Hi Bill, In case you're not aware of it already: https://tinyurl.com/y2bozcxd

Interesting conversation on the Tastes Like Music YouTube channel - ranking Be-Bop Deluxe albums. One of them (Joe) is completely off the beam but the other two (Jason and Kramzer) only recently appreciative but mostly on point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK9ePxhNV24

He’s responsible for some of my favourite album covers like Madcap Laughs, Raw Power, Transformer, etc. He had a magical touch. He had the ability to convey moments.

OK. I know Coldplay is probably one of the most unpopular bands for many musicians, but I like this song and although I like to do covers with more original "twists" I love the power pop on this and couldn't think where to go with it, so the early part is "a la me" and then isn't https://soundcloud.com/peterbrookesmusic/fix-you

Please can the BBC drop later with jools or more appropriately ' jools and his mates'. The format is tired and so is he. Wouldn't it be good to go back to a more 'Whistle test' format. Live performances/ interviews / news/ videos. Regarding live performances you could have: 1 established artist 1 artist on 2nd album 1 new artist You could have a 'memory lane' feature. Plus an established artist recommending 5 new acts Who would be the host? You would need someone dynamic, engaging and enthusiastic ( all the qualities lacking in jools - no offence to anyone who likes him) Men candidates : Zane Lowe? Greg James? Chris Martin? Brandon flowers? Female candidates : Jo whiley? Sara bareilles? Emily blunt? ( oh, I think I've drifted off into attractive women rather than actual candidates) What do you think? Has jools played his swansong!

The Borderline, one of London's best known small venues, will close in August due to ever-rising rent and business costs. This is deeply depressing and makes me think that we will soon get to the stage where central London will only have big business offices and luxury apartments. All the small interesting clubs, bars and shops will have succumbed to the relentless price hike and night life in the capital will suffer for it.

As the year draws to a close, we would like to leave a little note about an album we released in June. It's called Eight/Chance/Meetings and it revolves around a particular conceptual approach. We used a random number generator to select a pair of albums from our musical archives, and each pairing served as the inspiration for our new song. As always, all of our music was entirely improvised and all our lyrics came from cut-ups taken from distinct literary texts. Below are the songs in addition to the albums that inspired them. 1. Everything's Wrong (And I've Always Loved It) The Flaming Lips, The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg | The Golden Palominos, Drunk with Passion 2. With an English Raincoat The Wedding Present, Search for Paradise | Eric Clapton, Slowhand 3. Of Splendour and Misery The Slits, Cut | Rick Springfield, Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits 4. You Bring the Sunshine, We Bring the Blackout Magazine, No Thyself | The Golden Palominos, Pure 5. A Suburban Purity Chrome, Anthology 1979-1983 | The Temptations, My Girl: The Very Best Of 6. An Interpretation of Our Own Story Size, Size | Fairport Convention, Liege & Lief 7. These Variations of Grey Foetus, Hole | David Bowie, Hunky Dory 8. In This Confessional Simple Minds, Empires & Dance | Marillion, Misplaced Childhood ———————————————————————————————————————

We are a Southern California duo interested in exploring the possibilities of sound & song. We have been striving to bridge the gap between improvisation and pop. Using multitrack recording, together we improvise two or three layers of sound using drum machines, guitars, synthesizers, and the Bass VI. Then, we sing on top of the improvisation. However, we don't prepare traditional lyrics. All of our verses are made using cut-ups taken from newspapers, books, advertisements, and magazines. The challenge is to make all these disparate elements coalesce into digestible pop songs. Is Bill an influence? Certainly. We're not afraid to call ourselves collectors of his works over the years. At times we use eBows, but above all we love the immediacy of his working methods. We also admire the ability to remain prolific. All of our material from 2018-2019 (four EPs, two mini-albums, two albums) can be found on all platforms. Bandcamp also hosts a 13 song compilation featuring what we deemed to be our most accessible work. Hopefully a listener or two will enjoy it. Feedback would be much appreciated. Cheers. https://corduroyinstitute.bandcamp.com/

Anyone know how the charity is doing?

Bill I was thinking it may not be your computer at fault. You first told us of your problem with Cubase, the serial number would not let you do anything. The serial number was for somebody else. Do you think this somebody else had the same problem as you are having and sent Cubase back because he could not get anywhere with it too, and you were the next customer they sent Cubase out to? Just a thought

Originally a pagan festival of fertility which celebrated spring’s arrival, May Day endured as a celebration of courtship and lovemaking for young married people. In the Middle Ages, churches supported May Day celebrations, but around Edward VI’s rule during the Protestant Reformation, concerns began to arise. According to Philip Stubbes, I have heard it credibly reported (and that viva voce) by men of great gravitie and reputation, that of fortie, threescore, or a hundred maides going to the wood over night, there have scarecely the thirde parte of them returned home againe undefiled. In the 19th century, May Day became popular again, this time as a holiday for children. Traditions such as the maypole and May Queen evolved around this time.  Image provided by Wikimedia Commons
