Ian Wright
(Absolute genius.)
Ian Wright first came to my attention through the pages of UK music mags. (NME/THE FACE/ARENA etc) & various record sleeves back in I suppose the early 80's.
What can I say?
Actually nothing apart from apologising that my self portait on this page was done using my name-stamp and was inspired by an illustration that Ian did of Matt Johnson for the NME.

Fontella Bass - Rescue Me

Art Ensemble of Chicago (featuring Fontella Bass) - 'Theme De Yoyo"


'Your head is like a yoyo, your neck is like the string. Your body's like a camembert oozing from its skin.

Your fanny's like two sperm whales floating down the Seine. Your voice is like a long fuck that's music to your brain.

Your eyes are two blind eagles that kill what they can't see. Your hands are like two shovels digging in deep.

And your love is like an oil-well. Dig, dig, dig, dig it, On the Champs-Elysees'.

Get it here.
(From 'Les Stances A Sophie' S/T.)
(Pure sassiness that even your most elderly relative will twitch to come this party season!)

Madness. Riding a bicycle at 107 miles per hour!

Countdown to Armageddon


Public Enemy & the Jungle Brothers at the Esplanade Hotel in St. Kilda on January 1st (SOLD OUT) and the 2nd. (Tickets here.)

With PE doing a gig in Brisbane also on the 1st before jetting down to Melbourne at least this time there will be an excuse for Flava to NOT know what city he is in!
(A reference to the time I saw them at Festival Hall & he bounded on stage here in Melbourne and told us how good it was to be in Sydney!)
