The Verlaines - Just Mum (1988)
"One of my favorite LPs ever - one that rewards repeated listens. Ambitious and brilliant."
At level best we’ll just survive
No not Tom . . . . . . not Paul but prolly named after him!?
this again from
Le Ramasseur De Mégots,
One of the truly great collagists (and pretty fine painter too see illus. 1) and worthy of more study Hoch (1889 -1978) was much sidelined in her time but worthy of much closer inspection I cam across here work as an art student . . . . . .
Gouache and watercolour on paper, 68.4 x 53.8 cm.
“Through the cut-and-pasted elements of Indian Dancer, Höch assembled references to film, Central African sculpture, and the domestic sphere. Her collaged model is the actress Renée (Maria) Falconetti (also known simply as “Falconetti”), appearing in a publicity still for Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 film The Passion of Joan of Arc. Half of Falconetti’s face is replaced with the ear, eye, and mouth of a wooden dance mask from Cameroon. Atop her head rests a crown of cutlery: cutout shapes of spoons and knives, set against glinting metallic foil.”
Well that was quite extraordinary! What a beautiful new album from Emily . . . but I was reflecting that how amazing that an artist currently whizzing around the world (Australia via California and now touring the venues and record shops of the UK) can pause and invite her fans to a listening party via Bandcamp and have all of us join in listening and commenting via text with the person herself
We hope you enjoyed BCFriday 40: Emily Barker, “Fragile as Humans” Listening Party. Please consider sharing the album with a friend: https://emilybarker.bandcamp.com/album/fragile-as-humans. Certainly did and already have!
"I'm listening live with you in the chat. Come join in the fun and bring your questions about the new songs, about the recording process, anything that springs to mind as you listen to this collection, which I'm very excited to share with you. See you over on Bandcamp! Best wishes, Emily x"
Thunder on the mountain, there are fires on the moon There's a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere I go
I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee
Feel like my soul is beginning to expand Look into my heart and you will sort of understand You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away The writing's on the wall, come read it, come see what it say Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from I don't need any guide, I already know the way Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day
The pistols are poppin' and the power is down I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town The sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind keeps picking up speed Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need
I've been sitting down studying the art of love I think it will fit me like a glove I want some real good woman to do just what I say Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down Some sweet day I'll stand beside my king I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing
Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches I'll recruit my army from the orphanages I been to St. Herman's church and I've said my religious vows I've sucked the milk out of a thousand cows
I got the porkchops, she got the pie She ain't no angel and neither am I Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be Mean old twister bearing down on me All the ladies of Washington scrambling to get out of town Looks like something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane down
Everybody's going and I want to go too Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new I did all I could and I did it right there and then I've already confessed – no need to confess again
Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the shelf For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself

There's a tale to tell here. . . . . .
so walking through Oxford after meeting my old boss and mentor from the Ley Community where I worked, Dave Vanderhoven, and I had just left him and walked back through the town centre to get to my scooter when . . . . .
