Adrian Sherwood & Horace Andy - Making Midnight Rocker

Fergus Kelly - Ever Circling (2020)

This stereo soundscape is a tribute to the 70s work of David Bowie, centring principally on the five years between 1973 and 1977, though also bracketed with elements from earlier work and final work. It excludes Pin-Ups, but includes Iggy Pop's album The Idiot, as the music was mainly composed by Bowie (using it as a trial run for ideas fleshed out on Low), and is a fascinating bridge between Station To Station and Low. 
The piece functions like a radio play or speculative documentary; it is an affectionate portrait where edits from songs form building blocks for new combinations, associations and references, along with music he was influenced by/took from, film, current affairs, comedy, field recordings and interviews. It is cinema for the ear, and should be listened to via a decent amp and speaker set up or good headphones - *not* computer speakers or smartphone, as much detail and subtlety will be lost. The piece is freely downloadable to transfer to suitable listening media.

T.A.Z.

I admired Peter Lamborn Wilson's writings when I first came across him in the early Semiotext(e) issues of Schizo - Culture & Polysexuality and then his Temporary Autonomous Zone idea
However (and it is a very BIG however) his NAMBLA support to my mind negates the importance of a lot of his work. 
When you are aware of this side of him it does add a different dimension to the meanings of 'secret societies' and 'amour fou' for example

J.G. Ballard: Zodiac 2000

I asked my friend Susannah to read Ballard's updated signs of the Zodiac short story. Transmitted thru the wires from Box Hill To Exile Towers back in the days of the Covid lockdown(s)

First came across this wonderful short story in a copy of Ambit (#75) which I bought in the Muswell Hill newsagents in London in the summer of 1978
As Martin Bax the publisher lived just up the road in Highgate he no doubt made sure that Ambit was available at least locally

Tim Page: The Clash Under The Westway Overpass Notting Hill (1982)

Buy Blotter Variant 
"What do you say about The Clash? This was in 1982. Such is my exposure to music. These are my offerings about music. I got a call out of nowhere to come to their practice studio when they were doing Combat Rock. They had a manager called Kosmos Vinyl. I met them at this pub, and we went over to their studio and Joe Strummer just gave me a big shopping bag -- I hadn't heard their music -- a full shopping bag of all their EPs and their LPs, and a biiiiiiiig, big lump of hash. Then they played about 4-5 numbers from Combat Rock and said, 'Can you come on tour with us?" and I said, 'I'd love to.'  
I didn't know really know who they were. Then they said, 'we'd also want to buy a bunch of your images to project onstage during the tour.' So I went 'oh fuck. yeah.' and then the till was ringing again. I went on tour with them through France. It was sex, drugs and rock and roll. It was pure fucking insanity. It was all a lot of fun. Then I did two or three concerts in the UK. If you're not quite sure what fucking day it is because you're so fucked up. You're back on the coke just to do another performance, then you've gotten so involved since you're backstage. 
I'm looking after bimbos, I plan on taking pictures, but I'm struggling to make sense of my life because of drugs and alcohol. It was a great time, but it was a totally gonzo tour. I had no idea who the Clash were. Then at the time they had just launched this incredible album Combat Rock. So it was a real treat to go on tour and shoot pictures for them, and have my pictures projected. Jesus. What more could you want?"

Hot Chip (ft. Cadence Weapon) - The Evil That Men Do

OK let me just say that Hot Chip have never really grabbed me perhaps as it was my kids who played them first around the house and to be honest they played a lot of stuff that didn't have that certain 'something'that I need in my music. I could admire their pop cleverness but...
I said as much on Facebook a couple of years ago if not more and an old old London friend of mine said to me to REALLY listen to them. Now I take Mark's recommendations seriously as there are probably quite a few records in your collection that he produced or remixed 
But nah I still didn't get them and then this dropped two days ago and is stunning
This certainly has that something...
Whatever that something is

80s Syndrum Roots (Live & Learn Special)

Spotlight on Delroy Wright and his Washington DC-based Live & Learn label. He started off as a producer in the late 70s following the footsteps of his famous brother Hyman (Papa Life) Wright who run the Jah Life label and shop from New York. Both brothers had strong link-ups with JA producers like Junjo Lawes, Linval Thompson, Al Campbell and many affiliated artists and regularly travelled to Kingston in the 80s to book out studios (mainly Channel One) and run sessions. Whilst Jah Life stuck to Roots Radics and Junjo, Delroy was more experimental and diverse, with stand-out artists like Don Carols, Junior Reid, Al Campbell (behind many of the arrangements/compositions), Jr Brammer (AKA Trinity), Michael Prophet and Winston Hussey. This mix focuses on the mid/late 80s productions with heavy use of syndrum
