In front of one of the hangers that they call Barnes at Beale Air Force Base, It was a foggy night, and Eric was looking for a way to make the picture memorable, so he asked a large truck to get behind the SR-71 and turn on the lights. That was the magic. ✨✨Photographer: Eric Schulzinger

I'm planning on starting that MP Regency AU fanfiction! What should I include? (U, PG and 18+ suggestions are all welcome!)
OH MY GOD YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT?!?!!? LESS GOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ok uhh here's my suggestions!! :
-All (well technically 3) the Pythons have a really specific kinda Regency royal/heir-like title/nicknames to them based on where they were born (i.e some random examples; John Cleese, Earl of Weston-super-Mare, Captain/Admiral/General Graham Chapman, Duke of Leicester, Terry "Jonesy" Jones, Baron of Colywn Bay of North Wales). Then you have Vicar Michael Palin (of Sheffield), Baron Terry Gilliam from Paris, France (he says he's a Baron but the others don't really believe him and thinks he's really a phony or something lol), and self proclaimed "Maestro" Eric Idle (from the local Cheshire pub). Then you also have Stableboy Neil (Innes)/Neil the humble Stableboy, Countess Carol Cleveland and Countess Connie Booth (in this AU, Connie is Carol's older half-sister/cousin) of London, Lieutenant David Sherlock (Gray's second-in-command in the army, and also love interest but pretends to just "be friends" so to not make people suspicious about their relationship with eachother, etc!
-Gray is both a highly respected army official by day (at work technically), and a promiscuously gay playboy by night (when he has the time off doing the army business). He smokes alot too.
-Jonesy ends up with Regency era Denise Coffey and learns that she's not as "bad" as anyone makes her out to be. She's considered"bad" because she's apparently "too common" to fit with society. In other words, society thinks she's "too unattractively normal" to be considered pretty, to which she politely says bullshit to :).
-John and Gray are childhood best friends with eachother. Michael and Jonesy are also childhood best friends with eachother. Eric and Terry tags along as well.
-John becomes instantly uhh "emo" and tragic and moody and cold because of his recent breakup with his (ex-)fiancé Connie, even though they just broke up since almost a week ago. He mopes about it all the bloody time that even his friends start to get annoyed by it all, and it makes even his own sappy poetry look like decent stuff.
-Eric and Neil meet up at the weekends to play as a musical duo at the local Cheshire pub. Eric is, ofc, sorta homeless, meaning he has to to stay over at Neil's cottage house but also stay at the local taverns until he has to pay rent.....but mostly he chills out at Neil's house.
-Eric gets a "rags to riches" kinda story where, with the help of Gray who just so happen to be at the local Cheshire pub to "meet a special friend of his" (which is ofc David) in which Gray overhears the pretty good singing, he agrees to hire Eric as his servant and give him a permanent place to stay and enough money to live by. Eric is ecstatic ofc!
-Michael is a kind and innocent vicar, a follower of god, but he's a bit horny too! He particularly has a crush on a nice and kind woman called Helena (who runs the local bookshop in the town). Mike has the hots for Helen but knows he can't actually ask her out due to him being religious and stuff and it apparently going against the rules to marry whilst preaching about god or something. However, he tries to get around this by starting out slow, via becoming companions with Helena by helping her with the bookshop part-time. It all seems going to plan. However, things start to get a bit too *spicy* when Michael accidentally sees Helena in her regency era undergarments (which is a "stay"-kinda undergarment) just as she was about to get unchanged. As if it couldn't get any worse, the stunned Michael commits the greatest sin he has ever committed.......he sees a bit of her bare back. That alone is enough to make Michael faint. Helena, being the good and understanding friend she is, helps Michael get back to life and takes care of the poor soul. Michael is grateful for Helena helping him, but feels guilty for seeing her like that. Helena tells him that it's ok and that it was an accident at the end of the day. Michael smiles, and out of the repressed passion he held back for all these years, he slowly cups her face and begins kissing Helena, and Helena, at first surprised, is then quickly eased and understands and kisses back Michael. Michael and Helena then have the most excruciatingly passionate sex that night, and both are left satisfied.
-Gray meets David in an abandoned farmhouse, and they both announce their feelings for one another, and they both kiss passionately and uhh have the most beautiful gay sex one could ever hope.
-There's alot of "characters running through the moors" whenever the character starts a new relationship, romantic or platonic.
-Gray wakes up naked every morning after each promiscuous affair.
-Terry the Parisian Artist develops a romance with the ""weird"" woman who runs the tailoring clothes shop, Ms Margret "Maggie" Weston. Terry & Maggie bond over their shared weirdness and love for absurdities in life.
-John and Connie began an (almost) lifelong romance (before they broke up) when they were young teenagers of about 16/15 at a ball one night. From there on, they hit it off with each other pretty well. The young John and Connie then sneakily exited from the ballroom, then they snuck out and playfully ran to the garden maze and then snogged each other all night long.
-The Pythons and Co go to a regency era fairground/carnival and have a lovely, fun time there. They also get to ride on the merry-go-round on the merry-go-round horses!
Uhh hope you enjoyed the ideas I gave! Let me know which of the ideas is your favourite and why? I absolutely can't wait to read it!!

W.I.T.C.H. Character Headcanons (bc I say so)
So for those of you who don't know, I'm creating a rewrite of W.I.T.C.H. on Wattpad. It will essentially be if it were given a live action adaptation with a standing total of 60 episodes (5 seasons; 12 episodes per season). These headcanons all apply to said rewrite -- I have my Wattpad linked on my blog so go check it out!
Irma is canonically a Latina lesbian, that's zero debate, however I specifically headcanon her as Guatemalan.
Taranee and Peter Cook are canonically blasian! The Cooks are out here representing the blended families! I will be taking no arguments or criticisms!
I read a post a while ago about how every other fantasy world is based on Medieval Europe, Metamoor/Meridian being one of them and I was like "you know what would be cool? if instead Metamoor was based on Ancient Indian culture." so that's what I did and now Elyon and Phobos are ethnically Indian (Elyon's new name is Elyon Bhandari and I can't think of it as anything else now) (plus Metamoor is actually ten times more interesting with the amount of lore I'm creating for it).
sidenote: I need it to be known that Elyon will also be serving as the vice president of the Sheffield Student Government/Student Council to foreshadow her queenliness and she's also a book girly and she has initiative and Phobos is actually clever enough in his manipulation tactics for Elyon to not question everything until the last couple days leading up to her coronation. I wanted the queen to serve.
Everyone imagine real quick (cartoon) Matt Olsen as a black man. I don't know how I started picturing him black but now I cannot stop because it just works! We need a black lead guitar/lead singer of a rock band everyone will be making thirst edits over who is also humble kind sweet loyal loving-- And can I just say he would look sexy hot with the Shagon dreads! You cannot change my mind on this!
Kio Cyr is literally Eric Lyndon! I found an image with him in a NASA t-shirt and I was like "that's him folks!" Though, I do specifically headcanon Eric as Filipino.
Alchemy is now Alchemy Torres and she's a chem/bio nerd with an affinity for puzzles. I'm still figuring her out but she will gain more importance in S2.
I made a crackship out of Nashter (one of the Runics from the 100% WITCH arc) and Taranee and now it's very very serious. Not only does he have a British accent (do not ask) but he and Taranee are basically a detective duo/partners-in-crime turned besties in S3, which corresponds with the Crisis on Both Worlds arc which means angsty Taranee which means incredible banter between a smartass and a flirt.
And when I tell you that Nashter is the only white Runic I mean it: Darmon is lighter skin black, Shalin is Asian of some sort (specific region TBD), Cromo is dark skin black, and Ran-Rah is indigenous af.
Caleb lowkey is giving indigenous energy? I've barely touched him but the farthest I've gotten is that I saw one fanart of Caleb if he were on Phobos' side originally and now he has a whole defection arc in S1 from head of Phobos' guard to rebel leader in addition with angsty C&C so there's that going for us.

Pulp Diction - Part One Words: Paul Lester, Photographer: Pat Pope Melody Maker, 27 May 1995 Transcription: Acrylic Afternoons
Starring: JARVIS COCKER as THE JUNKSHOP ROMANTIC STEVE MACKEY as THE PLAYBOY RUSSELL SENIOR as THE ALIEN CANDIDA DOYLE as THE CARE BEAR KID NICK BANKS as THE PIE-MUNCHER
From the late Seventies right up to the early Nineties, Sheffield's Pulp were critical faves whose bizarre sex-obsessed space-pop eluded commercial success. Then in 1994, their His 'n' Hers LP sold 100,000 copies, went Top 10 and almost won the Mercury Prize. Meanwhile, frontman Jarvis Cocker became Britain's unlikeliest sex symbol and all-round multi-media pundit. With their fantastic new single 'Common People' released this week, we meet the brilliant Pulp as they prepare to ascend to the next level of fame and acclaim.
PULPINTRO
He's Chris Evans' favourite artist. Greater London Radio has called him "the first pop star of the 21st century". This writer reckons he's Eric Morecambe meets James Bond. And he's described himself as "Woody Alien in platform heels". Ladies and Gentlemen, Jarvis Branson Cocker, the human stick insect in Oxfam gladrags rechristened "Pop's Mr Sex" by The Observer's "Life" magazine, has just entered the building. And tripped over some camera cable.
As stumbles go, it's pretty clumsy. Although Jarvis doesn't exactly tumble arse over tit onto the Maker photographer's studio floor, it's a trip nonetheless, a full-scale fumble of the feet, a semi-somersault. Not that Cocker seems to care. He doesn't bother to check whether the nosy bastard journalist has witnessed his miniature fall from grace, he just regains his balance and heads towards the studio table where several platefuls of sweets and sandwiches await.
The trip is all. In it, we can locate the sublime/corblimey essence of Pulp, the most modern of modern pop bands, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, the ordinary man with the extraordinary talent, the sex god with the sex problems, the klutz-icon whose Cool Quotient is raised precisely because he doesn't mind looking uncool. Thought: Jarvis Cocker has the same initials as Jesus Christ and Jimmy Corkhill.
Fact: on the night of this interview, he is spied in a quiet corner of a Menswear after-show party with a gorgeous young girl, legs akimbo, facing him on his lap, her skirt around her waist, his crotch against hers, the pair, oblivious to the drinking/drugging hordes (basically the entire population of The Good Mixer relocated to London W1), thrusting and grunting like extras from "Confessions Of A Britpop Idol".
Theory: the British public is obsessed with sex, especially public sex, at which Jarvis Cocker is (becoming) an expert. Ergo, the British public is (becoming) obsessed with Jarvis Cocker, who, after 15 years in the shadows, is Going Public with Pulp's synthetically treated, dramatically arranged, indecently graphic pop songs about public - and private and magical and mundane - sex.
PULPSEX (FOREPLAY)
A Pulp feature without sex would be like a Barry White feature without sex or a Spiritualized feature without drugs or a Snoop Doggy Dogg feature without guns or a Shaun Ryder feature without sex and drugs and guns, or a Paul Weller feature without loads of tedious meandering bollocks about old blues and soul records. But a Pulp feature - or, for that matter, a Pulp song - doesn't have to be solely about sex. It's just that, for Pulp, as it is for Jarvis Cocker, as it is (let's be honest) for us, sex is the axis around which all their/his/our other obsessions orbit.
So, yes, a Pulp feature or a Pulp song could be about knitting, just as it could be about fairgrounds or babies or joyriders or pink gloves or lipgloss or underwear. But really, once you've rubbed at the surface and scrubbed away the details of Pulp's beautiful tales of banal lives, you're left with sex, in all its gory glory. I'm not sorry about this. Neither's Jarvis Cocker.
"Is there anything in the world more interesting than sex?" the thinking woman's crumpet with the thick-rimmed spectacles repeats my loaded/"Loaded" question in his inimitably rich, deep South Yorkshire voice. "No, I don't suppose there is. Eating and reproducing are the two major motives that make animals want to do things. And I don't think it's that different with people, except that people have the ability to think about it, and have morals about it. I always thought of sex as something quite transcendental," he continues, leaning forward now. "Not that l'm into tantric sex, or whatever, but in the way that it transcends... In a world where religion isn't such a massive guiding force, sex is, along with drugs, the closest we ever get to a transcendental feeling. Especially the moment of orgasm." Oo-er, Jarvis Cock-er.
Think of the seedy voyeurism of "Babies" (from "His 'n' Hers") where the kid watches his friend's sister going at it hammer-and-tongs through a gap in a wardrobe door; of the tawdry perversions of "Sheffield: Sex City" from "Pulpintro" ("I just had to make love to all the cracks in the pavement and the shop doorways"); or the smutty ambiguity of "Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)" from "Masters Of The Universe" ("There's a hole in your heart / And one between your legs / You've never had to wonder which one he's going to fill"): Pulpsex is never the hygienic coupling you see in films, the seamless, juiceless, sexless, unproblematic sex we're all supposed to have as adults.
Jarvis Cocker is the only white pop artist currently addressing the subject of sex in an explicit manner. Historically, white pop sex has either been good clean fun (The Beatles, The Beach Boys) or its darker side has just been hinted at (The Who, The Rolling Stones) or it has been the course of much angst (New Order, The Smiths).
Today, of course, sex is dealt with in numerous black genres such as rap, house and swingbeat, only there the sex is the mechanically precise variety, all domineering men and submissive women, gleaming musculature and cool biological fusion and fission. Pulpsex is rather more fumbling and fallible than that. It takes place between streets, not between the sheets.
"I like that sort of thing," admits Jarvis. "It's good for sex to be an event, not always taking place in the same venue. It's better to go on tour, as it were. It's more exciting. Not that I'm one of those people who has to think that they're going to be discovered at any moment shagging in an alleyway, or whatever."
"Anyway," he refers back to the bump 'n' grind style of contemporary sensual poetry, "that's where most pop writing about sex falls down. It becomes like a parody of a man trying to portray himself as God's gift to women, as the greatest stud alive."
Could a white man ever get away with a line like Barry White's "Take off your brassiere, my dear"?
"No, they'd get the piss taken out of them, and rightly so."
As Pulp's popularity increases, so too does Jarvis Cocker's ability to reduce female admirers to paroxysms of pleasure at the sight of his beanpole academic frame or the sound of his lugubrious, deadpan, baritone. Thing is, they're half surrendering to Jarvis, the post-modern Englebert Humperdink (he sends them), and half laughing at themselves for doing so (is he sending himself up?). There is a similarly narrow line in Pulp's songs between the silly and the serious. Could Jarv sing a song about sex with a straight face, or does he usually feel the need to be self-deprecating about it?
"Well," he smiles, "there is always that temptation where sex is concerned to hide the IQ, to pretend you didn't really mean what you said, which is a cop-out. You have to risk looking a bit daft."
Jarvis didn't lose his virginity until he was 19, and he was apparently celibate for several years when he moved down to London from Sheffield at the age of 25 to study film at St Martin's College Of Art. For years, his frustrated lust for lust fuelled his muse. Now he's got a live-in lover, Sarah, who may or may not be the saucy girl from the Menswear party and works in a mental health centre. ("I DJ'ed there once," Jarvis tells me. "I played them lots of Madness records".) Although like all of us he's struggling to keep his coitus explosively interesting while in a steady relationship ("I don't think you can have both at once. Do you know what I mean?" Oh, but I do), he is surely having at least more regular, if not more successful, sex. Is there a direct correlation between Jarvis Having Successful Sex and Jarvis No Longer Being Able To Write Successfully About Sex?
"It depends how you measure success at sex," he says. "There isn't a score card in operation, or anything." I dunno, I got a standing ovation from my girlfriend the other night. "I wouldn't say I was having more successful sex now," Jarvis ignores me. "I might be having more sex but I don't know if it's more successful." But if it was? "Then I'd probably stop writing altogether and concentrate on shagging! If it was that good. I mean," expands Jarvis, grandly, "there is a theory that states that people create Art because they're sublimating their sexual desires in some way, or they have certain feelings of dissatisfaction which drive them to achieve certain things. So if you were really satisfied with sex and life in general, you'd probably just give up creating and concentrate on enjoying yourself."
There are few signs of a satisfied Jarvis Cocker on "Common People", Pulp's anthemic, gigantic new single whose relentlessly intense rhythm and motorik pace recall the demonic, supersonic, electronic mo-mo-momentum of Eno-era Roxy Music, and whose juggernaut keyboard riff and vitriolic sex-geek lyric smack of Elvis Costello at his most deliciously malicious (circa "Lipstick Vogue"). The narrator of this staggering piece of synthesised pop invective relates the story of a girl who wants to slum it for a while by moving into a scuzzy neighbourhood, shopping in scummy grocers and sleeping with common people like...
...Jarvis?
"Sex was never really on the cards, to be honest," says the working-class boy from Intake, Sheffield of the real life incident recalled in "Common People", in which a student from a wealthy Greek family who Jarvis met at St Martin's College outlined her plans to take a brief, vicarious holiday in other people's misery, via El Jarvo himself.
"That was just a bit of poetic license. I only knew her for a matter of weeks, and I only spoke to her a few times, but it stuck in my mind what she was saying, that she wanted to sleep with 'common people like me'."
Did she actually use that line?
"Oh no. She never actually said that to me. It was one of the things that I found quite strange when I moved to London," digresses Jarvis, reminiscing about his formative years as a fully paid-up member of the Weird Teen Club, about his days wearing lederhosen and looking like a bit-part from "The Sound Of Music".
"Because when I lived in Sheffield I was always getting flack off football fans, stuff like, 'F***ing poof'. I was always considered a bit effete. Then suddenly I came down here and, because I spoke with this northern accent, I had this air of slight earthliness. I liked that, because I'd never had it before."
"So yeah," Jarvis returns to the inverted snob-protagonist of "Common People", "maybe she did consider me a bit common." Isn't that Pulp in a nutshell: a blend of the earthly and the effete, the coarse and the camp?
"Maybe, I don't know. That's your job to say that." So you were a bit posh up in Sheffield, and you're a bit rough in London? "Yeah, maybe. Yeah."
Does Jarvis, the alienated wunderkind who has been in Pulp for over half his life, feel more comfortable back home or down here?
"I was thinking about that when we played with Oasis at the Sheffield Arena show, actually," he says, fiddling with a loose fingernail. "At the do afterwards there were loads of people from Manchester and I really enjoyed being there, because I've not socialised in the north for a long time. I've found I get on easier with northerners that I do with people that I meet down here."
Can we extrapolate from this that, perusing a list of his peers, Jarvis would be more at ease with, for example, Oasis that he would, say, Blur?
"I've got more in common with Oasis, yeah. When it comes to something like civilised conversation."
Civilised conversation? Oasis?
"Why not? In fact, the first time I ever spoke to them was when we were all in America and we were trying to get into their show in San Francisco. And we got a message saying, 'You can all come in as long as Jarvis comes onto the bus and talks to us.' So I went on and talked. They were really friendly. Unfortunately, I was in a really depressed state - it was my birthday and I was feeling a bit maudlin - and they probably thought I was a right moron."
Jarvis Cocker meets the brothers Gallagher. The mind truly boggles at this summit encounter between such diametrically opposed aesthetic schools of consciousness. I suppose Noel and Liam were busy swapping lurid tales of birds and booze while poor Jarv was left to ruminate on the shabby nature of existence, or something.
Am I right?
"Not really, no," Jarv casually leaps out of his seat to deposit a bit of nail in the studio bin. "The only real difference," he says, plonking himself back down on his swivel chair, "was that they were talking about shagging birds and I was thinking about shagging birds."

‘Ye Ankasa | We Ourselves’ is a powerful and spiritually Rich album from Jembaa Groove, a multicultural band founded in late 2020 by bass player and composer Yannick Nolting and singer-percussionist Eric Owusu. Whenever artists attempt to dive deep into their ancestry and their roots with a somewhat honest and innocent curiosity, you know something great is on the way for them. Jembaa is on that exact path of glory with this album. Deep ancestral flows, between Ghana and Europe, powered by enthralling conga-led rhythms and luscious horn work in their new album bring out the immaculate sense of familiarity and originality in the contemporary jazz scene. In the heart of Berlin, the young and senior generation from Ghana and its diaspora came together for this album. Vocal masterclasses come via Sheffield-based K.O.G and original veteran of the 70s and 80s highlife scene Gyedu Blay Ambolley, with Ghanian multi-instrumentalist and producer Kwame Yeboah also inspiring.

Hello! I came up with a name + backstory for the main character for that future fanfic you're gonna do about a guy/gal who wakes up in a world where Monty Python never existed. Hope you like it, and would love for any improvements & suggestions/add-ons you'd like to add!
Name: Bryan/Bryony C. Sheffield
Background: They're a genderfluid person in their mid-late 20s who loves Monty Python since they were young, when their dad introduced the comedy troupe to them. Their middle name "C." stands for "Cohen" as their dad is a big fan of "Monty Python's Life of Brian". Bryan/Bryony has a very personal connection to Monty Python for its (even if comical) queer representation and characters! Their personal favourite Pythons are Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle & Graham Chapman, but they especially love Eric & Graham.
They love working in theatre as their side job, animation, as well as reading!
They're not completely flawless though, as they do struggle with stress due to working in their main job in accountancy, which can leave them feeling a bit jaded sometimes. They also struggle with social anxiety disorder, so they go to therapy to talk about it. They are slowly improving, however.
What do you personally think? As I said, I'd love to hear any improvements on this! Thanks!!
I freaking love them!
I also love how it’s a character who feels connected to Python because of its positive attitude to queerness (I can relate to that)
(The fact that they are an accountant is genius as well…)

☝️ her nation, she travelled far and wide
Though loyal to her crew, she was always looking to the side
When the problem of intelligence seemed without solution
Along came a Blackbird with cutting edge resolution
Though fired upon often, no missile ever came near
At 2000 mph, it's always "now we're over here"
Of course there were some mishaps and a few of the birds were lost
Proving freedom isn't free and it's the brave who bear the cost
And while she no longer flies, if things ever get out of hand
We need only remind the world we had the Blackbird when the Beatles were a band

Haven't done a new vinyl round-up for a while and i've bought loads of new stuff lately. Some new, some used, some good and some fucking awful...
Tumblr media
Start with something good... this was just a random EP I found in a bargain bin in Psychotron. It says Jungle Vibes 2 on the back but all the rest is in french, so I got the man to play the opening bars of the first track and thought, yes, having this for seven quid!
Never heard of any of the acts on there, but French drum & bass from 1995, a time when they were also making some quality hip hop (Solar, Cam, etc.) had to be worth a go and it most definitely was. Quite liquid in it's sound on the first side and a bit more jungle on the second, and quality breaks all the way through. A really good find!
Selector presents Jungle Vibes 2
Tumblr media
I mean, there's not much to say about this is there? It's the London Philharmonic, playing music from the original Star Wars and lets be fair, you all know what that is going to sound like.
Second side has some other orchestral space stuff on, like 2001 and some other random space themes. But the opening track is full of sample friendly cuts from the opening speech to the cascading effects - perfect for scratching.
Now if i could only scratch....
Star Wars by The London Philharmonic Orchestra
Tumblr media
This was another punt that almost fully pays off. Not totally, but it's got some good beats on it...
I know if Swindle as a grime MC, which has never been my thing. As much as a i love hip hop, as i get older, i find i don't really like much past the 90's. But they play Swindle on BBC6Music a bit and he has moved from that dirty, grime sound in to a bit more jazz based stuff and looking at the artwork on the cover and the guests, i figured it might be a bit more jazzy. And to be fair, it is. Quite heavy horns riffs stabs and breaks, people like Kojey Radical, Loyle Carner, and Greentea Peng, Poppy Adjuda, Ghetts on vocals and it's actually OK. Very UK hip-hop jazz type of ting! (as the cool kids probably don't say anymore) There's a couple on there that i already knew and have dropped in a mix before, so I was chuffed that they were there. Plus it's on clear blue vinyl, so yeah, happy with this. Especially as it was only £6.
The New World by Swindle
Tumblr media
Just the original on one side, which on its own is quality. But then on the other is the full Seven Minutes of Madness Mix by Coldcut which is just a fucking banger and put Coldcut and Ninja Tune on the map.
Paid In Full by Eric B & Rakim
Tumblr media
I'm not normally a massive fan of live albums. They're often not the greatest of recordings and the live crowd puts me off. But I had a chat with the man about this and figured that Gong should really be heard live as they are that sort of band, so i gave it a go. To be honest, you can hardly tell it's recorded live, but you can almost smell the cheap weed, patchouli oil and stinky hippies through the record - which is a compliment, as i wish i was there with them. Free loving, getting high and prog grooving to the sound of Gong in a field in the seventies.... I mean, how much fun does that sound?!
Live at Sheffield 1974 by Gong
Tumblr media
So i got chatting to a guy a few months back who turned up for the vinyl night at my local. He was the same age as me, had loads of 90's metal and grunge band logos tattooed down his arm and he started telling me about his son, Lewis Watkiss, who had been accidently killed at the local snowdome as he wasn't wearing a helmet. And i'm like yeah, man, i feel it. I've been through similar shit and we're not supposed to outlive our kids and we had a pint to the memory of our boys. But to make something positive out the conversation, he tells me that Lewis was a gifted saxophonist and that his teacher and one of his heroes, Xhosa Cole, had made a track for him and it was being sold for charity. And i couldn't say no, even if i wanted to. They needed to presell a certain number to get it pressed and i bought it without even hearing it. And it's actually really good. Not my normal sort of jazz, as i'm not a big sax man, but it was his and that's what matters. Its broken it to three suites and each of them build nicely. The second side has a deep house remix from a local girl and this was one of the best £15 i have spent on a record.
Louis' Teenage Spirit by LJW Music Fusion
Tumblr media
This came on the radio a couple of days prior and i remember wondering if i had it on CD, as i used to do some work for Ninja Tune and used to get all the singles and a fair few of the albums sent to me for a couple of years. I never ended up looking for it but I did randomly find it in the bargain bin and figured i'd pick it up.
Just a 12" single, but it's jazzy, soulful a bit Nuyorican and yeah, quality.
Horizon by the Cinematic Orchestra feat. Niara Scarlett
Tumblr media
I first got in to Tom Waits about fifteen years ago and specifically, the three early 80's albums that almost make up a loose trilogy around a guy called Frank who joins the navy, sails around the world, comes home, tries to settle down, can't handle it and fucks off again. That's the simple version of what is a collection of sea shanties, drunken laments, spoken word, free jazz, heartfelt ballads and musical story telling of the finest order. And if you know it already, then i don't need to explain anymore.
I've been looking for them on vinyl for years, but no fucker is selling them. So when i got the email from Rough Trade saying they were being re-pressed, i put my order in and got all three on the day of release!
Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Tumblr media
Yeah, hoped this was going to be good, but it's not. It's shit. Meh, them's the breaks.
Public Pressure by The Yellow Magic Orchestra
Tumblr media
This was ok. Kinda reminded me of the time i was in Paris with the wife and a friend of ours. We had gone to see Bjork in concert and the night before, we went out for dinner in this little side street bistro, about six foot across, all wood panels and probably about 10 covers at the most, split in two by a mezzanine floor. One chef in the tiny back kitchen, a little chinese girl serving, and a lothario of a maitre D who spent most of the night chatting to us on our table, flirting with my mate and stealing his cigarettes. We had steak with foie gras (yeah, i know, but i had to try it), a plate of frogs legs, some goats cheese thing and were introduced to chilled red wine, which considering how hot it was that evening, went down a storm. But the reason this record reminds of that night is because taking up half the floor space on the ground floor were two guys, huddled together in a corner, one on an upright piano and the other on a double bass, playing easy, simple jazz. Nothing too complex, just easy going piano and bass stuff. And that is very much what this is.
I can almost taste that chilled beaujolais and Benson golds...
Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus
