That was hard!

Man, it was good to get back on the bank today after a two week break, we were at Oakside for the Kernow Match Group teams of three winter league. I had missed one round and the team had slid down the table after a poor draw at Billy Knotts fishery so we needed to get our campaign back on track. We had a good result last time we fished here so I was hoping that a reasonable draw would give us a kick start and get us moving up the league table.At the draw the best I could manage was peg 35 for m

Gangsterville: The Warner Bros. ?Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4?

Gangsterville: The Warner Bros. ?Gangsters Collection, Vol. 4? The Bloodshot Eye December 2nd, 2008   The brisk and efficient 1939 gangster film “Invisible Stripes” ends with the proverbial hail of bullets and several plummeting corpses. Among those who don’t make it out alive is Humphrey Bogart — no surprise, because at that time Bogie was typecast as a heavy. As he expires on the carpet, resigned and unrepentant, his last words are worthy of the final paragraph in a Jim Thompson novel:

Rolling Stone List

Brittle Bones at Rolling Stone Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers of All Time / Ms. Mix & Bitch I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, Rolling Stone magazine was my version of the Bible. I'd turn to it religiously to find out about emerging artists, tour dates of my tried and true, and other miscellaneous rock-n-roll, behind-the-scenes, tasty nuggets. I also really dug the pictures. That was back in the late '70s/early '80s, and then I discovered boys. So I abandoned the ma

Strummertime blues | Nov 29th 2008

Last night’s excellent BBC4 scheduling of The Clash documentary ‘Westway To The World’ and the hour’s worth of live footage that followed it had me going all misty eyed and regretful. To paraphrase Kevin Keegan, I would have LOVED to have seen The Clash live in action on stage. LOVED it. Sadly, age decrees that this was never to be, although I did once see yer actual Clash in the flesh in the strangest of situations. Woo oo oo oo! Can you feel the force? Clashophiles will no doubt correct me he

Marilyn Monroe visits Art Central

My Art Central neighbour, Axis Contemporary Art, is hosting an excellent exhibition of Douglas Kirkland's photoshoot of the iconic Marilyn Monroe. I had the pleasure of designing the gallery's advertising for the show – it is not often that I get to use such glamourous photography! The poster is on view in the Art Central window and the display window across from the Glenbow Museum. "Beverly Hills, California on a November evening in 1961 a young photographer from Look Magazine waited for the

And We Call Upon The Author To Explain

Taylor Parkes wrote quite possibly the best review of Nick Cave I ever read.* In it he pondered the question of how to grow old in rock music. Written at a time when Cave seemed to be freeing himself of his youthful demons and settling into something approaching middle age, the question was what could he still legitimately sing about? Alternative rock music's primary narrative is one of maladjustment, fuelled by an inability to find happiness or fulfillment. As a genre it is based around a searc

Guitar Gods - The Cover Art

Here’s the cover art for one of my latest mixes - a four disc box-set called Guitar Gods. A compilation like this invites furrowed brows, lists of corrections, and plenty of harrumphing from all corners. Strike up the chorus: “But what about ____________?” There were dozens more guitarists that ideally would have been included, but four discs seemed like enough, and the line had to be drawn somewhere. World B. Furr (sometime commenter on this blog) was kind enough to collaborate on this mix wit

Just missing the top 10 is my alma mater, a school which has had moderate success at various times, but isn’t thought of as a football power: Arizona St. QB Jake Plummer 76 RB John Henry Johnson 57 RB Gerald Riggs 54 RC Charley Taylor 82 RC Jerry Smith 71 RC John Jefferson 54 RC Larry Walton 42 T Marvel Smith 45 T Levi Jones 34 G Ra
