Queen Margot: July 2010
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 July 2010. How often do you stay in a hotel and there's only one option on the menu? I have to say, in my adult life, I don't think I've come across this. But then, I haven't eaten out in rural Ireland before. I know that's hypocritical, because I'll happily eat it. It was a spectacular house - a mansion with dark oak panels and tiger skins adorning the walls of the main staircase. There was a tremendously handsome and friendly 'laird' (for want of a better term! Sunday, 18 July 2010. It's be...

Queen Margot: What I think of that new Elbow album.
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2011/03/what-i-think-of-that-new-elbow-album.html
Thursday, 24 March 2011. What I think of that new Elbow album. If strenuous records are anathema to your ears, you might not go in for Elbow singles. But, with this in mind, you may decide this is why Build a Rocket Boys! If so far, you haven't been drawn into the hype around Elbow, be prepared to overlook some of their singles and use this as an excuse for a turnaround. In any case, this album isn't about the chart releases. I miss your stupid face, he crows, in The Night Will Always Win. In keeping...

Queen Margot: February 2011
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 February 2011. An Interview with Wim Wenders. 1 Until Alice in the Cities female characters in your films were few and far between. Why did you prefer to have a little girl rather than a woman interrupting Philip Winter’s plans? In later films you deal with the relationships between men and women. Is Alice in the Cities a stepping stone for this subject matter? 2 In your poem 'the American dream' you say:. A boy in the neighbourhood. Was given a cowboy suit by relatives in America. 4 You say of...

Queen Margot
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-1979-lester-bangs-put-these-lyrics.html
Tuesday, 19 April 2011. In 1979, Lester Bangs put these lyrics and this poem side by side. It's nice to occasionally stop and look closely at a well-crafted lyric. If I ventured in the slipstream. Between the viaducts of your dreams. Where the mobile steel rims crack. And the ditch and the backroads stop. Could you find me. Would you kiss my eyes. And lay me down. To be born again. My heart of silk. Is filled with lights,. With lost bells,. With lilies and bees. I will go very far,. Farther than the seas,.

Queen Margot: December 2010
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 December 2010. Another year and we're all getting on, as it were. I don't do new year resolutions because I never stick to them, but instead I vow to continue doing what I enjoyed in the year just gone, and for me that's writing. Anyway, as the dying days of 2010 draw to a sluggish end, I can't resist an excuse to write a quick (and somewhat hungover) summary of the highs of the tv year and so, here we go:. A close second (a very close second) is Winterbottom's The Trip. I'm sure you've ...

Queen Margot: Lawrence of Belgravia
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2011/10/lawrence-of-belgravia.html
Sunday, 23 October 2011. Paul Kelly's Lawrence of Belgravia eschews archive footage and instead guides the philosophical narrative along with the thoughts of Lawrence himself. Ripe with sagacious and whimsical aphorisms from one of the musical geniuses of the past twenty-five years, the film is both sensitive to Lawrence's mindset ('I'm legally bonkers'), while also serving as a glaringly bright spotlight for an ageing artist. This project has been over five years in the making. Progress was slow and...

Queen Margot: April 2011
http://queenmargotandthesupperclub.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 April 2011. Syd Barrett – Art and Letters. Luckily I stole into this exhibition the day before it closed. Tipped off by a friend, he felt I should know it was on, and that it wouldn't be on beyond the weekend. I'm glad he told me. A grid-inspired lino print is cleverly orchestrated - deceptively simple in pattern, with a blackish hue, yet every square is fully planned before setting lino to paper. But sadly too, you can also see decline. As his health and will began to ebb in the closing y...
