Apr 7 / Simon. The Times. 6/4/2015. Influential abstract expressionist painter whose London bus commute inspired his large, colourful canvases. The British abstract colourist painter Albert Irvin, one of our most influential abstract expressionist painters whose progressiveness did not falter throughout his long life, has died carom heart failure aged 92. Years ago, he said on his 90th birthday, in order for you to make an important painting, one felt that the colours had to be subdued or the painting wo...

I Shot A Man In Reno: May 2010
http://ishotamaninrenobook.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 May 2010. Tracey Thorn’s new solo album,. Love And Its Opposite. Is a quietly extraordinary record, eschewing the fireworks of grand passion to explore the niggles and neuroses bubbling below the surface of many long-term relationships. I talk to Thorn about her ace new album here. I also recently caught up with Sandi Thom, who’s gone from much-maligned internet ‘sensation’ to gnarled Blues warbler. Odd. More here.

Songwriting with Pat Pattison | sisterphonetica
https://sisterphonetica.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/songwriting-with-pat-pattison
Sometimes I write, sometimes I vent. Just for fun. Songwriting with Pat Pattison. I write riffs, hooks, chord progressions and fragments. I have never written a song that I’m half way happy with. What I have written in the past has been unsatisfactory, incomplete and the lyrics have been downright appalling. I can write a bit of prose, (after a fashion) and once upon a time I could sort of write poetry. But lyrics? Nah, cheesetastic, and generally utterly awful. I’d heard of Coursera. And was aware that ...

Bury Me In Celluloid: May 2015
http://bury-me-in-celluloid.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Bury Me In Celluloid. The cultural observations of a movie-scarred mind. Saturday, 23 May 2015. Mirror, signal, mayhem: a brief history of the cinematic car chase. The iceman cometh: Steve McQueen in Bullitt (1968). Uncompromising realism of Bullitt’s chase scene. Is the movie’s perfect metaphor. McQueen is the principled underdog throughout, steering tenaciously across a sleazy metropolitan underbelly of dimly-lit hospitals and grimy hotels. But just like in the chase he keeps coming back,...A year late...
