Over a Decade of Recording Black Cab Live
Photographs of me recording and Andrew and James playing at Cherry back in 2013 by Gennady Revzin
From the Doesn't Time Fly Dept
I first started recording Black Cab gigs when they did three or four Sunday arvo shows at the old Cherry Bar here in Melbourne back in 2011
The first thing to note is that these gigs were free entry and from memory were not very well attended at all, so much so that I seem to recall that the last Sunday gig was cancelled
But this was the start of the band becoming a radically different beast than previously or as BC's Andrew said the other day to me: Those Cherry shows were tough but we hacked a new sound there. The Shabeen gigs were also super formative. We miss that place...I'd been catching Black Cab as much as I could since first coming across their debut album Altamont Diary. Really not sure if it was just the concept of the album that caught my attention, their cover of the GOGD's New Speedway Boogie or Channel 10 using this as their station promo for a while. I haven't watched TV for over a decade now but what on earth made someone think that a suitable jingle for the upcoming summer TV fare of one of Australia's three commercial networks should be a track from an album about Altamont, which let's face it was one of the final nails in the coffin containing the carcass of the sixties dream. Personally I think the sixties dream ended on the 6th October 1966

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St. Blues (Flexi-Disc NME 1972)
7“ Flexi-Disc. given away with the New Musical Express in the29th April 1972 edition. Jagger introduces excerpts from the forthcoming albumExile on Main St which was released a couple of weeks later
The following tracks are played "All Down The Line", "Tumbling Dice". "Shine A Light" and "Happy". The song Jagger is singing alludes to the Exile tracks excepted. I think that may be Nicky Hopkins accompanying Jagger as opposed to Ian Stewart but I could be very well wrong there
Really thought that this would have turned up on the deluxe(?) version of Exile when it was released back in 2010

Sounds Of A City: Liverpool (BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 29th March 2019)
Ahead of the 6 Music Festival, another chance to hear DJ Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy turn her attention across the Peaks to one of the UK's most important musical cities; Liverpool. Focusing on the Teardrop Explodes Kilimanjaro album, we talk to Julian Cope about how he made the album, why he moved to Liverpool, and why he always travelled to the studio on an invisible horse. Colleen also looks at how Liverpool and Psych are inextricably linked, the importance of Soul Music to the area, how the nightclub Eric's and record shop Probe inspired a scene, and Liverpool's isolation from the rest of the country has helped create an outlook like no other.
Colleen speaks with Shack's Michael Head who grew up surrounded by the influence of the Teardrop Explodes: Holly Johnson, of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, discusses the role of Liverpool's flamboyant gay scene played in the burgeoning post-punk scene: DJ Greg Wilson casts his critical ear over an 80s Liverpool still living under the eclipse of The Beatles: author Mark Cooper shares his thoughts on the rivalry between Echo & the Bunnymen and the Teardrops. Colleen also meets Stealing Sheep's Emily Lansley, who is at the vanguard of a younger generation of musicians who embrace Liverpool's psychedelic sound. And if all of that wasn't enough, Zoo Records and KLF founder Bill Drummond shares two of his one minute presentations about the album.

Shane Levene: The Trauma of Beautiful Things
O it came and it pooled out of me as a sadness. It came through youth and I didn't know what it was. It was there in my sick bed during long fantastic days off school; came in on the drone of helicopters and the mid-afternoon screams and whistles from the schoolyard opposite. It passed by the window as a millipede of children, cruel and unruly, looking in and laughing as it made its way down to the local swimming baths. It was in the smell of chlorine, in pruned skin and warts and verrucas, in the hideous stench of changing rooms and sour milk, humid feet and prepubescence. It was in me and I don't remember a time when it was not. It roared by in the whoosh of freedom, expanded in my eardrums as I freewheeled downhill for life. Come each dusk I would feel it, would stare out as the sun collapsed and the city died, would want to cry over nothing I could fathom. It came in with history and it overwhelmed me and made me mute. And those were the first lashes from the whip and it was in the whip and in the lash and in the rhythm and the meter and the crack and the yelp of youth. It circled by overhead in the traumatic squawkings of seagulls, sounded in the high winds and arctic skies. It frothed out from my mother's mouth in the back of an ambulance and spread out in the bruises across her chest in intensive care. It comes through ugly and then turns beautiful, comes beautiful and ugly again. On a terrible night I wrote. It was the first time and it made me ill and she nursed me better. It was in me then and in the bright cold healthy morning. I woke up freshly damned and I wanted nothing more. X
Shane Levene truly is one of the most gifted wordsmiths that I have ever come across. Do check out his blog if you don't know of him. He has a seriously powerful way with words
