'My muse is not a horse' Kylie Minogue reads Nick Cave letter to MTV
The letter is read by Kylie Minogue for LETTERS LIVE: http://letterslive.com/
Letter taken from Letters Of Note, compiled by Shaun Usher (Canongate):
When released in 1996, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ ninth album, the beautifully haunting, sometimes terrifying Murder Ballads, attracted critical praise from far and wide and went on to reach a larger audience than any of their previous records. This heightened popularity also resulted in Nick Cave being nominated for an MTV Award in the category of Best Male Artist - a situation that left Cave feeling distinctly uncomfortable and which, in October of that year, provoked this wonderful rejection letter from the musician to the event’s bemused organisers

Kenneth Anger: Lucifer Rising (1972)
'Lucifer Rising' is a short film by director Kenneth Anger. The film was completed in 1972 but was only widely distributed in 1980. Anger began filming around 1966, hiring a young musician named Bobby Beausoleil to act and compose the soundtrack. The film was abandoned in 1967 because Anger claimed the film footage had been stolen by Beausoleil. (Beausoleil and others said that Anger had simply spent all the money for the film). Anger then used some of the existing footage in another short film, Invocation of My Demon Brother. Beausoleil was convicted of killing Gary Hinman under the orders of Charles Manson in 1970. Anger began filming again several years later, with British singer Marianne Faithfull appearing in the film. Jimmy Page was brought in to record the soundtrack, but after he had a falling out with Anger, he was replaced by Beausoleil, who wrote and recorded the music in prison.

* Donald Cammell - Osiris
* Marianne Faithfull - Lilith
* Myriam Gibril - Isis

The Bug - Skag Teng / Opi Teng
The Bug Vs Sleng Teng sees the bass explorer apply his own foundation-shaking sensibilities to Prince Jammy’s evergreen ‘Under Me Sleng Teng’ riddim, using his Elektron Octatrack and Analog Rytm machines.
“Truly future ragga for alien thinkers,” as he explained on Facebook earlier this year. “Most people will find the link to Jammy’s original hard to locate, but it makes sense in my twisted mind…lol..Variations on a deadly riff theme, where nothing survives from the original..Steppin off into oblivion.”
Mastered by Stefan Betke aka Pole, the EP marks the second release on Elektron Grammofon, the label arm of the gear maker. The limited one-off pressing of 300 copies will be available in November via Elektron, with all profits from the record’s sales going to charity

Who would have thought...
Not an Everton fan (in fact being a Liverpool fan I haven't written in this colour ink for over 45 years) but sad to hear of Howard's passing
