- Milton Glaser, Master Designer of ‘I ♥ NY’ Logo, Is Dead at 91In World Outside The Window·30 June 2020He was also a founder of New York magazine, created a memorable Bob Dylan poster and produced designs for everything from supermarkets to restaurants to “Mad Men.” by William Grimes | New York Times June 26, 2020 Milton Glaser, a graphic designer who changed the vocabulary of American visual culture in the 1960s and ’70s with his brightly colored, extroverted posters, magazines, book covers and record sleeves, notably his 1967 poster of Bob Dylan with psychedelic hair and his “I ♥ NY” logo, died on Friday, his 91st birthday, in Manhattan. His wife and only immediate survivor, Shirley Glaser, said the cause was a stroke. He also had renal failure. Mr. Glaser brought wit, whimsy, narrative and skilled drawing to commercial art at a time when advertising was dominated by the severe strictures of modernism on one hand and the cozy realism of magazines like The Saturday Evening Post on the other. At Push Pin Studios, which he and several former Cooper Union classmates formed in 1954, he opened up design to myriad influences and styles that began to grab the attention of magazines and advertising agencies, largely through the studio’s influential promotional publication, the Push Pin Almanack (later renamed Push Pin Monthly Graphic). “We were excited by the very idea that we could use anything in the visual history of humankind as influence,” Mr. Glaser, who designed more than 400 posters over the course of his career, said in an interview for the book “The Push Pin Graphic: A Quarter Century of Innovative Design and Illustration” (2004). “Art Nouveau, Chinese wash drawing, German woodcuts, American primitive paintings, the Viennese secession and cartoons of the ’30s were an endless source of inspiration,” he added. “All the things that the doctrine of orthodox modernism seemed to have contempt for — ornamentation, narrative illustration, visual ambiguity — attracted us.” more .2459

Looking forward to seeing you all in November! 😊24427

- Martin PhillippsIn World Outside The Window29 July 2024Thank you for acknowledging Martin's passing, Alec, and for sharing the link to Pink Frost - one of the greatest recordings to ever be committed to 7" vinyl. I live in Dunedin, Martin's home town, and loved his music dearly. I met and chatted with him a couple of times - he was a really nice person. Desperately sad that he should leave us so suddenly, and so (relatively) young, but his music will live on forever. RIP Martin.24

- Single Track of the DayIn World Outside The Window1 November 2024Thank goodness I always took/take really good care of all my vinyl, albums and singles alike. The sad part for me, and quite a big regret, is letting many go, maybe due to slightly tougher times, as a younger man. A lot of which would be very difficult to find and replace nowadays, and one would suspect, quite a drain on the old wallet too....I do still have quite a decent vinyl collection though, with quite a few sought after rarities, in the mix, so I can't complain really.2

- What were the amps you used on the Metropolis Live sessions with the Gentlemen Rocketeers?In William's World·4 March 2023Greetings Bill Crying To The Sky is one of the best guitar sounds ever IMHO and have always been a huge fan your tone. I see you were using a modelling amp at this gig at Metropolis studios. Was it a FRACTAL unit? We are touring shortly and am thinking of moving to the dark side and would be very interested in learning what you used then - bearing in mind it was a long time ago and technology has moved on. Much love. Simon24455
- Atmosphere, Nostalgia and GhostsIn World Outside The Window26 July 2022Captivating Pictures from a Stroll Around Soho on March 15 1966 On March 15 1966, and keeping the Hollies and Nancy Sinatra from the top spot, the Walker Brothers were number one with the pop masterpiece The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore). The front pages of the newspapers were all about Mohamed Yusuf Daar who had become the first ‘coloured’ policeman in Britain when he joined the Coventry police force, earning £800 per year for the privilege. The other main story the papers covered was about the Conservative party leader Edward Heath who had let it be known that he could do business with de Gaulle and that it would be Tory policy to join the Common Market. On this day someone, for some reason, walked around Soho and took some pictures, and here they are: For anyone not aware, when multiple images are in one post, if you click the first image (or any image) you will go into 'slide-show' mode, which is a much better viewing experience, with the option to enlarge the images..😉24
- Your Favourite Promo Music Vid'sIn World Outside The Window12 January 2022[@Tourist] good points. I posted the new track called ‘Beatmaker’ in Single Track of the Day recently. It’s brilliant. Beatmaker I like his record ‘Witchazel’ and gradually listening to the rest. I’m relatively new to him, beginning with the TV series ‘What We Do In The Shadows,’ which I didn’t like at the time but I knew that it was great, whether I liked it or not. Binged ‘Garth Marenghi's Darkplace’ and that was really good and reminded me of ‘Shadows.’ Binged all of ‘Toast of London’ and liked that as well. I’ve seen the first episode of ‘Toast of Tinseltown’ and that’s also good. The details are always interesting in all these spoof television things. Please check out my most recent post at ‘Separated At Birth.’ It’s very dense in a specific way and very light in a specific way, his creativity, not unlike ‘Flight of the Conchords’ which makes it so understandable why or how he worked with Jemaine Clement in ‘Shadows.’24
- Sassafras..anyone else remember them?In World Outside The Window30 November 2024I remember the name Sassafras. Quite well but in the early 70's there was so much choice to listen to. I remember being home on leave (Nottingham) in '71 and was thrilled to get tickets for Atomic Rooster, The Groundhogs, and The Strawbs (with Rick Wakeman). Loved those bands ever since. The Groundhogs must have been promoting Split, with Atomic promoting Death Walks Behind You and The Strawbs promoting From The Witchwood. It used to be a little frustrating being in training and seeing bands you hope to see and no real chance to see them. I recall after Chicken Shack released Imagination Lady in (I think '71 also) - they were shown playing in Devizes. I had recently been posted to Bulford. Me and a mate attempted to get there by bus and soon realised we'd never make it. So we went to the NAAFI and got pissed.24
