Robert Dransnin on Luxuria July 4 and LuxuriaMusic Summer T-Shirts!

Tune in to this week’s Over Under Sideways Down on LuxuriaMusic.com. Show host Lee Joseph will feature special guest, the legendary Robert Drasnin. Though known by many exotica fans from the mid-90s reissue of his previously obscure 1960 Voodoo release (also known as Percussion Exotique,) Robert has had a long career as a jazz musician, composer, arranger and director of music for television and film, and is currently a music teacher at UCLA. Robert has worked on shows such as The Twilight Zone, Mission: Impossible, Wild Wild West, Lost In Space, Time Tunnel, Mannix, The Man From Uncle, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and many others — in fact this is a very partial list – for the full story, check out his IMDb page.

Bob will talk about Voodoo and his exotica comeback, Voodoo II but will focus this interview on his days in television and film. He will be bringing in cues and underscores which have never been played publicly detached from the programs and films they were written and composed for.

So tune in to Over Under Sideways Down this Wednesday, July Fourth at 3pm – 5 pm. If you miss the show – you can go to the LuxuriaMusic site and download a podcast.

This week, LuxuriaMusic unveils their new LuxuriaMusic 2012 Summertime Tee!

Brad “Tiki Shark” Parker and Miles Thompson art shows open 7/6

Brad “Tiki Shark” Parker Tales From the Tiki Lounge
Miles Thompson Warm Fuzzies, Cold Pricklies

July 6 – 29, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday, July 6th; 8-11 PM
Closing Party: Sunday, July 29, 4 pm – 7 pm

La Luz de Jesus Gallery
4633 Hollywood Blvd.
Los Angeles CA 90027
323-666-7667

Tales from the Tiki Lounge is the rarest, hardest to find, and most collectible, Pulp-Adventure publication never made. It existed only in the Mai-Tai light Zone of Brad (Tiki Shark) Parker‘s imagination. These paintings are the cover-art of the most desired and sought after issues. So precious that they are nearly beyond price, and believability.

“Brad Parker creates lurid paintings that pull in influences from tiki, comics, and rock.” – Honolulu Magazine, “The Best Of 2012 “

“My art is my personal celebration of a creative reinvention of a foolish misinterpretation of an ancient mythology that sought to solve the mystery of the “breath of life” that eternally and precariously surfs the complete expanse between the bottomless sea and the floating shadow land of preexistence in the inconceivable heights of the sky. Not just to live. But, to ‘live aloha’.” -Brad Parker

Preview Brad’s show here

Miles Thompson’s Warm Fuzzies, Cold Pricklies, a show created with Gouache on illustration board, reflects on what makes life both a beach and a bitch. It is an epitaph for the oceans and forests, once abundant and fecund (look it up, it is the root of the F bomb), now only a ghostly reminder of what an infinite life giving power they once were. There is more than just an environmental message here, Warm Fuzzies, Cold Pricklies is also a joyful reminder for us all to frolic around and about the impermanence we all face day to day while we are blessed with a heart, body and mind. Life happens between the lullaby and the nightmare, having and losing. Everything in-between is either a memory that we don’t want to fade, or which is sadly indelible.

Thompson, whose influences range from the ephemeral world of comics, animation and album cover art to centuries of fine art and sculpture, is a native Californian residing in Hollywood who draws, paints, reads, writes, hikes, runs, surfs and meditates. He is most inspired by his daughter who he calls his butterfly.
