We're beginning to get the events established! Send a note to ask for how to create an event in your town... *You do not need the project to tour its way to you. You and your location are the project.*

“In sprawling and decisive microseconds, Art Kane exposed moments of profundity and affixed them to sheets of eternity.” #artkane #jonathankane #reevesgabrels #rossrice #whatthepicturessoundlike #bushel #tableoftheelements #tote2025

Quite a night for the beginning of the campaign to relaunch Table of the Elements… I only managed to snap a couple of photos. Everyone loved seeing the Tony Conrad movie and a wonderful Q&A with Emily Bick from The Wire magazine… much fun!

Here we go!

Yes, this is what we're doing! Tony has only screened three times during the nearly nine years since we premiered at the Tate... and this event has a most significant purpose!

‘The ethos of the age, as Nietzsche says, is money making, the greed and power of the state, fake art, beautiful forms, overweening science.’ James Wood and Jonathan Rée on Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, in an extract from our Close Readings subscrption series: www.lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and...

Thanks @prospectmagazine.co.uk @aloner.bsky.social who let me write about Tony Blair's recent tribute act to the TB-GBs of New Labour, with some more serious consideration of where his NZ antipathy comes and the new politics if climate mini 🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/698...

More gigs this weekend with Manchester tomorrow at the Peer Hat… then Todmorden for the Andrew Weatherall celebrations… good times!

On tour

While researching my novel 1983, which is based on the Nottinghamshire mining village where I grew up, I had a weird memory of a man who used to take his cow for a walk around the village, like it was a dog. "Have I made that up?" I wondered. So I checked my mum and dad's old photos. I hadn't.

Isn’t there a great film to be made about Dory? Or better still… a musical? I love this record.

I had the privilege of chasing down an interview with this exceptional artist and being totally and completely ignored - Viva Henry Flynt!

A joyful brain exercise…

Fernando Pessoa’s writing blows my mind… this is a fascinating essay too

Upcoming London performance! Friday 28th March Tix here: link.dice.fm/S111cafa6c60

Post you in a different era 1990s - on US Maple euro tour

Kurt for the morning when I feel like a hammer off balance about to fall…

Happy Birthday TVZ

One of greatest bands I ever had the privilege to be squarely punched in the face by…

Repurposing an old insult: Nigel Farage looks like a cunt's butler.

One of the great bands I enjoyed the privilege of seeing on a good few occasions… in those heady days of the 90s…

“Lawsuits, personal turmoil, mishaps, brilliant music that stubbornly failed to chart…”

Nice review of a special evening… next show at Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney

You gotta love Leigh Bowery…

Great live. Terrific new EP

When it rains that persistent drizzle and you need that special something else…

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

Today this - dear Mary Jane x

He keeps popping up in my thoughts… is he really dead? We used to meet for tea at The Barbican. CS Leigh… enigma, genius, crazy person… my meeting him and then working on a project together was one of the maddest times. The evening at The Horse Hospital unfortunately unforgettable!

Everyone who is an artist needs to look into subvert.fm NOW. We need to break free of corporate platforms, and this co-op provides an answer for musicians in the wake of a world where bandcamp was taken over and spotify is a pure dystopian nightmare. @subvert.fm

‘Messiaen saw no reason to limit his options in the name of musical progress. He didn’t believe in progress; he believed in God.’ Adam Shatz on the 20th century composer: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

No Wave Big Time

It’s like a world tour…

Published today! Where have all the ravers gone? Time travel through the noughties Netherlands in this magnificent new story collection from @richardjamesfoster.bsky.social. ‘Under his eye, nothing is safe; the mundane becomes magical, the magical mundane.‘ - Ali Millar, author of Ava, Anna, Ada

The unique film & art festival in Berwick has a terrific programme as usual… and where my dear cousin and pal Kim Coleman has an edition of her experiential collaboration with Wendy Clarke. Very powerful…

It’s probably some kind of anniversary for the film we made with Shirley Collins… it always is… but who’s counting? What matters is that The Ballad of Shirley Collins is still out there and still making us proud. A film that changed us that made it… #ShirleyCollins #TheBalladOfShirleyCollins

Gearing up for the next Invocation… Always a trip when The Jonny Halifax Invocation takes the stage—expect deep breath, drones, snake hips and heavy maracas. More soon. See you in the line. #TheJonnyHalifaxInvocation #LiveMusic #DroneBlues”

I really love the work of Thomas Chimes. I was introduced to him by meeting writer, collector Mari Shaw in 2016… he’s one of those under appreciated titans… www.locksgallery.com/news/thomas-...

WOW Someone posted the Blue Note 2LP test pressing of Ornette's 1962 Town Hall show. This side was omitted from the ESP-Disk release that resulted from O.C. giving up and signing it over to Bernard Stollman for single disc release at a nominal flat fee youtu.be/su_o2BUHgiM
