'For me geography does not exist! I strongly object to the whole concept of “foreign literature”, and speaking of national identity: that is how dictatorships got started! In literature there is no periphery and no center; there are only writers.'
RIP Antonio Lobo Antunes
Oh to have been in that audience…

Step right up, step right up, get there early to avoid disappointment.

Sad day, Alfred Brendel passed away aged 94. I have so many of his recordings and have seen him many times, but it still doesn’t feel enough.
There’s cool and then there’s Thelonious Monk at the Five Spot Cafe.
Tears today for Crocus Behemoth, gone but never to be forgotten.
You had me at “Guitar’s gonna sound like a nuclear destruction” way back then and ever since.

Always funky but chic.
Goodbye David Johansen, you made a difference.
Safe journey.
What is wrong with peace that its inspiration doesn't endure?

My vibrations will live on

The rest of the Shallow Madness rehearsal session has the lost classics “There go the Seventies” (great slow guitar riff from Mick), “Stanheim” and a few more on the cassette.
Originally recorded “Live at Smelly Elly’s” on the flip side of a cassette from Mark E Smith. The other side of the cassette?
The original recordings of The Fall’s first E.P. which MES had sent me a couple of weeks before. His scrawny script all over the sleeve.

Quality editions of À Rebours and the Musil with the Schiele covers. Mine fell apart years ago through over use, new editions don’t feel right, they don’t have the patina of previous readings.
