Saving Mona Lisa : The Battle to Protect the Lourve and its Treasures from the Nazis – by Gerri Chanel.
“In August 1939, curators at the Louvre nestled the world’s most famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and spirited her away to the Loire Valley. So began the biggest evacuation of art and antiquities in history.”
At the heart of Bethlehem Steel’s new self-titled album, a lot of the same issues that popped up on the last record are interestingly still front and centre here. In singer-guitarist Becca Rhyskalczyk’s America, you’ll still find men that are assholes (not all of them of course) who continually exclude women from power, demean their achievements and even their self-worth. So while much of the album might come across uncomfortable lyrically speaking, Rhyskalczyk’s isn’t at all apologetic about it. And honestly, why should she apologies for it!? It’s an appropriate album made for our trying and politically charged world.
It’s true there is beauty to be found in every movie. Recently I watched the critically panned (hardly no one has anything nice to say about) Suicide Squad. In short, its a curious entry into the greater DC universe, especially because it focuses on a bunch of supervillians rather than heroes.
