How about the people who hire people to create playlists to coalesce with their interior design?

Mr. Feltes and other music stylists typically visit clients’ homes or look at photographs of them to assess their decorating styles and to understand layouts. They may also peruse clients’ music collections to learn the genres and artists they’ve liked in the past.

“Sometimes it’s truly awful stuff,” said Angus Gibson, another stylist, like “love and moonlight” soundtracks from Meg Ryan movies. His London-based company, Gibson Music, furnishes custom sound systems as well as the music to play on them for clients in Europe, Asia and the United States.

Even if the music a client likes isn’t insipid, stylists warn, it might be all wrong for a given space. “You’re not going to have Johnny Cash playing in a fantastic retreat in the West Indies,” Mr. Gibson said. “It just wouldn’t work.”

Though they consider clients’ musical preferences, stylists said they are paid to be the final arbiters of what songs work in a space. “When clients hire me, they are buying into the Coleman brand of taste,” Mr. Feltes said. Stylists typically charge between $50 and $250 per hour of music, which they usually download onto iPods but which can also be delivered on CDs.

In 2002′s “Battle of the Best,” celebrity eminences Coolio and Picabo Street selected “Quad Squad,” a video of quadruplets giggling uncontrollably, as the show’s all-time greatest clip, beating out “Chihuahua Tinkles on Big Dog” and “Chimp Sniffs Butt.”

(Bonus points awared for use of “all-time greatest”, perhaps my favoritest superlative.)

Galleri Loyal proudly presents

“SKULLS AND SHIT”
WES LANG
DONALD BAECHLER

Opening reception with the artists: Friday May 5th, 6-9 pm

This is the first time the artists Wes Lang and Donald Baechler are exhibiting together. This is a must see – a generation clash of the titans.

Wes Lang’s lusciously detailed pencil drawings of skulls are partially autobiographical. There is a playfulness in the imagery and the skeletons seem to be enjoying themselves, enjoying the life they had. “The drawings are mostly about accepting the inevitable and making the most out of the short time we have on this wonderful planet.” say Mr. Lang. “This group of drawings are made in remembrance of my dear friend Dominique Pandolfo.”

When asked why he wanted to do this show with Baechler, Lang posits, “He will prove to have a lasting influence on younger artists and he still has his hand on the pulse of what they are doing.”

Donald Baechler’s series of skull paintings and collages focuses on one of the most popular images, depicted in tattoos, warning signs, and poison bottles. The painted skulls float on playful collage backgrounds, combining innocence and wickedness. “I have an attraction to melancholia and also to a kind of ridiculousness and absurdity. I like to mix the comic and the serious into one sort of big soup.”

After party at Tranan bar with art and music from our friends Gordon and Klokie of Surface To Air.

See you friday,

That world didn’t exist when Jack and Ennis were pitching tents together, but it does now — even in the American West. Today, the tiny and stable percentage of men who are gay are free to live openly, and those who want to settle down and start families can do so without having to deceive some poor, unsuspecting woman.
