- The Beiderbecke Affair is a weblog that concerns itself with things literary while also indulging its proprietor's rather unrelated interests in the early jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke and Korean culture, history, and politics.
About the Banner
The banner image is a detail from Grant Wood’s “Young Corn.” Now owned by the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Community School District, it was painted in 1931: the same year Bix Beiderbecke died and a year after Wood painted “American Gothic.”
So Sayeth Snoop
- “But I somehow, some way, keep coming up with funky-ass shit, like, every single day.”
Mixes
So Sayeth Merle
- “We don’t make a party out of lovin’.”
Love Thyself
So Sayeth Aldous
- “Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
