Surrealdom (A surrealist's side quests)

  Let's look at this mystery for a moment. I had noticed this glitch as well during the COVID-19 lockdown, following the first live streaming of Curtis Mayfield Radio   by his son Cheaa on May 14, 2020 . Wait a minute, that's not Curtis at all ! When I learnt about Curtis Mayfield's death, I was on the metro subway. It was displayed on the electronic screens providing passengers with information about the next stations, giving out the current time and temperature or sharing some news. Curtis had died on December 26, 1999. I was back to work after the holidays. Not too much later, Bran Van 3000 released their song Astounded, based on 1980s archived vocal samples Mr. Mayfield had granted access to. Notice the man driving the taxi. That's Benicio del Toro. The video is directed by Paul Street. (This is the best version I could find, not the official source but from a channel belonging to a dude in Poland)   The album cover  is by the Peruvian-born artist Boris Vall...

On March 3rd, I made the appointment to get my cat Mistinguett euthanised the next day.  During that night, there would be a fire at the Maison André Breton in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. (The original without subtitles) In January 2007, Guy Girard and Marie-Dominque Massoni sent out a questionnaire to the international surrealist community. It was named Au bon endroit (At the Right Place). Here are my answers. Où se situe cette construction ? Dans un champ quelconque. Where is this building located? In a random field. Quand fut-elle bâtie ? La construction n'est pas terminée. When was it built? The construction is not yet completed. Dans quel but ? Il n'y avait pas de but précis. Les subventions pour la construction ne furent donc jamais obtenues. For what purpose? There was no specific purpose. The subsidies for construction were therefore never obtained. Qui a pu y habiter ? Voilà bien toute la beauté de la chose… Who could have lived...
