But last night was different...
When I studied abroad in spain I found an appreciation for art. More specifically, surrealism. Salvador Dali is my man. Not only is he a fantastic artist who, started his own style of art but also he had a pet anteater which, he felt acted and treated like a dog.
Oh yes, this guy... First off, I never thought the french could get anymore odd but, then Pow, Dali jumps in a prove to me that the french are f*&%ing insane.
The Film is Called " Un Chien Andalou."
This is what wikipedia has to say...
Un Chien Andalou (French pronunciation: [œ̃ ʃjɛ̃ ɑ̃dalu], An Andalusian Dog) is a 1929 silent surrealist short film by the Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dalí.[1] It was Buñuel's first film and was initially released in 1929 to a limited showing in Paris, but became popular and ran for eight months.[2]
Dali, was a master of a form of art called surrealism. Basically its art on Acid. The main purpose of this art form is to shock the audience. The art is meant to bring its views into an uncomfortable state... forcing people to feel emotions that are outside of most comfort zones.
Why does this relate to music?...
Lets look at MTV's breakthrough artist of the year, Tyler the Creator, Earl, and the rest of a group called Odd Future.
What this Rap group does is the same as Dali. By watching both videos you will notice a feeling of anxiety. This is what made them a fad. Adolescent boys found a thrill in the ridiculousness of the gore and language of the group just like dali...
