  • Another one gone: John Renbourne

    Another one gone: John Renbourne

    So that’s the last of the Pentangle guitarists gone then – John Renbourne has died aged 70. Can’t say I’m totally into their jazz exploits – but when they branched out into folk or even funk (check out the drumming/groove on Light Flight) they were really good.

  • Mr.B’s Chap-Hop Radio Hour

    Mr.B’s Chap-Hop Radio Hour

    Loving this radio show from Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer – didn’t know he knew Osymyso too (a Brighton connection?) as he plays a version of Pat n’ Peg I’d not heard before – has a lot of Frank Butcher this version.

  • The Post-Punk / New Wave Super Friends

    The Post-Punk / New Wave Super Friends

    Loving the pop-culture mashups of Butcher Billy including these Post Punk Super Friends series. MORRISSEY SMASH! I don’t use the M-word lightly – but looking through his online portfolio you will see similarities to a some of mashup cover work out there. I can see why clubs want his graphics, would be great to see…

  • Every Frame A Painting

    Every Frame A Painting

    If you edit or work in film or video, or just like to be visually literate (hint: it makes films so much better when you know why they do what they do, it’s like you fall in love with the film all over again) then Tony Zhou’s Every Frame A Painting series are well worth…
