Wild Combination

Watched the Arthur Russell documentary this weekend. Dazzling stuff, especially the performance footage and his partner's memories of their life together, which was incredibly tender and moving.

Here's a video my sis made for an annual Arthur Russell tribute party in NY (I believe this is one of the few songs he was remembered for until a couple albums worth of material surfaced in the early 2000s) and a great article from Yeti magazine about the unprecedented cross-pollination of music and art in the downtown New York scene of the 70s and 80s.
