The Sandbox: March 2008

http://gautamaproject.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

An Online Journal by Trae Robinson relating to social impact of new media. Between Image and the Printed Word. View my complete profile. Sunday, March 16, 2008. Between Image and the Printed Word. Sometimes I find an author who just seems to put it all in perspective. A friend recommended Leonard Shlain. S book The Alphabet Versus the Goddess. And I think it has immense value for any student of media theory. It might have done the same for him since his more recent book, Time Sex and Power.

The Spring: Tinariwen!

http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com/2015/06/tinariwen.html

Thursday, June 11, 2015. Saturday 6th June, 2015. Little Mongeham, near Deal, Kent. Will Greenham mentioned to me last year that he was looking to get Tinariwen to come and play at the Smugglers Festival site. I filed that away in the "totally implausible, but this is Will Greenham here, so you never know" folder. And it came to pass. Hot Feet: The quartet from Stroud. Marianne — what a voice! They're one of these bands which stand out by the near impossibility of describing their music. The programm...

The Spring: Wisconsin again

http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com/2015/05/wisconsin-again.html

Friday, May 15, 2015. I'm sitting in my central Wisconsin friend Peter's basement down in Madison, my last night in Wisconsin after four weeks. His band (currently unnamed) is rehearsing — they're playing a kind of intelligent rock music, with elements of prog and spacerock, a new bass player, a young guitar virtuoso ripping it up, etc. Impressive guitarist (exploratory playing, more Trey Anastasio than Jerry Garcia). Most of the Kyerokaya lineup I saw. Group of folkies playing Irish tunes as well as num...

The Spring: as heard at Bramleys jazz session

http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com/2015/07/heard-at-bramleys-jazz-session.html

Friday, July 24, 2015. As heard at Bramleys jazz session. 21/07/15 Bramleys, Canterbury. These fortnightly jazz jams are always worth going along to, but the quality inevitably varies depending who shows up. This one tended towards vocal jazz, standards, not my kind of thing. Still, James Ross showed up late with his sax and injected a bit of personality into proceedings, and young guitarist Luke (getting very. Plus Lawence Fletcher on sax and a very competent ad hoc. And it was breathtaking. Garcia, Gri...

The Spring: Cocos at the Astor

http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com/2015/05/cocos-at-astor.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Cocos at the Astor. The Astor Theatre, Deal. This was Cocos Lovers. Raising funds to release their (now completed) new fourth album, Twisted Moon. Support was from ex-Cocos member Poggy Hatton and her band (including Phil and Billy from Cocos, her husband James on drums and new recruit Adam Whitaker on unfortunately not-very-audible grand piano). She played a lot of new stuff, all sounding great. Posted by Matthew Watkins at 5:17 PM. Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom. David Bowie - ...

The Spring: walk/picnic and Refugee Tales

http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com/2015/07/walkpicnic-and-refugee-tales.html

Saturday, July 04, 2015. Walk/picnic and Refugee Tales. Hannah (partner of Joel from Syd Arthur) had thoughtfully organised a walk/picnic in the Harbledown area and invited Tom and I to play some acoustic music, inspired by the semi-public airing of our music in the Greyfriars garden in April. Along the way to raise awareness of the plight of the detainees via poetry, song and storytelling. Local experimental pianist Sam Bailey (the man behind the Free Range. As well as some soulful jazzy loveliness from...
