few albums would warrant such a revisit,
one that is not sensationalistic,
but instead very intriguing.
After The Flood: Talk Talk’s Laughing Stock 20-Years On
Alan McGee considers Mark Hollis:
« “I find the whole story of one man against the system in a bid to maintain creative control incredibly heartening,” he wrote of Talk Talk’s central pillar, Mark Hollis » — [ link ]
Ian Curtis
Interview with Radio Blackburn,
April 1980
« This interview has been used extensively but never properly credited. Its from BBC Radio Blackburn’s Spinoff show, On the Wire’s precursor - and now BBC Radio Lancashire.
Broadcast in April 1980 one month before Ian’s death, it is believed that this was his last interview. Spyda from Burnley Musician’s Collective spoke to Ian whilst I held the microphone plugged in the portable Uher reel-to-reel machine in the murky depths of Preston Warehouse. » — dubster48

Wim Wenders on Photography / VIDEO
Wim Wenders is not only known for his films but has also had several international solo shows as a photographer. In several of his films photography plays a central role.
In this interview he spoke about photography in the change of time and explained why he is still sticking to analogue photography. Here’s a short excerpt:
” (…) photography doesn’t need a history. There is just the moment that counts. Thus you don’t have to commit to anything; there are no consequences in the end.”
Current exhibition (see previous post):
“Wim Wenders - Places, strange and quiet” at Galerie Ostlicht, Vienna / Austria
Exhibition dates: Oct 6, 2012 - Nov 17, 2012
this band sounds good!

The Toronto trio METZ is rude, severe, and excellent. They make rock music, all of it loud, most of it precise without feeling checked. It’s raucous stuff, heavily indebted to music recorded for the Chicago label Tough & Go in the eighties, and recordings made in the nineties for the D.C. label Dischord. We are happy to be streaming their self-titled début album, exclusively, for one week. A few days ago, I spoke on the phone with the band’s guitarist and singer, Alex Edkins.

« It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there’s not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination. »Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 69, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
« what matters is to look,
but people don’t look.
most of them don’t look,
they press the button.
they identify,
but to seek the meaning,
beyond this or this…
very few do it. »

200%: Was it something like when I am not in a band I can do it myself?
SS: The singing is part of what I do but I think it carries all the way through to the sonics of the record. A song like ‘Talk To Me’ is imagined and my voice found its place in it. It said what it needed to say in it. The song was never driven by the singing, it was driven by a need to create this feeling.
