A&Rmchair: June 2009

http://benwardle.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

A&Rmchair is a blog about being old enough to remember seeing the Clash, whilst noting that quite a lot has changed since then. A&R, stands for Artists and Repertoire - a job I performed for years with the skill and determination of a vindictive traffic warden; Armchair is the leather one I currently sit in, scribbling and occasionally getting up to play Side Two. Tuesday, 30 June 2009. The record company thumbs a lift with hippies. Going through their routines for the 38 th. Or the scout from Rondor.

Zone Styx Travelcard: September 2010

http://zonestyxtravelcard.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. This Flying V ukelele is available in the kids department of Habitat. It has no frets and the tuning pegs are for show. For some reason it makes me think of David and Samantha Cameron. Posted by Sam Davies. Links to this post. Buddy Holly and indie. In this way, Buddy Holly was the patron saint of all the thousands of no-talent kids who ever tried to make a million dollars. He was the founder of a noble tradition. Nik Cohn, Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom.

Zone Styx Travelcard: Burial (John Wyndham)

http://zonestyxtravelcard.blogspot.com/2014/03/burial-john-wyndham.html

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. By midsummer, and a cold midsummer it was, the town had become very quiet. The gangs had gone; only the obstinate individuals remained. They were, without doubt, quite numerous, but in twenty thousand streets they seemed sparse, and they were not yet desperate. It was possible to go about in relative safety again, though wise to carry a gun. Posted by Sam Davies. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). WHEN MATES MAKE BOOKS. 555 Enterprises 2.0. Bubbleb...

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. Burning down the (glass)house: The Architecture of Failure. Just started reading The Architecture of Failure. As it reminds me of a theory. Just the case that in films that rehearse and glory in the destructive sublime, they are naturally going to destroy the urban environment closest to hand? Is it that there's something visually captivating about the transformation of a smoothly geometric series of lucid panes into chaotic cloud-bursts, galaxies o...

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. Science fiction of the past. Everything seems to be aimed at making the viewer feel ill at ease, at giving him the impression that he is watching for the first time scenes from a life he never dreamed could have existed. Fellini has described his film as "science fiction of the past," as though the Romans of that decadent age were being observed by the astounded inhabitants of a flying saucer." Tullio Kezich.

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. Rob Young has started up a blog. His forthcoming book on folk (and the visionary/esoteric in its 20C English tradition) for Faber – check it out. He mentions Dazzling. Colin Harper's book on Bert Jansch, in passing, which reminded me of one of its footnotes. A random pull-out of some Folkways records:. This one is just packed with crazy rhythms and textures. Side one is all solo demonstrations of local instruments, the shitende. And 5mins of zora.

Don't let me enter my zone / I'm definitely in my zone. Oof, didn't realize Pere Lebrun. Had beaten me to it with 'Little Johnny Jewel' – he did post the studio version however, so at least that creates a little compare and contrast. LJJ' is unusual in that the song begins. With a solo. They almost always come a couple of minutes in at least. Can't think of many other noteworthy examples, although 'Cortez the Killer' is stunning:. Most solos describe an arc, or an ascent don't they? I would go for 'Heart...
