Prateek Kuhad – Favorite Peeps

Leave a reply

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad has debuted new single ‘Favorite Peeps,’ the second offering from his upcoming album, The Way That Lovers Do, which is set for arrival on May 20th via Elektra Records. Recorded at Seattle’s secluded Bear Creek Studio with Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy), the album features 11 brand-new tracks about human love, friendship, and connectivity. The Way That Lovers Do is available for preorder now via Elektra Records.

The deceptively light and sweet sounding ‘Favorite Peeps’ describes a low point in the singer’s life. “I realized how your friends and your family and people who love you , they can really help you push through the bad thoughts in your head,” Kuhad revealed. “And being there for them feels like a responsibility that gets you back on track.”

Last month, Kuhad shared intimate lead single ‘Just A Word,’ which arrived alongside a whimsical music video directed by Alex DiMarco (Khalid, Lauv, Wiz Khalifa). In celebration of the record, Kuhad also announced The Way That Lovers Do tour, a North American headline run which kicks off June 2nd in Dallas, TX. The monthlong trek includes a performance at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on June 7th before wrapping up at New York City’s Irving Plaza on June 28th.

April 19, Kuhad announced additional tour dates in San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and Boston due to overwhelming demand, with general on-sale for the new dates beginning Friday, April 22nd at 10am local time (tour itinerary below). For up-to-date ticketing information, please visit HERE.

Last year, Kuhad shared the Shehron Ke Raaz EP, a four-track collection that included an acoustic version of his 2020 breakout hit ‘Kasoor,’ and was heralded by singles ‘Tere Hi Hum’ and the EP’s title track. Kuhad returned to his Indian roots on the project, recording in Bombay and singing in Hindi as he explored the intimate, often hidden worlds that lovers create for themselves. In 2020, the artist announced his signing to Elektra Records, making history as the first solo Indian act to join the storied label. The news was heralded by the re-release of his 2018 breakthrough EP cold / mess, lauded by Atwood Magazine an “an utterly breathtaking, expansive piece of indie folk mastery.” The collection has racked up critical praise from NPR, Vulture, Billboard, Uproxx, and former President Barack Obama, who featured ‘cold / mess on his 2019 Songs of the Year playlist.

About Prateek Kuhad

Hailed by Rolling Stone India as “one of the country’s leading singer-songwriters,” Prateek Kuhad has been quietly carving out a unique role for himself as a globally recognized pop musician from India for just over a decade. Originally from the northern city of Jaipur, Kuhad, who sings in Hindi and English, easily connects with fans of all ages and backgrounds.

Earning comparisons to indie balladeers like Sufjan Stevens and Jose Gonzalez, Kuhad has generated universal praise and accolades for his pop and folk-driven songs about love and desire in all its forms. His third studio album, The Way That Lovers Do, arrives May 20th via Elektra Records and features 11 brand-new tracks about human love, friendship, and connectivity. Recorded at Seattle’s secluded Bear Creek Studio with Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy), Kuhad for the first time was writing and recording away from the circle of musicians he was accustomed to being around during the recording process. Ultimately, the process forced him to adapt and learn to work with a fresh set of collaborators, freeing his mind and arriving at Kuhadߣs most authentic album to date.

Prateek’s debut album In Tokens and Charms was an instant hit earning the artist an MTV Europe Music Award, Indie Album of the Year honors from iTunes, and the title of Best Pop Artist at the Radio City Freedom Awards. The album’s opening track, ‘Oh Love,’ captured first place in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition, which previously helped launch artists like Gotye and Passenger to global audiences. Kuhad has sold out auditorium and amphitheater dates across India, landed arena support slots with the likes of Alt-J and Mike Posner, and traveled the world for headline and festival performances in the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Canada, and France.

The Museum at Bethel Woods calls for 1969 Woodstock attendees to offer oral histories for upcoming exhibit

The Museum at Bethel Woods, the National Register Historic Site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair, is working on compiling an archive of oral histories of Woodstock from the people who experienced it firsthand. The Museum is asking festival alumni to connect, and arrange for their stories to be heard and recorded. The goal is for these combined narratives to tell the untold story of the festival, preserving them for generations to come.

“Realizing the average age of Woodstock attendees is 75 years old, now is the time to find the lost stories of the festival and save their place in history,” said Neal V. Hitch, Senior Curator, The Museum at Bethel Woods. “In order for the impact of Woodstock to be felt 100 years from now, collecting oral histories of this iconic festival is critical. It is our goal to find as many attendees as possible and document their firsthand experiences, which will also inspire the next generation of young artists, musicians, and music lovers.”

If you or someone you know was one of the almost half a million people who stood in the crowd of Max Yasgur’s farm listening to Santana, swam in Fillippini’s Pond, left a note on the Message Tree, or got stuck in traffic on 17B, The Museum at Bethel Woods wants to hear from you. With the goal to gather at least 4,500 oral histories, every perspective is valuable in rounding out the picture of the greatest festival of all time.

The award-winning 7,000 square foot Museum at Bethel Woods sits on the 800-acre campus of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts–the site of the Woodstock festival. Its permanent collection and special exhibits are a window to the 1960’s and the music cultural phenomenon. Bethel Woods is dedicated to preserving and presenting that history in a way that captivates audiences across generations.

Florence + The Machine – Free

Leave a reply

Florence + the Machine unveiled a new single, “Free” with a video starring acclaimed actor Bill Nighy as Florence’s anxiety and directed by Autumn de Wilde—listen and watch HERE. The track is the latest from Florence’s forthcoming fifth LP Dance Fever, out May 13.

Florence has shared three songs from Dance Fever thus far—”My Love” (plus remixes from co-producer Dave Bayley of Glass Animals and Meduza), “King” and “Heaven is Here“—all of which arrived alongside videos by the acclaimed director de Wilde featuring choreography by Ryan Heffington.

The Tour

Tickets for Florence’s North American headline dates this year are on sale now. The tour kicks off September 2 in Montreal with further stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl and many more. Arlo Parks, Sam Fender, King Princess, Yves Tumor, Japanese Breakfast and Wet Leg will join as support on select dates. One dollar from every ticket sold will benefit Choose Love to aid refugees worldwide. See the full schedule HERE.

Additionally, Florence will play two very special, intimate shows this spring: April 29 in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Theatre and May 6 at Lincoln Center‘s Alice Tully Hall in New York—both shows sold out in seconds.

The Album

Dance Fever was recorded in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown—clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness—and the hope of reunions to come.

The image and concept of choreomania—a Renaissance phenomenon in which groups of people danced wildly to the point of exhaustion, collapse and death—became a focal point of inspiration. Forced off the road for the first time in more than a decade, dance offered Florence propulsion, energy and a way of looking at music more choreographically.

Starting, as ever, armed with a notebook of poems and ideas, Florence had just arrived to New York in March 2020 to begin recording when Covid-19 forced a retreat to London. Holed up at home, the songs she had begun started to transform, ultimately arriving somewhere that Florence describes as “Nick Cave at the club.”

Dance Fever is an album that sees Florence at the peak of her powers, coming into a fully realized self-knowledge, poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculinity and femininity, redemption and celebration.Dance Fever was produced by Florence, Jack Antonoff and Dave Bayley of Glass Animals.

Why is it not recommended to buy bitcoin with PayPal?

Leave a reply

With time, people find a platform through which they can spend money. Many new bitcoin investing platforms are coming on the network, and it is becoming complicated for the novice to choose the right platform for investing in bitcoin. PayPal is also like an exchange such as Yuan Pay Group that provides only a payment transfer and receiving system, but now it has added some cryptocurrencies feature to buy from the same platform.

What is PayPal?

It is a payment exchange platform where you can send cash from your account to another PayPal account and receive money from your home country and foreign countries. PayPal was only the payment gateway, but the new feature of buying and selling cryptocurrencies in one platform increased the hope of this platform. So, in short, PayPal is a system of transferring national and international payments and provides the facility of selling and purchasing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Buying bitcoin through PayPal

It is straightforward to purchase or sell crypto coins with this payment gateway because the process is steady and precise. There is the following procedure for buying bitcoin in a simple way given below:-

  1. Go on the PayPal website or download the PayPal application to continue buying bitcoins.
  2. You must upload your identity documents to know about PayPal and stop the fraudulent activities.
  3. Now choose your currency according to your country, such as USD, INR, PKR, EURO etc.
  4. Enter your bank account number and verify it through a one-time password, and you can also add your bank debit or credit card for instant depositing and withdrawing from PayPal.
  5. When funds start appearing in your PayPal account, click on the UI search bar and search for Bitcoin. Then place your order by filling in the number of bitcoins, and after some time, your bitcoins will start appearing in your PayPal account.

Why should you not purchase bitcoin with this platform?

  1. Privacy Issues like Exchanges: When you go with a bitcoin exchange, they will ask for your identity since the government regulates bitcoin exchange. They have to give the data to the government according to the rules and regulations. Since PayPal is also a centralized system thus, this platform also collects users’ information, which means your privacy is not secure. But if you will go with a separate wallet (decentralized wallet), there is no privacy issue because the government does not regulate it.
  2. Exchanges Provide Better Interface: You know that thousands of bitcoin exchanges are made only for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency services. So they work only on one work such as buying and selling, trading and improving the user experience interface for smooth functioning. But PayPal becomes more complicated in one application because it provides a payment gateway in fiat currency and cryptocurrency. But people want simplification in purchasing, selling, sending, receiving or trading bitcoin.
  3. No holding of Cryptocurrencies: In actuality, the PayPal system does not have any proof of holding cryptocurrencies in users’ accounts, which means when PayPal users buy bitcoin, they are not buying bitcoin in their ownership. In simple words, PayPal bitcoin buyers buy bitcoin indirectly, but holding bitcoins is in PayPal owners’ accounts. Thus, you cannot send bitcoin to another exchange wallet or decentralized software wallet.
  4. No Private Keys: If there is no secret key to the bitcoin wallet, the owner or holder of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies is the owner or founder of PayPal. Private keys recognize the absolute ownership of bitcoin crypto coins, but in this case, you do not have control over your cash.
  5. High Fees: PayPal charges higher maintenance or management cost for bitcoin holding, buying or selling than bitcoin exchanges. Bitcoin exchanges get made to serve cryptocurrency users to minimize their fees because they provide the same service in bulk to many bitcoin users.
  6. Less Selection: PayPal does not have enough cryptocurrencies to buy, which means it deals in limited cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin etc., even though there are over thousands of cryptocurrencies available on the network. On the other hand, cryptocurrency exchanges especially come into existence to provide the trading features in the market in one application or platform.

What is a Bitcoin ATM, and why is it not recommended? 

Leave a reply

There are now multiple bitcoin ATMs worldwide, and new bitcoins are establishing rapidly because the number of cryptocurrency users is rising. Many people want to purchase bitcoins without digital fiat currency, but with physical cash, so they have to visit the bitcoin ATMs. In addition, some people like to sell cryptocurrency because they need immediate cash. When you sell bitcoins through the bitcoin ATM, you will get the cash amount as we withdraw in traditional ATMs by using our Debit or Credit card. That is why bitcoin ATMs exist worldwide to solve these types of bitcoin user problems.

What is a bitcoin ATM?

Bitcoin ATMs get invented to solve the problem of buying or selling bitcoin with domestic currency. Since web bitcoin exchanges like bitcoin-profit.com cannot provide these features, there is only one option: finding a bitcoin purchaser or seller in your local area who is willing to buy or sell for the physical domestic currency. So in simple words, Bitcoin Automated Teller Machine is a concept of Depositing domestic money and purchasing bitcoin with it and withdrawing cash by selling cryptocurrency. Thus there is no need for any bitcoin ATM card because it happens through your virtual bitcoin wallet.

Key Features of Bitcoin ATMs:

There are following key features of bitcoin wallets are given below:

  1. You do not need a physical bitcoin debit or credit card to buy or sell bitcoins because there is only a need for a virtual bitcoin wallet that you will use for the selling or buying.
  2. Bitcoin ATMs are available in urban states and cities because many people are aware of bitcoin technology and willing to buy through these platforms.
  3. You can use your domestic currency to place bitcoin orders and get fiat cash after selling through the bitcoin ATM.
  4. It provides a straightforward method for placing orders and selling, but the transactional charges are very high.

Why should you not purchase or sell bitcoin with this platform?

There are the following reasons that you should not use bitcoin ATMs for any transaction given below:

  1. Higher transactional fees: The charges for bitcoin transactions through the bitcoin ATMs are very high because they provide the feature of selling or placing orders with your home currency that no other software wallet offers. Half of the transactions go to the company that sets up the bitcoin ATMs in the city—the average bitcoin transaction charges between five to nine percent, which is very high. Hence, you can go with an exchange to buy bitcoin; otherwise, you will get charged higher fees that you cannot bear.
  2. Not available in all the locations: Many people from different areas do not know about bitcoin technology, and they do not show interest in buying or selling this cryptocurrency. The companies who set up the bitcoin ATMs first analyze the areas and bitcoin users, and after getting the report, they set up their system. If no people are interested, they do not install bitcoin ATMs. In urban cities and states, bitcoin ATMs are available in supermarket stores. A couple of people are newly introduced to bitcoin technology and want to spend it through bitcoin. Still, they do not get ATMs because there are only a couple of people, and the ATM installation company will not spend money for these couple of bitcoin users.
  3. Different features: There are multiple bitcoin ATMs in other supermarket stores with varying processing systems for purchasing and selling bitcoins. Some people who use one bitcoin ATM when going to another bitcoin ATM get confused because of the features. Some bitcoin ATMs do not provide a selling option, but others offer one.
  4. Technical Issues: Since the bitcoin ATM is also a machine, there are technical issues over the period, and sometimes transactions get cancelled. Since no third parties are working behind this network, and if you lose your bitcoin, it becomes impossible to get it back in your wallet, and you cannot contact the government to get back your bitcoins because they do not support bitcoin.
  5. No privacy: Because the bitcoin ATMs get installed by third parties, they keep track of your transactions, which means they can see how much you withdraw cash by selling and how much money you spend by buying bitcoin. Furthermore, they are obliged to give your record to the government when required, which means your transactions are not entirely private.

William Eggleston Auction

Leave a reply

A portfolio of eleven dye-transfer color photographs, shot by William Eggleston in 1983, of Elvis Presley‘s home, Graceland, will be up for auction on Sunday, May 15.  The work was commissioned by the Presley estate a year after Graceland opened to the public and six years after the death of Elvis Presley.  Eggleston’s approach to photography may seem like an unlikely choice but his status as a native of Memphis and his deep connections to the Memphis music scene (he was also a musician) made him a natural for the project. 

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Graceland opening to the public (Elvis Presley died in 1977).  Elvis, a major motion picture exploring the life and music of Presley and directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, will be released this June.

The stunning color photographs are printed using the dye-transfer method, a craft-printing process that allows tremendous control over color relations and intensity.  Considered a true innovator and master of the color dye-transfer technique, Eggleston achieved fame when the Museum of Modern Art gave him its first major one-man exhibition of color photography in 1976.  Published by Middendorf Gallery, the portfolio is part of an edition of thirty-one.  The estimated price is $250,000 – 350,000.

Also of note, are an original oil painting and collage by Robert Motherwell (estimated at $120-150,000), a sought-after set of  Robert Rauschenberg screenprints from 1971, the first known self-portrait of Carlos Almaraz, a selection of rare works by Shepard Fairey, multiple works by Raymond Pettibon and a unique Dennis Hopper printer’s proof of “Lips” (the edition was never realized).  Important photography lots include works by Joel-Peter Witkin, Steven Arnold, Charles Brittin, Robert Mapplethorpe and many others. 

Additionally, with 2022 marking the 40th Anniversary of Late Night with David Letterman, SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS is auctioning off six of the original iconic interstitial “bumpers” that aired every show.

About Santa Monica Auctions

Locally and independently owned and operated since 1984, SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS showcases mid-career and established artists of all mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, multiples and prints.  All works are vetted and scrutinized for some of the best works available from the secondary market.

More than an auction, SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS is a much-anticipated annual event that brings art and culture lovers together for a lively day of bidding at Bergamot Station Arts Center.  Held outdoors under a tent and cooled by ocean breezes, attendees will have access to popular food trucks and the opportunity to purchase significant artworks at what are often well below retail market prices.
