As Of Late..

..Some of you may have noticed a small decline in my postings.  Going from many post a week, down to 1 or 2.  Do not fear, for I have not forsaken ye.  I promise to return to a more consistent level of postings once I have a few new projects completed.  One of which is a small renovation on my domicile, another is trying to photographically cataloge a few hundred paintings, as well as some even bigger news.  -Get ready folks.. I, Gar Bailey aka alGARhythm, am starting my own net label!!!!  To release all past and future musical endeavors through.  As well as to release many other fine albums by a solid slice of Central Florida’s under ground musical movement.  I am also chipping away at my 3rd solo alGARhythm album, and a few other side-projects/collaborations.

Look for many of these endeavors to come to fruition in the next couple months and beyond.  I promise to keep everyone posted on the progress.

Yay! - gaR BaiLey

“One Hand Washes The Other”

This painting was gift to Mic Mell. One of 5 pieces that I gave away at random during the opening for my gART show last June. The other recipients that night included: Michael McNabb, Crystal Perry, a married couple with two kids who like Stereolab, and Mic Mell’s photographer friend.  (eYe still wanna see the pics that he took at the opening Mr. Mell.)

“Universe Man”

This is straight outta my current sketchbook.  Thought it may be a good idea for a future painting. Only on a “slightly” larger proportion.  We shall surely see.

Painting done live on “New Year’s Eve 2002″

This was piece entitled “New Year’s Eve 2002“, that I completed in one sitting.  Over the course of an evening during a New Years’s Party for some of the Orlando Cirque du Soleil performers.  DJ Bent Lee was also man’ing the vinyl rotation decks that nite, and he ending up purchasing this piece from me for an undisclosed sum of money afterwards.  (Thanx buddy, and I hope NC treats you well my friend.)

Medium:  Oil, Acrylic, & Oil Stick on Canvas
Size:  Approximately - 2 ft. x 5 ft.

Radiohead - “House of Cards” Video for Streaming or DL

The recently released Radiohead video for the track: “House Of Cards” is some high-fallutin’ high-techery at it’s finest. That’s right kids.. no cameras or lights were used in the making of this video!!  The footage by Radiohead, director: James Frost, & a multitude of unnamed technicians.. employs frickin’ laser beams!, Geometric Informatics , and other uber modern devices and formulae to create this post millenial music “video”. 

For those of you who want to see more than what Thom Yorke describes as, “the internet streaming pixellation squash” of the YouTube version and the likes.  There is a high resolution .mov file version of the video currently available for free download, thanx to Mr. Yorke and crew:
