Photos from Photospace: Dirty Spoons w/ BOX OF HAMMERS and Bachelor of Architecture

Last night, Saturday, May 7, we hosted a gig up at Photospace Gallery in Courtenay Place. The excellent The Show Must Go On exhibition featuring some extraordinary rock’n’roll images captured by Murray Cammick is on until the end of May. And we thought it a nice idea to stage some sort of gig there. So my band, […]

Billie Eilish: Billie Eilish by Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish Billie Eilish Grand Central Publishing A couple of years ago my then-9-year old niece wanted to listen to her music in the car. Only fair. We’d had mine. And the 11-year-old nephew’s – and the 7-year-old son’s, it was her turn. And she wanted to listen to Billie Eilish. And this was of […]

Stubs: # 278 – Teju Cole: Blind Spot, Wellington, 2018

Most days I think about Teju Cole’s book Blind Spot (and how wonderful it is). And sometimes I remember how lucky I was to see him not just once but twice in the same weekend. Just recently I found the stub for that first show – and remembered that it was slightly derailed by tech […]

Stubs: # 262 – Teju Cole: Photo Lecture, Wellington, 2018

The 2018 Writers-Readers Festival was a busy one for me, I committed to going to about a dozen talks and writing something about each one. This included two talks by the writer, critic and photographer Teju Cole. I’m a big fan and particularly loved his book Blind Spot which was part of the focus for […]

Susanne Sundfør: Self Portrait Original Soundtrack [EP]

Susanne Sundfør Self Portrait Original Soundtrack [EP] Bella Union Susanne Sundfør’s latest release is the soundtrack to a documentary film about the anorexic photographer Lene Marie Fossen.

Charles Moriarty: Back To Amy

Back To Amy  Charles Moriarty  Cassell  The death of Amy Winehouse made me feel very odd – I couldn’t process my feelings about it; I’ve realised now – in many ways that’s because I said a goodbye to her around the time of her “Rehab”-fame. The second album, Back To Black, is largely superb. And I can acknowledge that now. But even with that acknowledgment […]

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 176 The Record Covers

I started buying albums in the 70s and it was a great time for the cover artwork. I have to admit that was part of the attraction for me – those Hipgnosis and Roger Dean images grabbed my imagination. It was an essential aspect to enjoying an album for me. By the time the Spines […]
