A History of True Detective’s New Theme Song, ‘Nevermind’

Going into the premiere episode of True Detective season two, we knew the answers to almost all of the show’s most basic, production-based mysteries: who’d star, who’d direct, and where the season would be set. But there was still one crucial piece of the puzzle missing: Who would sing the theme song? As we learned, the answer to that question turned out to be pretty awesome: none other than Leonard Cohen.

Jugend magazine cover (Issue 47) by Julie Wolfthorn, 1897.

Julie Wolfthorn (1864-1944) was a German-Jewish female painter who created many illustrations for Jugend and was a well known and established portrait painter in Germany. Since the art schools did not accept women at that time, she travelled to Paris in the 1890′s to learn painting techniques and skills. She later became involved with the Berlin Secession and became a prominent member of it. Among her clients and friends were many female artists and important figures in society. Her life did not end well though. She later died in her 70′s at a camp established by the SS for Jewish citizens. She was said to have continued her drawing despite the horrific conditions there.

This poster advertising the 1934 Levant Fair in Tel Aviv, and glass lantern slide showing the Fair at night, both from our collection, convey the modern architecture and the excitement of this international exhibition which aimed to create economic ties between Israel and foreign countries. .

Today I bought a siddur for Shabbat and weekdays which we also use in both synagogues I’m going to. I have no clue yet when to recite which prayers at home but I hope I will learn it soon. (Help is warmly welcome!)
