Rockin' Back Inside My Heart

The original Rockys Superette, Auckland, New Zealand, and its döppälganger Rocky Livs & Tobak, Malmö, Sweden.

To be acknowledged as an uncanny coincidence.

I Alla Fall

Alive and singing in Paris

Invisible ink on newsprint

Illya Kuryakin /colour field quilt /Sriwhana Spong at Newcall

Things of interest so far in the new year - David McCallum and his records, objects that remind me of abstract expressionist art, collections of things that fly, drinking too much coke.

more drawings in invisible ink. balancing birds on wooden mobiles. hand embroidered wood grain patterned tights.

ten great years of colour and clothing co-ordination.

in other Beatles related pieces of information, I have just read Brad Pitt will be portraying John Lennon in a film about his life, including singing. The mind boggles.

Rigging

John Ashton - The Psychedelic Furs (1985)




Alasdair MacLean - The Clientele (2008)



Edwyn Collins (1996)
guitar rig as Edwyn Collins not Orange Juice

The guitar set ups from the Guitar men of The Psychedelic Furs / The Clientele / Orange Juice, all from GuitarGeek: The guitar rig database, many interesting characters including Robert Fripp, Chuck Berry, Dave Davies, Brian May and more. I am really only interested in these for the diagramatical aesthetic, the more complicated the more impressive, and bonus points if the guitar is included as well.
There really is a database for everything these days.

Another Green World

Brian Eno - Another Green World

Baker Street

Gerry Rafferty!

an adult contemporary ballad from 1978 and the reason behind 'The Baker Street Phenomenon', resulting in the sales of saxophones skyrocketing and a resurgence of saxophones in popular music.

Postcards

photos all from wikipedia

Jamestown, Saint Helena / postage stamp from the South Georgia and The South Sandwich Islands / Naadam ceremony, Mongolia / the world's largest wine cellars in Moldova / Manx Loaghtan Sheep from the Isle of Man.

sometimes it is nice to read about places you are most likely never going to visit, I am especially fascinated by islands, and places only accessible by boat. postcards are the one thing i forget to send people when I visit different cities.
