“You can’t steal a gift. Bird gave the world his music, and if you can hear it you can have it” – Dizzy Gillespie
Hey all, Casey from Flora & Fauna here. A strong personal interest of mine is the positive and negative flow between creativity, copyright, and influence. I’ve excerpted portions from a wonderful essay below. But don’t take my word for it – read it yourself:
“When you live outside the law, you have to eliminate dishonesty.” The line comes from Don Siegel’s 1958 film noir, The Lineup, written by Stirling Silliphant. The film still haunts revival houses, likely thanks to Eli Wallach’s blazing portrayal of a sociopathic hit man and to Siegel’s long, sturdy auteurist career. Yet what were those words worth—to Siegel, or Silliphant, or their audience—in 1958? And again: what was the line worth when Bob Dylan heard it (presumably in some Greenwich Village repertory cinema), cleaned it up a little, and inserted it into “Absolutely Sweet Marie”? What are they worth now, to the culture at large?
Hey all, this is Adam from Flora & Fauna. We are so excited to be working with AmazingWow! We’ll be posting more in the future with news and fun shitz. For now, here are some pictures from a show last week at Wesleyan University. Hopefully we’ll see YOU at a show in the future.
Flora and Fauna, the Crooked Rain meets Willie Nelson trio, has just released their first album right here on Amazing Wow. The new album is sincere and I think sounds nothing like what we’ve got on the roster so far. You’ve all already heard my deal the eclecticism of AW music.
We’re fabulously excited to have them on board. Hopefully they’ll introduce themselves soon, but you should get acquainted yourself by downloading their new album, free as always, right here. Look for some tour dates soon as well.
