Episode Description

In this episode of Elements of Style, we’ll talk about how to find beauty in the everyday (clothing wise). Finding beauty in the everyday is something I have become to increasingly value. Every morning now and throughout the day, I tell myself “you got this.” This need to find beauty in the everyday has translated to my new obsession with everyday workwear, from drab suits to subway conductor-uniforms.

Hill of Dreams by Arthur Machen Loyal Books The novel recounts the life of a young man, Lucian Taylor, focusing on his dreamy childhood in rural Wales, in a town based on Caerleon. The Hill of Dreams of the title is an old Roman fort where Lucian has strange sensual visions, including ones of the town in the time of Roman Britain. Later it describes Lucian's attempts to make a living as an author in London, enduring poverty and suffering in the pursuit of art. Generally thought to be Machen's greatest work, it was little noticed on its publication in 1907 save in a glowing review by Alfred Douglas. It was actually written between 1895 and 1897 and has elements of the style of the decadent and aesthetic movement of the period, seen through Machen's own mystical preoccupations.

S. Gilbert Loyal Books The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humor was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humor. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab".Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense, as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banque DJ Edward Leong AKA DJ KiCkaPoo's Mixes DJ Edward Leong AKA DJ KiCkaPoO My music style can be described as Commercial Top 40s with a Twist of Tribal element.
