Artist of the Day: Claes Oldenburg
I loved Oldenburg from the get go as a precocious teenager discovering books on Pop Art for the first time (soft drum kit?) and would seek out his work wherever I could find it . . . . most memorable encounter a giant garden trowel in the grounds of the Sculpture Garden at Eindhoven in The Netherlands (see also Richard Serra Spin - off)

Not my bag at all but Kostas always does such a brilliant job of profiling gold and the Canterbury scene no less than others we appreciated Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage and all the guests but that prog rock vibe is for others . . . check out the biog of a historically important UK Band here
Kostas says: "Gong are a rock band associated with the Canterbury scene. They incorporate elements of psychedelic rock, jazz and space rock into their musical style. Anarchic, experimental, and whimsical ensemble originally led by guitarist Daevid Allen, a founding member of the Soft Machine.The group was formed in Paris in 1967 by Australian musician Daevid Allen and English vocalist Gilli Smyth.

The Canterbury Scene: An Interview with Steve Hillage & Daevid Allen - BBC South
Bob envisions the future of music from 1986!
Curiously ebullient and chatty (sniff sniff) Bobby expounding whilst drawing the interviewers portrait
on the future of music and how everything will be taken over by machines!
Bob Dylan talks about the future of mainstream music. Filmed on location in Hamilton, Ontario, during the making of the movie ‘Hearts of Fire’. This is an extract from a BBC TV ‘Omnibus’ documentary called ‘Getting to Dylan’, first broadcast in 1987.

FOR MURKA
Wherever you are!?
THE DOORS- PEACE FROG
Not from the Doors webpage but couldn’t resist this as its a favourite Jimbo song . . .
Syteets of Paris, Street of London, Streets of LA
Ghosts crowd a young child’s fragile eggshell mind . . . Jim claimed to have seen a car crash with Indian's bodies scattered across the highway (Lizard King mythologizing or poetic licence or a child’s dream!?)
Either way there is blood in the streets
and here will be more before balance is resumed!
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Live in Athens 1987) HD
So as with so much modern music what exactly did you THINK Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer' was about?!
the poster says
"Peter Gabriel's 1986 hit song "Sledgehammer" is fundamentally about desire, passion, and heavy sexual innuendo, using the title and lyrics as a phallic metaphor.”
Full track here. . . . . . .
