My 68

May 8th, 2008 by dan

Thoroughly entertaining memoir of the events of May ‘68 in Paris, London, New York and San Francisco. From David Zane Mairowitz, who was both there and can recall enough of it to vividly conjure it up for us. Some fabulous archive footage, some hilariously frank, half-remembered incidents.

(Bonus points for starting with the beautiful, sparkling tones of ‘Dark Star’, double-bonus for some interstellar Syd-era Pink Floyd in the middle, and triple-bonus points for a raucous splash of Albert Ayler at the end.)

Malcolm McLaren: The Game

March 27th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Praise the Lord. A big, loopy concept album of a radio show (which has a computer game to go with it) from Malcolm McLaren. It’s an hour long and it’s about Paris and life and… you know. Need I say more? (MP3). BBC radio does this kind of one-off quite often these days but makes hardly any fuss about it. Did you read about this in the paper? Did you know about it at all? Why not, I wonder?
