Song of the Summer: "Circular Reasoning" + "Prix de beauté"
Song of the Summer - dive
in!
In advance of the upcoming full Allison Crowe video show –
here’s “sneak peek” fun in the form of her song “Circular
Reasoning” with visuals from a 1930s French silent film that also became a talkie.
"Prix de beauté” (“Beauty Prize” aka “Miss
Europe”) is directed by Augusto Genina, written by
René Clair & Georg W. Pabst and stars a radiant Louise
Brooks.
Enjoy :)
Allison Crowe has a 16-song-video-series that launches
September 2, 2014. Pairing a spectrum of recordings from
the Canadian musician with visuals from great artists and
innovators of the 20th and 21st centuries - film-makers,
animators, painters, photographers and more… - it’s a
multi-media expression of Crowe’s mission to make "Soulful.
Alive. Joyous. Grievous. Real, true, music." (

And, this collection confirms the diagnosis of Dr. H Guy
aka Allan Showalter, the world’s inimitable blogger “On
Life, Love, Lust, & Leonard Cohen” – who notes: “Once
you’ve heard one Allison Crowe song, You’ve heard one
Allison Crowe song." (

Much more on this all, naturally, to come – once we’ve
celebrated Summer in this part of the world. Right now,
it’s time for bathing suits, ice-cream, fresh berries,
bicycle bells… any and all other of life’s simple joys and
pleasures.
Sláinte!
