I was going to post... ...but I guess Damn Son will do 😉

— How do you figure he got this medal? Look: ‘To Major Joshua Bilko, who has done more than any other man for our great cause.’ — What does it say on the other side? — The other side? ‘Presented in gratitude by King George III.’ — The English! The English gave him a medal.

He wrote a lot of nonsense verse (if you like that sort of thing). Plus another story, Mr Pye, which is rather fun. It's about a man whose struggle between good and evil manifests in physical attributes (wings vs. horns). I also have a very nice version of Alice in Wonderland with his...

There are actually five. A little one, Boy In Darkness, which is about Titus in Gormenghast. And a manuscript fragment, Titus Awakes, which his wife later turned into a story using his notes.

very possibly that's my recording :)

Me too. Though in a sense it is definitive, in that the particular jazz musicians will likely have recorded several versions live to tape before deciding, yes, that's the one for the album. In these days of massive box set reissues you get all sorts of alternate takes and they're hardly ever as...

It doesn't have the oppressive weight of the first, but it's good, yes. And you definitely want to know what happens.

currently feeling this...

It certainly didn't. But Martin Hannett was right anyway 😉

Depends what they're for really. For a good live album it's not so much for the vibe, I think, as its effect on the musicians. They can be less restrained in a live situation, which makes the resulting music worth listening to, even if the recording quality is inferior. Here's some of the stuff...

Yes :) As gothic fantasy I think it's unparalleled. And the writing.... he chooses each word with the precision of a poet. The first book is the best though. The second is more plot driven. The third, well, see what you think of the third. Peake was already struggling with his health by then...

Fuck the police, fuck— fuck— Fuck the police, fuck— fuck— Fuck the police, fuck— fuck— Fuck the police

no, post punk was about ideas indie is music by people with no ideas

Indie is the worst. Utterly generic tripe from talentless bellends. It's what people like when they're 14.

I mean like everything they possibly can :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

T'Pau - China In Your Hand excruciatingly out of tune when she goes high 😫

Isn't that just about what you want from something? I'd go with your idea for films. I have watched films for their art, as something I should submit myself to, but only once because I don't really care about film as an art. That is to say, the art is not in itself enough for me. Whereas for...

yes :)

Using "you" as general not personal... I'd suggest that you haven't got the point. The music, the art, itself is the point, not all the rest. Someone has gone on this journey to find something, create something – with monomaniacal determination maybe – and it's up to you, participating now as...
