1236 - Perfect Blue Buildings

Giving titles. Even (or because of) my habit of using song titles, it can be really hard.

Sometimes it takes me as long as working on the image. Here I had three of them to choose, none of them a clear winner.

In the end I decided for the one that gave me a Song of the Day. Actually I would have rather taken this one: a damaged bicycle with an infinitely twisted wheel, but really, among 34000 songs, there is exactly not a single one called “Infinity”.

Or the other one. I would have expected “Obscure” (at least that’s what I read: “Obskur”) to be a word that occurs at least once in 34000 song titles. Nothing.

Of course “Blue” was the cheap way out. 1557 songs, most of them Blues 🙂

The Song of the Day is “Perfect Blue Buildings” from the 1993 Counting Crows album “August and Everything After”. Hear it on YouTube.

You have a weird method of selecting your picture of the day... 🙂 Anyway, I really like the very-much-off-center strong diagonal tha builds that small triangle of opposite color. The end of that line, however, seems to look a bit fuzzy around the edges, so to say. I really can't make out what the graffiti is supposed to say - but the shot has an almost Japanese feeling to it. Not like an original ink drawing, more like a modern reflection of an ink drawing. Nice...

You gotta have a method huh? I mean, really, it's not always easy to find one title a day. Thanks 🙂

How about "Let's Get Twisted"? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070520015135AAcspfd This could apply to the bicycle's twisted rear wheel - I like this image very much.
