin.

Find anything else you like on Elvis?
Also that Foxygen
I haven’t listened to the full Elvis record, but the couple tracks we’ve talked about have been in rotation. I plan on listening to the whole thing later today.

Seem if you can find the essay that came in the liner notes. Contextualizes his place in popular music pretty succinctly iirc.

Apple Music includes a nice introduction about it that contextualized it.

still cool to hear it from a 1956 perspective, back when they still called blues "rhythm" music

Just listened. Loved it. Other than the two we already talked about—the first few tracks, Long Tall Sally, Paralyzed, and How’s The World Treating You are highlights, but there’s not a weak song on it.

Anyplace Is Paradise another low-key classic
almost like a more rollicking version of Heartbreak Hotel, such a jazzy outro

referring to him as a "commercial folk music" singer is interesting too
