Art for arts sake; cross my palm with silver.
Caravaggio, as we all know, executed two versions of his painting The Fortune Teller :
Fortune Teller (1594)
Fortune Teller (1595)
Without being the ones to compare ourselves to the Italian baroque master painter, the similarities are too obvious to ignore. Firstly there is the fact the we also loosely work in the baroque pop mould. And (as if that were not enough) we also made two versions of a piece of art - our song (Laid In Grass) - both incarnations of which appeared on a recent digital single.
One of these versions is to awarded the Acoustic Track Of The Week all next week from the 31st May on Garageband.com. (Thus featuring in their podcast, and feature pages). How do we know this in advance you ask? Let us just say that Caravaggio is not the only one with a Fortune Teller.
Feel free to pop over there, read some nice reviews, read some scathing reviews, and then come back here for more art history lessons.
