Nash The Slash documentary in 2019
In World Outside The Window·14 March 2019
Watch a New Trailer for Nash the Slash Doc 'And You Thought You Were Normal' The film delves into the life and work of the Canadian cult icon By Calum Slingerland Published Mar 12, 2019 A new documentary centred on the life and work of late Canadian musician Nash the Slash (a.k.a Jeff Plewman) is expected to see release in 2019. As the long-awaited feature enters its post-production stage, those behind the film have now shared a new trailer, as well as launched a new crowdfunding campaign. The latest look at the doc cuts together footage and photographs from the Toronto-based artist's solo career and his time with prog rockers FM, splicing in clips of interviews with the likes of Owen Pallett, Gary Numan, Don Pyle, Danielle Dax and more. Those behind the film have also launched a crowdfunding campaign to help cover post-production costs. Perks included as part of the Indiegogo campaign, which can be viewed here, include cassette tapes, vintage merch, signed prints, and three one-of-a-kind violins that were owned and used by Plewman himself. Of Plewman's career, Numan offers in the trailer, "It always surprised me that he didn't become huge, that the whole world didn't recognize it." You can watch the trailer in the player below. And You Thought You Were Normal is expected to see release through Ottawa/Toronto production company Side Three Media this year. The film is co-directed by Kevan Byrne and Tim Kowalski. Plewman passed away in 2014, aged 66. https://exclaim.ca/film/article/watch_a_new_trailer_for_nash_the_slash_doc_and_you_thought_you_were_normal

Bill Nelson Radio Interview
In William's World·17 May 2019
Check out the 'Archive - Magazine Interviews' section of Dreamsville...there's a link to a new radio podcast from an American radio show 'Interviewing The Legends', hosted by Ray Shasho. The quality is not fantastic as it's a recording of a 'cross-the-pond' telephone conversation, but if you listen carefully - there's some interesting stuff! If you're into iTunes podcasts - it's available to download for free here.

I've had quite a few pairs of creepers in my time. I think the first pair I had, was as a school lad, around 14 or 15 years old, 1974/75. This advert predates that, as it's still in the pre-decimal currency, £sd, so before 1971.

Look at the state we're in...

I hope the 'left' pressures him towards a more progressive direction, but also backs him when his policies are right. But unfortunately I can't see them backing him any more than they backed Hillary Clinton's better policies. It's like the radical philosopher Richard Rorty said: the reformist working-class left has been largely replaced by a more vocal moral-purist 'left' which sees 'liberals' as the problem (like the old Marxists with their purity tests, denouncing everyone as bourgeois). The right seem much better at unifying, despite their differences.

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts.. So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down.' It's where we get the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's'

I was transported by the brilliant TV production of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited in the early '80s. The scene of Lord Marchmain's funeral procession approaching Hawksmoor's severe and somber Mausoleum at Castle Howard, (in Yorkshire, an estate Bill writes about visiting often), was one of the most influential images of my impending architectural career.

Quick teaser (pretty easy), anyone know who this Kodak-Girl is?, from 1972. As well as magazine advertisements, there were also Kodak cardboard store poster displays, which were everywhere in the Sates around this time. TBH, I quite like her as an actress and some of her films.

Well, stumbling around Youtube and chanced across this - I don't think it's been posted before (???). Some great shots of the interior of the Cocteau Chappelle St Pierre @ Villefranche-sur-mer can't speak for the commentary or other content ...

Johnny Marr Quote
In William's World·16 July 2020
I've been doing a fair bit of reading on my Kindle during the lockdown, including a book by Guy Pratt and ones about Brian Eno and Chris Spedding. In the Spedding book Johnny Marr states that pre-punk Bill, Peter Townshend, Paul Kossof, Mick Ronson and Rory Gallagher were the players that he and his mates admired at the time.

BBC Oxford Road / Bill / Epsilon
In William's World·20 July 2020
Can anyone help? I used to watch in the very early 80s a BBC Music program entitled Oxford Road. If I remember correctly, Bill made an appearance on one episode? Can anyone confirm this? Somehow I have the audio to one of the programs; (if it is Oxford Road) and there is an amazing track on it by a band named Epsilon. It is entitled ‘What She Says Goes’; (I think). I have managed to get the track on to my computer and it now forms part of a brilliant mix-tape I’ve created. I have tried researching the band but have discovered nothing. Does anyone have any information about them?

“Savage Gestures For Charms Sake”
In William's World
27 July 2020
I had the original album on vinyl and got a copy on Amazon from a seller on cd that was a combination of Savage Gestures and Chimera. It's on the Cocteau label, so it was a legitimate release, but it seems like such a strange duck to put these two albums on one disc. Does anyone else have this particular disc? Thoughts about it?
