Congratulations! You’ve officially been TACO MANNED… AGAIN! (See last week’s LLOG BLOG issue for details.)
Hiho! Welcome to this week’s edition of the LLOG BLOG, your first stop on the journey to find out what is going on in the world of Arts and Cultures.
Yes, per the title seen above, we have returned to the old fan favorite: The BURRITO EDITION! YES! Seriously, who does not like burritos. I wouldn’t trust whomever just raised their hand. Seriously.
ART: INTRODUCTION:
But before we get to that, allow me to reintroduce myself. Due to some major reconfigs in the LOGMAN INDUSTRIES LTD LLC organization, I am now the sole editor of this wholly comprehensive weekly international Arts and Culture online magazine. I’m Matthew Logman. NBD.
Right on, Logman.
We have a fantastic group of writers and contributors, but I will list them with pictures later.
ART: MOVIES
Oh boy, Oh boy. We are getting really close to award season. So, as a Culturally responsible Arts mag, we simply must talk movies for a bit.
“Begonia” the movie.
I’ve heard a lot about this movie but I haven’t seen it yet. However, when I was younger, I listened to that album “Paul’s Botique” by the Beastie Boys probably 10,000* times. All the way through. And I’m not kidding.**
The Beastie Boys. Rad.
Well, on the track “Posse in Effect” (yes, I had to look up the title because I’m just not good at remembering titles. More on that later.) there is this line that they say “…and you know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda.”
Abe Vigoda. So Demure. So Mindful.
Well for years I thought they were saying, “…and you know I’ve got rhymes like A BEGONIA.” Which, at the time and up to a week or so ago, I had no idea what a “begonia” was and just assumed it was some cool NYC way to say something that rhymed very very well. Or a wiener… I guess if wieners rhymed well?
I don’t know why I never looked it up until last week. But, now I know that it is Abe Vigota the Beatie Boys were talking about and I also know know that a begonia is a flower. Or a plant, I guess?
The LMI Fact Checking Dept has yet to get back to me regarding the quality/quantity of the rhyme stylings of Abe Vigoda, so on that I have no comment for now.
Not Begonia.
Also not Begonia, but pretty rad! (Oaxaca)
Okay, Let’s get back on track here…
ART: MUSIC & BURRITOS:
For this special issue, we wanted to find something in music that went with the theme a little bit.
The Flying Burrito Brothers “Last of the Red Hot Burritos” 1972 A&M Records
This record is pretty good. It’s live. My friend has studio recorded album of theirs that it even better but I can’t remember the title of that one.
If you have never heard of Gram Parsons, we recommend you check him out. Super talented and interesting person.
Gram Parsons. Rad.
ART: VISUAL ART AND BURRITOS:
Let’s take the whirl-wind tour around to the LMI Studios and see what everyone came up with for this month’s very special issue of the LLOG BLOG:
“Dancing Burrito Guy” LMI 2026. LMI Creative Studios: Seattle
Hmmm. Okay. Not a lot of effort there, but pretty standard fare.
What else do we have here…
Picture from Casa Bonita in Denver, CO. LMI Creative Division Dayton, OH.
Okay, not their fault on this one. They misunderstood the assignment. We sent our Dayton branch to visit this incredible place in Denver, CO and they all ate burritos there. Reviews of the food and ambiance were explosive.
Okay, maybe better luck from… NY…
Image found on internet. LMI Creative Division: Brooklyn NYC.
Okay. They totally missed the point. UGH, Brooklyn. Do better next time.
Searching, searching, searching… oh here’s a good one!…
“Volcano Burrito” Computer Illustration. P. Genouack, LMI Creative Granby, CO.
Whoa! Pat really delivered this week. They are a team of one up at the Granby LMI Campus. We’ll be looking for more Art product from them in the near future.
Let’s find one more…
“Guy Jumping” Digital Picture. LMI Creative Campus, Portland, OR.
Seriously. Dang it, Portland. Every time. This has nothing to do with this week’s Special Edition Theme. This is just a picture of a guy jumping.
Okay, We’ve run out of time.
Please go out and be nice to somebody this week. And do something creative. And have a Loggy Week.***
Loggy Day.
*Probably realistically like 650-750 times?
**Probably kidding.
