Er...no, not quite...those familiar with the glum-looking Scottish actor Ken Stott may find a more useful visual comparison with Mr Carlin...

Herbert Howells' "Take Him Earth For Christening" as performed at JFK's funeral.

The next The Wire will have Gwen Stefani naked on the cover with article and interview by Marcello Carlin Well as long as I don't have to be naked on the cover as well, I'd be up for that. But would The Wire?

Reading the Wire these days is like going to school, but give them credit - what other "mainstream" magazine in this day and age would dare put Anthony Braxton on their cover?

Sherwood was a bit like the British Laswell; his music was more interesting in theory than it was in practice. Exceptions: the unassailable Mark Stewart/Maffia '80s trilogy, the Clail Tackhead Tape Time comp, "Strike!" by the Enemy Within (Scargill-sampling '84 Xmas single), the aforementioned...

Interestingly enough, the right-wing student in The History Man was named George Carmody...

Britain's problem is one of too many mediocre music journalists. Even those of us who aren't are more often than not forced into being such due to the current culture of a demographic mindset which supposedly can't absorb anything more than an 80-word capsule review with star rating attached...

The thing is: to behave rationally and ethically would necessarily presuppose rationale and ethics having been determined by someone, somewhere, on the grounds of opinions, if not opinionism - still, what was the history of 17th-century England/Scotland but an animalistic tussle between two...

first of all you should definitely see about getting heronbone published in book form. there's certainly a market (or a market can be created) for it. email me offboard and i'll give you the contact details for my publishers. if a useless nincompoop like me can get a book deal then so can...

The first Last Exit album would have been the greatest record ever made had it not been for Laswell mucking it up with his ploddy and far from nimble basslines. Couldn't they have hired Jah Wobble instead?

that's a terrible insult to weird al! ;)

yeah, look at american government 2004-style, it really worked didn't it, all those attacks and campaigns? quoted in a 1992 interview: "capitalism is flawed but i'll go along with it any day in preference to communism." therefore, part of the problem, not the solution.

yep but if you read miles' autobiography he says that the idea for the 3 keyboards was to get a gil evans-type orchestral effect without having to go to the expense of hiring 19 horn players. plus 3 keyboards were more fluid, could improvise more, so the backing would keep shifting and...

that's silent way and bitches brew gone as well, then. shame on miles
