Just listening to Nicolas Godin’s Contrepoint – see @ip33 review. It strongly sounds to me like the preferred listening of the early 70s urban sophisticates depicted in David Hockney’s famous ‘Mr & Mrs Clark and Percy’ painting.
Any other suggestions of paintings prompted by albums?

Well the cat might be, being the only chilled being in shot. He is such a seething mas of barely controlled resentment that he must be a psychopath. In my experience they have no tast ein music, enjoying Neil Diamond, Abba, all that.
She? well, she has the cut of his jib, and would be listening to way beyond Joni, probably Me’Shell N’deocello or similar. Peaches, even. Men not allowed stuff.
everything is open to interprettation…..
Sorry, for a moment there I thought you were talking about me. Seething mass of barely controlled resentment? Not really my bag.
Perhaps there is an art to find the mind’s construction in the face.
From Ossie Clark’s Wiki page:
hedonistic… divorced… slow downward spiral… never recovered emotionally… strained… bankruptcy… devoid of business acumen… downfall… bitterness… deep depression… DHSS… chaotic… nomadic… working as a barman at the Sombrero Club…conversion to Buddhism… stabbed to death in his council flat by his former lover [who was born two years before this picture was painted]…
The man not the cat is a psychopath.
Altho…….
This is harder than I thought – to avoid the cliched or the cheap joke.
As such, here is a cheap joke inspired by any album of Joanna Newsom…..

You’re right Tim. Great idea but far from easy to find the right combination.
But my thinking cap is on.
Whistlers Mother
I like to think there are bluetooth in-ear headphones blasting Metallica or Megadeth
