Kevin Richard Martin - Lockdown Grooves (Elevate Festival)

His contribution produced especially for Elevate, picks up where his album series "Frequencies for leaving earth", launched during the first lockdown left off. In this deeply personnal project, he devotes himself to intensely immersive soundscapes that develop a uniquely dystopian undertow.

I've caught Black Cab a couple of times so far in 2021. Both with limited sitting audience numbers.
Really looking forward to things getting totally back to normal as they are still currently the best live band in Melbourne and due to Covid we are still blessed with having Wes on drums...here's a couple of tracks recorded (a year apart) on my trusty Tascam. 'Untitled' from Jan 2020 before the lockdown hit last year and old fave 'Supermädchen' recorded at Black Cab's last Melbourne gig
Untitled - live at Nighthawks Fitzroy (Jan 2020)Kris Needs on Siouxsie and The Banshees
Siouxsie And The Banshees: the story of the band who band who saved punk from parody and invented goth
Funnily enough a friend of mine had come up to Glasgow from London where he worked for Charisma Records and was going to catch The Scars live supporting The Banshees at The Apollo on the 8th September 1979 before possibly signing them to PRE Records. Of course the gig was cancelled due to the drama in Aberdeen the night before and we ended up going to the most boring party in Byres Road. Oh well never have seen The Banshees live but I did get to see The Scars numerous times
JG Thirlwell interviewed in Brooklyn, NYC in 1986 by Tim Ritchie (3JJJ)
JG Thirlwell is interviewed in Brooklyn, NYC in 1986 by Tim Ritchie for his radio show on Sydney's Triple J station. The interview is cut up, sampled, stretched and reassembled by John Jacobs, Tim's producer back in Sydney, resulting in a stream of consciousness of Foetal Excellence.
This 30 year old piece of radio collage was recovered and remastered by DJ HDD in Sydney and is the first in a series uncovering Australia's previously lost radiophonic works.
William S. Burroughs on Alex Trocchi, Jean Cocteau & Thomas De Quincey
It is notorious that in Bristol (to that I can speak myself, but probably in many other places) he (Coleridge) went so far as to hire men "porters, hackney-coachmen, and others" to oppose by force his entrance into any druggist's shop. But, as the authority for stopping him was derived simply from himself, naturally these poor men found themselves in a metaphysical fix, not provided for even by Thomas Aquinas or by the prince of Jesuitical casuists. And in this excruciating dilemma would occur such scenes as the following: "0h, sir," would plead the suppliant porter, suppliant, yet semi-imperative (for equally if he did and if he did not show fight, the poor man's daily 5s. seemed endangered) "really you must not; consider, sir, your wife and-" Transcendental Philosopher: "Wife! what wife?I have no wife." Porter: "But, really now,you must not, sir. Didn't you say no longer ago than yesterday" Transcend. Philos: "Pooh, pooh! yesterday is a long time ago. Are you aware, my man, that people are known to have dropped down dead for timely want of opium?" Porter: "Ay ,but you tell't me not to hearken " Transcend. Philos: "Oh, nonsense!An emergency, a shocking emergency, has arisen, quite unlooked for. No matter what I told you in times long past. That which I now tell you is that, if you don't remove that arm of yours from the doorway of this most respectable druggist, I shall have a good ground of action against you for assault and battery
Note: The passage Burroughs reads here is from De Quincey's 1856 revised edition of 'Confessions of an English Opium Eater'. It doesn't appear in the 1821 edition.
The passage concerns Coleridge's (1772 - 1834), not De Quincey's, reported attempts to curb his own laudanum addiction, attempts so half-hearted & inept they're amusing, as Burroughs points out.
