| and there goes michelangelo antonioni - blow up fascinated me as a kid - the swinging london - the what does it mean - the pubic hair - also zabriske point - he seemed to be trying to tell me something - i can't remember what it was - but tonight i think you should get hold of the passenger - it has a wonderful commentary by jack nicholson if you could want for more - rest in peace michelangelo x | ||

| the silence | ||
| there goes ingmar bergman - his work was shadowed by death - although i think some of his films have no shadows at all. he dies shortly after bbc4 showed several documentaries about him - so we feel it a little more - he came along at the right time - no one would finance his films now - to think he won oscars is incredible. although seen as one of his lesser works i think my favourite is summer with monika - he was a genius and now he's gone x | ||

| hey hey my my | ||
| mixing now and it's cut the week after next so then you can hear it. i'll send you all a song if you don't mind being e-mailed mp3's and put one up on the my space. after that a single for the greenman and then the album shortly after. there will be a concert in october of new and old songs - we're still debating what to play in august. trumpets from montparnasse is our most played work so i insist on starting with that although nick wants to start with a new song of his called cow gum. i'm sure things will be resolved. it's funny looking at the roughs of the artwork for the cd - i still think of albums as 12inch vinyl and this will almost certainly be the last cd. soon the concept of a suite of 12 songs will disappear too - i'm warming to spoken word podcasts then i can dispense with the tunes. the first single we be available as a download and a 7inch single. there will be a new site where you can access art work if you want to burn your own cd's and be nostalgic for the late twentieth century. our label is called bogus frontage more about all of that soon - meanwhile rust never sleeps x | ||

| day eighteen | ||
| on day eighteen danny thompson came to play victoria - his bass on our album - it sounds amazing - mixed in a few days - how difficult can it be? x | ||
|
| rum bum & concertina | ||
| rest in peace george melly - i loved his books - revolt into style was one of the only books about popular culture/music - that and awopbopaloobop by nic cohn mapped out a different world - i liked georges autobiographical trilogy too - i remember him interviewing derek taylor one sunday evening about dereks book 'as time goes by' - i thought that was the way grown ups were - oh i wish. . . x | ||
