This is what I planned to play. In the event my successor hadn’t quite finished his plate of sausage rolls and I had to improvise — I popped Vase Chi by Mahshar in at 18, after UGK, to add an extra five minutes, then by mistake replayed “One Day” by UGK as we were switching over, instead of “Radio 4” by PiL. Oh well. The Yello song was recorded weirdly quietly, and the Gaza Slim song absurdly loudly.
A bit last-minute, I’m afraid, but I am DJing at the Hangover Lounge this Sunday. It will be awesome, if I remember to turn the volume back up when a new cut begins.
“Till Max said, BE STILL”: RIP Maurice Sendak :(

victory in the room = tactics
victory in the world = strategy
Chris Marker, Paris 68, what critics do, and so on…
Social and cultural class in the Antarctic of the mind: rough notes on Scott and Amundsen a century on…
the banshees, the models, rema rema, cowboys international, the ants, sinead, spear of destiny, the wolfmen <—- what more do you need to know?
Paper cardboard and plastic jewellery from the mid-60s. There’s a warm glow of semi-remembrance for me when I look at this picture, though Wendy Ramshaw wasn’t a name I knew to recognise till I began subbing at Crafts magazine in the late 90s. My guess is we had some items — maybe lampshades? — in the flat that came from this school, if not Wendy herself. The style became mannerist quite quickly, and fashions moved on: but I love this stuff instantly and inordinately, I assume because it reminds me of idyllic family life when I was seven or so. It’s the past for most, likeably or otherwise. but to me it still feels totally like the future-in-the-present.
