Twat Bubble: 'Friends, Romans, comedians, lend me your ears.'

http://twatbubble.blogspot.com/2014/02/friends-romans-comedians-lend-me-your.html

Thursday, February 13, 2014. Friends, Romans, comedians, lend me your ears.'. I only just heard about the death of one of comedy's greatest figures - the incomparable Sid Caesar. Sid's life and career spanned ten decades - as a comic actor and performer, on stage, screen and, famously, on television. Less well known, however, was his musical prowess - as a saxophone player - for musicians and bandleaders as forward thinking and as indomitable as Art Mooney and Benny Goodman. The list does go on and on.

Twat Bubble: December 2014

Sunday, December 14, 2014. It's Christmas time. Be afraid. And, many apologies to those less than avid readers of this less than average site, for my tardiness regarding the maintenance/governance/effluence of this music etc blog. So, then, gentle, accursed reader, why should you feel compelled to be similarly cursed to read this hastily, poorly assembled thing? Well, it's got MUSIC in it! Of course, I don't mean the music that you see on the television, hear on the radio or eat on your computers. With R...

Twat Bubble: April 2013

http://twatbubble.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Despite what many might think, Jesus 'Jess' Franco was much more than just a trashy latter day purveyor of tits and ass (liberally covered in bright red stuff.) Franco, who died earlier this month, was a ghoulish gourmand of gore who slathered his beautiful women and similarly adorned hunk-a-men with blood and guts and brains and more blood. Always, more blood. Irrespective of the genre, the budget, the stars or, often, conspicuous lack of them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Twat Bubble: September 2013

http://twatbubble.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 15, 2013. Elvis and Stax: a match made in Heaven. For many Elvis fans, the 1973 June and December Stax Sessions. Represent a high watermark in his illustrious recording career. The set contains myriad versions of all six of the singles the label issued from 1973-1975: and there's not anything approaching a dud amongst them. What, more than anything, that emerges from these fun packed, gloriously musical sessions, is a totally fearless Elvis - more than ever before willing to embrace dif...

Monday, April 14, 2014. Bobbi Humphrey: Jazz Musician. Bobbi Humphrey is a comparatively rare phenomenon in that she's one of the few women ever to record for Blue Note records: the label synonymous with, and celebrated for, the hard bop style that originated in the 1950's and which was popularised by musicians such as Horace Silver, Art Blakey and Miles Davis. All men. All middle aged men. It must have been a tough gig - literally and metaphorically - for the 21 year old Bobbi. Boy, can she play. A lone...

Saturday, December 7, 2013. It's Kanye's world, we just live in it. I usually wait until mid-December before beginning posting poorly constructed opinions and biased reviews of the year's best records, movies, books etc. This allows me sufficient opportunity to arrogate obscure albums, independently released movies and stand-up comedy 'discoveries,' reviewed by other people, as my own. Here's a record by someone I like -. I don't want this whole piece to focus either entirely or exclusively on Electronic...

Scottish Small Press Comics I Bought | Gareth Brookes' Blog

https://appallingnonsense.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/scottish-small-press-comics-i-bought

Scottish Small Press Comics I Bought. Posted by Gareth Brookes. September 11, 2013. Rather like political power, high life expectancy and nice weather, most of the opportunities for comic artists in this country are concentrated in the south-east of England. This is a real shame, because as I discovered on my recent jaunt to Edinburgh, where the Stripped. Armed with some weird banknotes that I new I wouldn’t be able to spend in London, I acquired the following items. Now on it’s 8. TGC8 is full of strips...

Twat Bubble: March 2013

http://twatbubble.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 14, 2013. Louie CK Louie CK. Sometimes, I feel this way. Louis Szekely has been a stand-up for over twenty years, performing and writing for, amongst others, David Letterman and Chris Rock. It's only now, how and ever, with the relatively recent broadcast in the UK of his *stand/sit show on post-terrestrial TV, that's he's gained recognition. And, pleasantly surprisingly, popularity. Cue, the greatly surreal:. As an adjunct to the above, the. Friday, March 1, 2013. Oscars - What Oscars?
