Baroque portal and cypresses on a Mediterranean shore by Ferdinand Keller

An ethereal female figure, cloaked like an antique column, pensive and deeply immersed in unfathomable thoughts, stands, as if sprung from the shadowy realm of a Homeric heroic epic, at the mysterious, cypress-covered bay of a dimly abysmal lyrical fantasy landscape, a place where time seems to stand still.

This almost otherworldly, ghostly dream world, idealised to elegant aloofness, springs from the dark, diffuse light and intoxicating, sultry musky haze of the sophisticated salon world of the late 19th century. In the spirit of «l'art pour l'art», this symbolist composition is detached from comprehensible plot contexts and rather a painted poem, dreamlike, albeit ominous in content.

In his later work, Ferdinand Keller abandoned the opulently staged heroism and pompous character of his history painting. Instead he devoted himself to an examination of his contemporary model, the symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin, who inspired him to create transcendent dream visions of a Mediterranean-antique character with a sombre, occult quality. Above all, Böcklin's most influential and enduringly successful pictorial invention, «The Isle of the Dead», an incunabulum of the late Romantic longing for death and of the decadent «fin de siècle», inspired the professor at the Akademie Karlsruhe to create this hitherto unknown masterpiece, which has remained in aristocratic private ownership since its creation.

Cypress Hill - Black Sunday

Continuing on my family journey, here’s one of my mom’s favorite records of all time. This one holds such a special place in my heart. Every song on this record is so deeply ingrained into my psyche from car rides to school and family road trips that even on a quick relisten it makes me feel hype in a way a lot of other great records cant. Plus, not only that, but this album literally has so many fucking classic songs for people who aren’t me as well. Cypress also went on to influence so many great artists but in particular Danny Brown who I love. Check this out if you’re looking for a hype classic hip hop record.

[VERSE 1: B-Real]:

"If I drop them dogs a broke nose gets clubbed, Then I crack that jaw 'cause you know I get raw, I remember when I used to sit on the see-saw, Now I just shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up, y'all, Ya better stand clear 'cause I know no fear, When I hit you with the baseball bat in the ear, It's gonna be on when the shit goes down, So you better be ready, clown, I cock that hammer, then I pull that trigger, Better run quick 'cause I'll put the hole right in ya, Look what I gave ya, the ill behavior, Funkdoobiest got the thirty-one flavors, Mocha, chocolate, the number-one toke up, Play your punk ass like a hand in poker, Hearts, clovers, diamonds, shrooms, Wopbabalubop balap bam boom."

-- "Wopbabalubop" (1993) by FUNKDOOBIEST (guest-starring B-Real of CYPRESS HILL)

Whattayou think makes up Cypress Hill? Concisive teaching, or very clear speaking? Ridiculous bass, aggravating treble; Rebel, renegade, must stay paid. Not by financial aid, but the break of hits, ‘Causing me to take long trips.
