Trish's Obscure Eighties Playlist

Trish, you should know you started me on a tangent with your post on the facebook:

Then Ted tagged me in his response:

You're not kidding, Ted. Translator was totally amazing that night. But I love the album just as well. In fact I still have Nothing Is Saving Me on my iPod. So let's begin our playlist with that...

Title Cards

Here are the title cards for some okay movies you might know. Some of the designs, I think, are pretty stunning, particularly the older ones. It makes me wonder who made them and what that job must be like. I always wished I could design film credits for a living. I think I'd be good at that.

I Always Liked the Paintings of Stuart Davis

Stuart Davis (December 7, 1892 – June 24, 1964), was an early American modernist painter. He was well known for his jazz-influenced, proto pop art paintings of the 1940s and 1950s, bold, brash, and colorful, as well as his ashcan pictures in the early years of the 20th century.
