<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">About this time last year I ordered a Smell & Quim album from someone I'm not going to incriminate by identifying (because describing what someone <i>actually did</i> apparently now counts as 'saying nasty things' about them in the noise twat microcosm), and who took a full eight months to send me the thing for reasons described in a series of increasingly lame excuses<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">; but happily, he actually <i>did </i>eventually get off his fat ass and send me the record along with a bunch of freebie tapes. I hadn't asked for the tapes. He'd promised to chuck them in the package as compensation for the delay, even though it still took another six fucking months for said package to make it to the local post office. I didn't really want the tapes. I just wanted the record I'd paid for before I died of old age, but never mind.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anyway, the </span></span></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Smell & Quim </span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">album was great - actually just about worth the wait. The tapes were of the usual kind which seem to do the rounds in noise circles - a crap plastic wallet containing a loose cassette and usually a photocopy of someone's knob, the equivalent of some postmodern wanker picking an empty crisp packet out of his bin, screwing it into a ball, and chucking it at you with the words, 'here - this is art. You can have it if you like.' Some might suggest such packaging strikes against the hegemony of boringly conventional cassette cases, but it always looks like they just couldn't be arsed to me - same as when I hear the words <i>this is art </i>in reference to anything which patently isn't. Make some fucking effort, dude.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">To get to the point, now that I'm good and ready to do so, one of the tapes turned out to be this thing. I've never been particularly drawn to the whole Japanese noise thing, and the only legitimate reasons for anyone ever doing a poo on stage in front of the audience are 1) in the event of the venue lacking adequate restroom facilities, or 2) if you're playing support to the Electric Light Orchestra. Still, I'd at least heard of the Gerogerigegege so I gave it a listen, and as it turns out <i>Piano River </i>is not at all what I expected and is, in fact, pretty good. I couldn't really work out how he generated this noise, but presumably it's something involving turntables. <i>Discogs </i>breaks each side up into five pieces, which I've ignored because each sounds like a single work in five movements to me, just like you get with Beethoven and all of those guys. I assume this is the unofficial version issued by Michael Gillham, although given all the networking, I'd be surprised as to whether it was unofficial in the sense of Sting's <i>I Hope the Russians Love Me Too</i> triple vinyl bootleg (1986). Presumably being the unofficial version, I don't know if the sound quality has suffered. It seems a bit hissy, but then it still sounds pretty good to my ears.<br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></span></span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I've never been entirely keen on the idea of split tapes, but I suppose it depends on who is involved, and <i>Forced Cohesion </i>has some justification for billing itself as neither entirely the work of Illusion of Safety nor Runzelstirn and However You Spell It<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">.

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">It's Sunday morning and I was going to write out the sales pitch and post the links for the <i>Forced Cohesion</i> cassette, having not found time to do so on Friday afternoon as has been my habit; but as I'm multitasking, combining the composition of this blog post with listening to next week's tape in the name of quality control, I find I can't remember much about the <i>Forced Cohesion</i> tape thus leaving me with little to say on the subject, and I can't help but notice that next week's TAC recording rocks like a bitch<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">. So fuck it - here's next week's tape one week early in the name of mixing it up, wacky spontaneity, not having a clue what we'll do next because that's how crazy we are etc. etc.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">As previously stated, I'm barely familiar with the work of Mr. Cox, who trades as TAC, but this one is fucking great - powerfully moody and atmospheric without committing anything too obvious to the general composition. Pierre Schaeffer probably <i>wouldn't</i> have been proud because he was apparently a miserable bugger who regarded his own work as basic experiments rather than ends in themselves, but he fucking <b>should</b> have been, the grumpy old bugger. I've probably said this before, but over the years I've heard so many pitiful efforts akin to some twat rattling a screwdriver around in a kettle for ninety minutes and calling it - ugh - <i>sound art</i> that I sometimes find it kind of difficult to get excited about yet another lengthy recording of someone I probably wouldn't want to meet chucking pebbles at a bike; but TAC is definitely one of the people who not only keeps this sort of abstraction interesting, but genuinely makes a number of the others redundant.

I can't even find this one on the internet, and I've never heard of any of them aside from Macronympha and TAC.

Sorry. I'm therefore left with just the stuff that popped out of Richard's zip file to go on, which this week, is distinctly meaty and flavoursome, if you'll pardon the simile. Online investigation seems to suggest this was an early, more primitive effort from whichever man of the cloth occupied the pulpit of this parish, and there even seems to be some sneering in that direction; to which I say, <i>bollocks</i>. It sounds pretty fucking good to me and I've sat through a hell of a lot of this sort of thing, which is no idle claim given that I'm now ancient and should probably be listening to <i>Sing Something Simple</i> on Wireless 2. There's plenty of looping here, plenty of layered noise, and also plenty of other details you might not anticipate from something trading as <i>Satanic Verses</i>. Some bloke on <i>Discogs </i>called it <i>death industrial</i>, which seems fair and is less annoying (at least to me) than dark ambient. This also seems to be the one which was never reissued in any form, at least not that I've been able to track down, possibly being an earlier, more primitive effort - as already reported - but personally, I'd be proud of this one had I been involved. Definitely more powerful than watching Damien Hirst flushing his wallet down the bog.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Attentive readers may note that I've welded <i>Trip Again (intro)</i> from the end of side one and <i>Trip Again</i>, which takes up all of the second side, together into a single track.

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I know I always say <i>I don't know nuffink about this bloke</i>, but this time I <b>really </b><i>don't know nuffink about this bloke</i>. I gather that he may be Canadian, although admittedly I'm basing that entirely on mailing addresses for two of the labels which have issued his work. Poking around a bit, I notice that <i>Untitled</i>, an earlier release, can presently be found on <a href="https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/darryl-burke-mahoney/592214070" target="_blank">Apple Music</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5KGIQcfcAusj7lEgGUc5nd" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/darrylburkemahoney" target="_blank">Soundcloud;</a> and there's a collaborative album on <a href="https://hyletapes.bandcamp.com/album/dymaxion-life-assemblage" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> if that's of interest to any of you. The music, as you will hear if you download this thing, is something in the general vicinity of ambient drone, or possibly droning ambient, a genre I enjoy, but about which I struggle to find anything to say beyond whether I like it or not. For what it may be worth, I like this, and partially because it reminds me of recordings made by the late, great Andrew Cox, so please feel free to take that as a recommendation.<br /></span></div>

Neil Campbell you may remember from ESP Kinetic, SWANC (with Stewart Walden), Vibracathedral Orchestra and others, the first two of which are represented by adjacent material right here, if you would be so good to have a look in the index as linked at the foot of this page. Richard Youngs was something to do with Omming for Woks, whom I remember from somewhere or other, and all of them have been in the A Band at one point or another.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Durian Durian </i>seems to result from all four of them recording sounds entirely independent of each other, with the whole lot then mixed together - simultaneous playback, so I gather - resulting in this tape.

Hosted by Joke Lanz and Rudolf Eb.er, Psychic Rally developed new forms of radio techniques, cut-ups, sound recycling and sound manipulation. A flyer sent out in 1992 described it as using 'audio material from all over the world (harsh-noise, weird-and environmental sounds) to create a unique collage to blow the listeners mind to bits,'</i> which seems fair, and here's two hours of it as issued by Statutory Tapes, the joke of which I've only just got now that I've typed it out. Tsk. Tsk.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's spiritually similar to the <i>RRRadio </i>broadcasts by Due Process in the US, as shared here over previous weeks, and Due Process (or some representative thereof) make a fairly amusing appearance here towards the end of the first tape (which is probably the second tape if the <i>Discogs </i>page is accurate, but never mind). I personally prefer the aforementioned <i>RRRadio </i>which seems to do more in a shorter span of time, but this is certainly worth a listen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While we're here, Rudolf Eb.er contributes one side to <i>Maledicti</i>, a split album with Awkward Geisha recently issued by Love Earth Music and available as a genuinely gorgeous slab of proper vinyl just like mom used to make from <a href="http://www.loveearthmusic.com/" target="_blank">this website</a>. It's probably the greatest thing I've heard by either of them and is <i>massively </i>recommended, so grab a copy while you can.<br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></span></span></div>

If you've been following this blog for the last few weeks, you'll doubtless be familiar with the premise of RRRadio which was a broadcast, often collaborative effort utilising contributions from people who make funny noises across the globe; so Switzerland's Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck are on here somewhere, possibly amongst others<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">. Some of it appears to comprise a recording of someone listening to the hits on AM radio whilst providing an intermittent commentary, but much like Forrest Gump's proverbial box of choccies, you never know what you're going to get with RRRadio, and there seems to be a point to even the boring bits, not least the emphasis on the stranger interludes. I'm sort of surprised no-one has yet done a fancy box of this stuff. I've heard a lot of noise over the years, and Due Process seemed to have something fairly unique, even if it's not always easy to pinpoint quite what it is.<br /></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></span></span></div>

If you were paying attention last week you'll already know what the deal is with the <i>RRRadio </i>tapes. This one utilises contributions from Asmus Tietchens, Brume, Psyclones and the mighty DDAA. I'm guessing the DDAA material is the twanging you can hear very near the beginning of the set, at least based on <i>Ronsard </i>and other classics with which I'm more familiar. For what it may be worth, in the event of this initially sounding like random shite, it's all built up to a serious head of steam once you get into the second side, so stick with it.<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></span></span></div>

spontaneous live transmission of sound collages with improvisational musical
accompaniment.

I guess you could give them a call on 210-433-0728 and ask. Also I've been very kindly supplied with a mammoth stack of sound files for all sorts of goodies from the private collection of Richard of Chainsaw Cassettes, many of which are new to me, so I'll be sharing those over the next few months, excepting one or two which I've noticed have since turned up on Bandcamp courtesy of the original artists; and there will probably be more from my own collection, most of which I've already shared here, but I have a few bits and pieces still to digitise.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="LrzXr"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="LrzXr">Anyway, we kick off with White Slug, whom you may recall from the <a href="http://noisewinkle.blogspot.com/2018/10/impulse-2-1992-c40.html" target="_blank">second <i>Impulse </i>cassette compilation</a>. I just happened to notice this cassette for sale on <i>Discogs</i> so I bought it, and it was an obvious choice for testing out my tape deck when it came back from the repair shop. I still don't really know anything about this lot, aside from what I'm sure you're quite capable of finding out for yourself which is that they were Jason Whittaker and Richard Munn of which the latter seems to have been something to do with Bum Gravy, and <i>Cage Paralysis</i> was issued by the label which released Bum Gravy's <i>Fat Digester</i> 7", much to the endless amusement of whoever was writing the <i>Melody Maker</i> funny pages that year, presumably David Stubbs. Whilst Bum Gravy is indeed an hilarious name for a band, I'm still not sure how I feel about the ribbing dispensed in their general direction week after week, much of which seemed to amount to <i>Ha! Ha! You'll never get anywhere.</i><br /></span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Well, back to White Slug, it probably won't come as a massive surprise that this dates from 1992 given what else was around. It does that sensory overload thing you get from Godflesh, Swans and others and is accordingly heavy as fuck, yet with a touch of beatbox driven aural assault thrown in resulting in something like a massively more pissed off version of Hula. Side one of my copy came with one channel significantly louder than the other to the point of rendering it unlistenable on headphones, so I've tried to sort that out, although there was a limit to what I could do. It still sounds louder in one ear, but is better than it was, and yet actually sounded worse with the quieter channel brought up to the same volume as the other. Oh well. You shouldn't notice over speakers, and it sounds crushing regardless. Also, there seemed to be one less track on the tape than is listed on the cover, so I've had to take a guess as to what is what, and making an assumption of the first seguing into the second seemed to make the most sense at the time given that the second track is obviously <i>Slavetrade</i>.

I don't recall D.Mag 52 / SHC being particularly amazing that night, certainly not compared to Family Patrol Group, but it seemed like the tape should be of interest to someone. So I digitised it and immediately realised why they had seemed so underwhelming: they played for about six minutes and knocked it on the head, so it's really just a track rather than a live gig. The evening is described in more detail in the <a href="http://noisewinkle.blogspot.com/2017/07/family-patrol-group-fear-death-by-water.html" target="_blank">Family Patrol Group</a> post, and I therefore gather that whichever two - or maybe it was three - of the Death Magazine 52 collective had turned up to play that night must have felt as though it had been a mistake and pulled their own plug or something. It's a shame really. There's a tantalising burst of rhythm about half way through the track (which I don't remember at all from the event itself), hinting at the kind of material I've heard more recently on the Harbinger album, but I guess it just wasn't happening for them. Anyway, if you're interested, this was Death Magazine 52 briefly live at the Mermaid, Birmingham on the 27th of August, 1983.</blockquote><br /> </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times;">While we're here, you might want to take a look at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6tpj3Ud0quqdvCwh0Mt5dPKiH_h9gN6b" target="_blank">this</a>.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times;">That's all for the moment, I'm afraid.

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I intended to share this one a while ago seeing as I'd digitised it and even edited out all of the pops and clicks, but Tim of the Sputniks never replied to my request asking whether it would be okay to give away his work for free. I actually don't think he would have had a problem but suspect he never saw the message, being an oldie like myself, but one less able to navigate all the convolutions of this new-fangled <i>facebook </i>shite - and I didn't want to ask again in case he <i>had </i>seen the message but had been too angry to formulate a response.</span><br />
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Who the hell am I talking about, you may ask. Well, he was my pal and he recently bought the farm, which is upsetting, and I already wrote about him at length <a href="http://englishmanintx.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">For someone who was so busy, musically speaking, it still seems weird that Tim should have left such a scant recorded presence - this 10", a few tracks on the Hangman compilations, and I expect there are still tapes of Johnny Gash and others in a box in someone's attic which will probably remain there, which is a real shame; so that's why I'm sharing this now that it's gone posthumous, in memorial to a guy who deserves to be remembered better than he probably will be. If you want a physical copy, there's still a couple on <a href="https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/5256302?ev=rb" target="_blank"><i>Discogs</i></a> last time I looked.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I'm quite excited about this one as I thought it was beyond hope, having already tried and failed to digitise the thing as I explained <a href="http://noisewinkle.blogspot.com/2016/01/envy-19967-c46.html" target="_blank">here</a>. But, having recently discovered that the other player on my double cassette deck can just about cope with tapes which have otherwise succumbed to wow and flutter, here we are. It still sounds a little wobbly in places, but I'd say it's listenable, and at least it no longer sounds like Bourbonese Qualk outtakes. There's a programme called Capstan, I think, which one can download and use to eliminate wow and flutter, but I don't have it. If anyone wants to send me a couple of hundred dollars so I can buy the thing, that would be great.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anyway, this was, on reflection, possibly my favourite line-up of this band (including the one which had me as a member) and these are fucking great songs, at least providing you like that sort of thing, which I did, or still do in the case of this tape. I've a feeling Paul was pulling towards being the Swans of Chatham (hence being named after one of the seven deadly sins, just like <i>Greed</i>) while Rajun and Prez were pulling in what was almost the opposite direction, which is why it worked so well, in my opinion. Someone should track down the master of this and stick it out as a 12" - fucking brilliant stuff.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Here's another one which fell off the back of the Pumf catalogue. Older boys and girls will recall Neil Campbell from ESP Kinetic and from er... being Neil Campbell, accounting for the <i>NC</i> of the acronym. The <i>SW</i> is Stewart Walden who was involved with Smell & Quim amongst other things. I looked him up on <i>Discogs</i> to see if he'd been a member of Bruce Hornsby & the Range or anyone else you will have heard of, and discovered that I actually know the guy on <i>facebook </i>under a different name and never realised; although to be fair this isn't even the first time this has happened. Come to think of it, the previous bloke turned out to have been in Smell & Quim too, which suggest there's a bit of a pattern there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anyway, apparently this was their third album. As you will hear, it belongs to the general pissing about with a tape recorder genre, in this case yielding a ton of short, occasionally tuneful blasts of absurdity, of which I feel <i>Morons </i>is, in particular, a masterpiece of its kind. As a whole, the thing reminds me of the Residents' <i>Commercial Album</i>, albeit vaguely. Mr. Walden has informed me that the live bonus tracks were actually Stan's idea - they appear in two selections at the end of each side on the cassette, but this sounded untidy to me so I've shuffled them all together to the end of the thing (tracks 40-52).</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Now that COVID-19 has been defeated and no-one has it and we're all back to normal, kissing strangers in public and openly touching the faces of restaurant staff as we sip our Dettol mixers because 'Murica has this lil' thing we like to call the Constitution, buddy, we're likewise back to normal service here at Ferric Archaeology Towers and thus picking back up where we left off with Cyclic Amp. This is the last tape I have, and as with <i>A Certain Sacrifice</i>, I'm not entirely sure how I got it, beyond that it almost certainly turned up on my shelves at the same time. It's actually a tape of their vinyl releases - two albums and an EP - but without the sound of anyone dropping a needle on a record (when the drum beat goes like this) and so, I assume, almost certainly some promotional thing direct from either Probe Plus or the band themselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">So here you go. If you enjoyed the last two, you'll definitely appreciate this one. I know I listened to these tapes but it had been a while and all I could remember was that they were noisy with maybe a bit of a Killing Joke vibe; but the more I listen to this stuff, now that I've dug it out, the more it becomes clear that they very much had their own sound, and it's surprising that they aren't better remembered. Maybe Probe Plus sunk all the promo money into Half Man Half Biscuit or something.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Week four of the end of the world (at least here in Texas), and week two of me sharing digitised spoken word or dialogue tapes in the vague hope of helping someone, somewhere get through the lock in. This time it's Philip K. Dick, and I'm sure you will have heard of him seeing as the media is busily turning every last note he ever left out for the milkman into blue and orange action thrillers wherein various chiselled men resembling Tom Cruise stand in the rain and wonder if they are themselves real. One or two of you may also recall that he wrote novels, and a lot of novels, and novels which were mostly great. It's the novels I'm interested in, probably because I'm a snob and I think I'm summink special but I ain't all that, or I be a hater, or something along those lines. If you're a massive fan of <i>Blade Runner</i> or some associated bingetastic Netflix crap but haven't read any of the guy's books, this probably won't be of much interest.</span></div>

The 1974 interview (with Paul Williams) is pretty lucid, occurring at the end of the year in which Dick famously encountered the pink beam of light. The 1981 interview (with Gregg Rickman) dates from shortly before he died, and is kind of wild, but somehow works better on tape than in print, which fails to carry some of the tone. Both appear in the excellent <i>The Last Interview</i> published by Melville House. If you've read much Dick, and particularly if you've had a go at the <i>Exegesis</i>, you should find this stuff pretty interesting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The stuff appears in reverse order because a) that's how it was digitised and I couldn't be bothered to copy/paste the 1974 interview to the beginning of the file or b) because, as Phil discusses in the <i>Exegesis</i>, time is running backwards, which we know from the contradiction of how evolutionary forces bring form from disorder, and universal entropy which seems to resemble this same process in reverse. Therefore time is running backwards and 1981 comes before 1974.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">This material derives from tapes sent to me by a Welsh bloke back in the nineties, although I'm not sure where he came by the material. I seem to recall seeing bootleg cassettes of Dick interviewed on the counter at Compendium in Camden right next to the Bukowski stuff, but who knows? I can't seem to find any officially released version of this material, so hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, and no attempt is made to supercede established copyright etc. etc., although if my sharing these is somehow keeping money from finding its way to anyone's wallet, I'm pretty sure it isn't Phil's. If you enjoy these recordings, maybe buy a few of his books, because as I say they're mostly great; or maybe buy a few of Tessa's books because I'm sure she would appreciate it, and I can strongly recommend her <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-darkening-of-the-light-tessa-dick/1110843157" target="_blank">The Darkening of the Light</a> as a powerful and compelling novel in its own right.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">This week features a slight detour from the normal programme and its associated steady flow of recordings of someone's fridge as it sounded in 1987, because everyone in the universe is presently confined to quarters and thus in need of light relief. The ever wonderful <a href="http://dieordiy2.blogspot.com/search/label/Ivor%20Cutler" target="_blank">Die or D.I.Y.?</a> recently did their bit to help us all power through the end of civilisation as we know it with a generous helping of Ivor Cutler; so in the same spirit, at least based on the idea that spoken material is good for coping with periods of solitary confinement, particularly if it's funny, and because even music you love will usually get on your tits after a while under certain circumstances, here's all I have of Smilin' Charles Bukowski.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">If you're not sure who Bukowski was, I'm sure you have it within you to look him up. I've seen it opined that he's one of those authors whom no-one actually reads but instead simply claims to read because they think they're all fancy and like really lush but really they ain't and they don't know nuffink, but in my experience this has mostly been opined by aging babymen still reading children's exciting adventures at fucking forty and is therefore horse shit. Bukowski wrote about his life, which was mostly screwing, gambling, and alcoholism, but he wrote with a sharp eye and an astonishing wit, and I would honestly rate him as one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century. His readings were pretty powerful, often very funny, even touching, and I have four tapes - three live, and one of Bukowski at home reading into a tape recorder back in 1970. These were lent to me by the late Andrew Cox, who actually properly introduced me to the guy's work by lending me <i>Ham on Rye</i>. The four tapes were sold from the counter of Compendium Books in Camden, if that's still even there - photocopied covers, presumably bootlegs of things which were either out of print or never officially available, so I don't own the copyright, and nor do I claim otherwise, and hopefully my sharing these isn't injurious to anyone's cash cow, although as Chuck himself is no longer with us in any case...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">I bought a Bukowski album on piss coloured vinyl about a year ago, one of those 180gsm reissues, which turned out to be one of these readings - not sure if it's the same recording but whatever. If you enjoy this stuff, please seek out more...</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Here's some more Cyclic Amp, and a little weirder than last week's tape. This stuff was recorded for a Radio Merseyside session, or some of it was, but you can read about that on the cover. It seems that by this point Cyclic Amp had replaced their guitar with what sounds to me very much like a Casio SK1, the first <i>really </i>cheap (and admittedly rough as fuck) sampler, resulting in this thoroughly screwy shit we have here. It's a bit rough but I remember being in bands which sounded like this, so it works for me.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Back in 1990 I was cartoonist for <i>The Lion Roars</i>, the unofficial organ of Millwall FC fandom based in Catford, south-east London. I wasn't a huge fan of the magazine, despite drawing stuff they asked (and even paid) me to draw for them, but <i>The Lion Roars</i> was always redeemed by the contributions of one Reggie Spooner. His writing was always on point, funny, and he'd heard of the Photos - which scored big points with me. Also, unless I'm getting my wires crossed, he was friends with some bloke who managed a band, specifically this one, and they wanted someone to come up with a design for a T-shirt, so they asked me. I was supplied with a demo tape, a few bits of publicity material - press flyer, 8x10 glossies and so on - and I came up with the thing you can see above, hand lettered which is why the <i>y</i> looks a bit wonky.</span><br />
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">They played at the Amersham Arms in New Cross around this time so I went to see them, and they were honestly fucking fantastic, so it was quite a pleasure to design something for a band I actually liked, plus I sort of fancied Anne, a bit. As you will hear if you download this stuff, they were a sort of er... powerpop thing, I suppose you would call it. They remind me of the similarly excellent and yet obscure Vivarama (formed by two ex-Cravats who weren't the Shend) who themselves were compared to Voice of the Beehive. I couldn't say for sure, not having knowingly heard anything by Voice of the Beehive (although I remember the name) but I gather you could probably say the same of the Bubble Eyed Dog Boys. I had the impression they were really going for the whole big time thing with record deals, promotionally speaking, but probably never quite got there, which is a shame, because I would have preferred this blasting out of the wireless to most of the stuff I did hear in 1990. I can't help think that Bubble Eyed Dog Boys was a terrible name, and maybe the road to international fame and fortune might have been easier to find with something a bit less comical. Never mind.</span><br />
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Actually, maybe it was because I mentioned liking the Photos to Reggie Spooner that he set me up with this lot, what with their being in roughly the same ballpark, musically speaking.</span><br />
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anything else you might feel you need to know about the Bubble Eyed Dog Boys can probably be gleaned from the download. If the download sounds a bit funny, it's probably because you've ruined your ears with Macronympha and the like, and that strange thing with the different notes at different intervals is what is known as a tune.</span></div>
