Spare Parts-the history of transplant surgery- a book review

You may be surprised what doctors once tried to transplant-or maybe not.

In December 2021 a 57-year-old man was on life support due to heart failure. His only hope for long-term survival was a heart transplant. After being informed of the risks of the procedure, he consented and received a new heart in early 2022. This might not seem so momentous in these days of routine organ transplantations. But this one was not so routine, because the heart that he received was…

ISFDB only gives those two other uses of that cover:

On the Recycling of Cover Artwork

So we were discussing this image...

I mentioned in that post that I'd previously seen an image of a book by Andy Offutt that also sported this cover art. I hate not being able to cite things, so I headed over to Google Images to see if I could find it.

And I couldn't. But what I did discover—once I'd taken another run at the problem by cropping the lettering off the art and resubmitting the search—was that the image also appeared as cover art for a Canadian-based thrash metal band called Exciter, on a 1985 album called "Long Live The Loud."

(It also appears in a Pinterest collection of Real Dumb Album Covers, but that strikes me as unnecessarily judgmental.)

At any rate, examining that album's Discogs page a little more thoroughly, I found to my delight that they've got an artist credit there! And on finding it, I headed straight off to check my copy of the Methuen paperback for any possible confirmation... and sure enough, there it was (though in a place I somehow previously missed checking: the back of the book) So now I've finally been able to amend Fire's page at DianeDuane.com to add a credit.

The artist turns out to be Alan Craddock, who's gone on over the years since the above painting to do a whole lot of cover work on all kinds of British SF. He's now a much-respected colorist on 2000AD and elsewhere in the comics world—for both Marvel and DC, as well as various other comics, including some of @neil-gaiman's mid-90s projects for Tekno Comics). The above work would've been one of his very earliest ones, done while he was just starting to settle into his craft. (While in the meantime doing what a cover artist must do: whatever the art director tells him. So I willingly forgive him the metal booty shorts and spear-spiked heads and so forth.) :)

Anyway, there's a mystery unexpectedly solved! And happily, too.

The Good Omens Musical Masterpost🎵❤

How it started :)

Some time before 2013: Vicki Larnach, the australian composer and lyricist, read the Good Omens book, imagined figures dancing on stage with brilliant music and thought, ‘Ah, I’m gonna ask Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman if I can turn it into a musical.’ and sent an email to the publishers. The next day she got an email saying, ‘We don’t want a musical but Terry’s coming to Australia, so come and say hello and tell us what you got.’

Rob Wilkins came down to meet Vicki and Jim Hare - Vicki's husband and writer - and took them to meet Terry. They spent an hour and a half with them where Terry asked ‘piercing questions’, had tea with them and they showed Terry a song that Vicki wrote (about the Chattering Nuns). Terry said to Rob, ‘Rob, write and email to Neil, “Dear Neil, this is Terry. I’m sitting in front of two hippies from Sydney and they want to make a musical out of Good Omens and I’m tempted to let them do it.”’ which was the best email they ever heard and then Terry said, ‘Okay, you have me curious.’ - it was because of the Nuns song which sounded like the book. ‘I’m gonna give you six months, come back with a first draft libretto and five songs.’

They then sent it to Terry who sent it to Gaiman. Terry said, ‘I really like it, you’re moving story, you’re doing all the right things, but where’s showstopper, where’s the toe-tapper, you know I need people to go to intermission just snapping their fingers with the song they just can’t get out of their head, and I haven’t heard that.’ - and they realized that they were so busy serving the story they forgot to do the wow-factor, but found it very encouraging from Terry that he wanted to make it better.

They went through the whole book again to find a centrepiece - and they found it  when Warlock is growing up and Aziraphale and Crowley are with him, and spent months working just on that one thing and called ‘All Living Things’ [the song at the start of this post :)] which is a line from the book.*’ Terry gave that song to a person he knew and asked him to play it to his wife with no context and when the next day the person said that his wife woke up still singing the song Terry said to Vicki and Jim: ‘Well, that’s what I asked you to do.’ 

* [“This here’s Brother Slug,” the gardener would tell him, “and this tiny little critter is Sister Potato Weevil. Remember, Warlock, as you walk your way through the highways and byways of life’s rich and fulsome path, to have love and reverence for all living things.” “Nanny says that wivving fings is fit onwy to be gwound under my heels, Mr. Fwancis,” said little Warlock, stroking Brother Slug, and then wiping his hand conscientiously on his Kermit the Frog overall.]

Vicki and Jim got the permission to being adapting it as a musical in 2013.

Vicki and Jim on it a couple of years ‘fumbling about’, took it as far as they could and decided to bring another person into it: Jay-James Moody

In 2015, Jay James-Moody joined the collaboration initially as a dramaturge and directorial eye, eventually evolving into co-book writer. Vicki, James and Jay have continued to evolve through countless more revisions and a number of private development readings with the support, time and talent of numerous wonderful Australian performers testing the material.

In November 2017, the musical was presented in its then-current form and entirety for the first time before an audience of over 500 eager attendees. The cast included Luke Joslin, Lachlan O’Brien, Nancye Hayes, Barry Quin, Brett O’Neill, Lauren McKenna, Nicholas Craddock, Paul Capsis, Rob Johnson, Amy Lehpamer, Debora Krizak, Blake Erickson, Nat Jobe, Ana Maria Belo, Jordan Hare, Bella Thomas, Anthony Abrakmanov and Samson Hyland.

Following a rapturous response to this reading it continued to be refined and developed.

In 2019, ten days before the show came out they did their last presentation, since then they’ve been to London and shown a videotape of that workshop to Gaiman and Rob Wilkins which was ‘a pretty heartstopping experience’.

Differences between the musical and the book

The ending of the musical is a bit different.

It opens with the burning of Agnes Nutter and Aziraphale and Crowley are introduced there. 

Act One ends with them ‘essentially breaking up’ because of a huge argument and they dissolve their friendship, Act Two starts with the first time they meet.

The Future?

What is the future for the musical: in 2021 they said that they need to work on some things and then they hope to do another run, initially in Australia.

There will be a CD of the soundtrack available when the show is produced in it’s full version.

In 2024 on insta they said that it is in "complicated process of rights to stage Good Omens" and "We appreciate your support and patience of the progress or seeming lack therof, of Good Omens the musical but we assure you, we will bring you the show in the next few years."

New interview the BBC did with The Real People after the reunion announcement and they're talking about Liam's star quality again:

It was the early hours of the morning, but the bar of the Columbia hotel in London's Lancaster Gate was packed with musicians who were in the capital for gigs, or just hanging out at what had become the go-to haunt for artists and performers in the early 1990s.

Then, like a scene from a western, the noise gave way to a hush, then a near silence, and all eyes turned towards the door.

Ian Prowse, who at that time was in the signed Liverpool band Pele, was among the drinkers, and he too angled his gaze to see who or what had brought everything to a standstill.

"This guy had walked in, and there was just something about him, an aura, some sort of magic," he says.

Behind the enigmatic young man swaggering his way into the bar was Tony Griffiths, one of the two brothers who were the creative engine of the Liverpool band The Real People.

Prowse caught up with The Real People's bass player and singer and asked him who the guy was, and was told it was "his mate Liam".

At this point, the name Liam Gallagher meant little to most people, but to Tony Griffiths, he and his band were going to be "the biggest thing ever".

"This was a few months before they had anything out," says Prowse. "They were unknown. But he was able to just walk into a packed bar at four o'clock in the morning and turn heads."

Liam Gallagher’s charisma had made an impression, but Prowse was yet to hear the fledgling band's sound. When he returned home to Liverpool, he asked his agent – whom his band shared with Oasis – to let him listen to something by this new group.

"He played me this track," he says, "and I just thought, 'Whatever we're doing, it's not this'. It just wasn't capturing the zeitgeist the way this was."

The recording he'd heard was Supersonic, which was written and recorded in one day in December 1993 at the Pink Museum Studio in Lark Lane, Liverpool, with The Real People's Tony Griffiths on backing vocals.

According to former Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll's 2010 book The Truth, Tony and his brother Chris were "integral" to the creation of the song, which would be released in April the following year to huge acclaim.

Oasis, which consisted of Noel and Liam Gallagher, McCarroll, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan, were at that time as much a Liverpool band as a Manchester band, cutting their teeth at venues such as Le Bateau and The Krazy House, where they supported The Real People.

It was striking the relationship with The Real People that put Oasis on the road to stardom.

'Your kid's a star'

The Real People had been around since 1987, and by 1989 were signed to Columbia Records. Soon afterwards they sold 100,000 copies of their eponymous album, whose shuffling drums, overdriven guitars and Beatle-esque harmonies won them an international following.

By contrast, Liam Gallagher was still at school and Noel was yet to pen the soaring sentiments of Live Forever in the warehouse in which he had a decidedly un-rock 'n' roll job as a British Gas sub-contractor.

Chris and Tony would meet the Gallagher brothers in 1992, while The Real People were on tour with the Inspiral Carpets, for whom Noel was a roadie.

"I would always take my own Pot Noodles with me on tour and he'd come over and be after one, so that’s how we struck up conversation," says Chris Griffiths.

"But when we met Liam, we were saying to Noel, 'Your kid's a star, he is'. And this is before we'd even heard him sing.

[...]

For Griffiths, their success was as much down to Liam's star quality as the music or musicianship.

"Noel was a good musician, but he was no [Ocean Colour Scene lead guitarist] Steve Craddock. A lot of it was down to Liam, his attitude and his voice.

EAH Fancast (Part #4)

Part 4 of my EAH @vivi-designs fancast. This is the final part, I'll probably do like a bonus part fancasting the parents/adults later on. Here's the link to the mycast:

https://www.mycast.io/stories/p/h6RKEPAKf5poz_Fjglc1l

Accidentally posted this a little too early so it might be a little out of sync...

@fairynadia as Ginger Breadhouse

@fairynadia is already Ginger Breadhouse's faceclaim and I think it would work because Nadia gives off the sweet vibes Ginger gives off like she looks like she'd bake me treats.

Lovie Simone as Justine Dancer

Justine Dancer is such an underrated character and she's lowkey one of my favorites. I think this Lovie Simone kinda portrays her elegance. I based this off of her pinterest but I think that Lovie Simone would really portray a live-action Justine Dancer.

@chinqpink as Meeshell Mermaid

I couldn't find the first girl on Meeshell's pinterest thing so I'm settling for the one I could find. I still that that this girls looks like a good Meeshell. I might recast if I find someone similar to the first one.

Paul Craddock as Humphrey Dumpty

After a long search I found the right candidate. I don't know much about Paul Craddock but I think if he had the opportunity he'd be a good Humpty Dumpty.

Tashi Rodriguez as Jillian Beanstalk

Tashi Rodriguez is Jillian's fancast so I'm gonna keep her the same also it's Tashi Rodriguez I think she'd play a might fine Jillian Beanstalk.

Hannah Kae Kim as Melody Piper

Hannah Kae Kim literally gives of Melody Piper vibes like this picture is radiating Melody Piper. Not only is she vivi's Melody she literally just gives off the vibes.

Liyah Mai as Nina Thumbell

She's not really an actress but LiyahMai is good for Nina Thumbell appearance-wise. So I think it's a good fit especially since this is vivi's faceclaim.

Natalie Ganzhorn as Lilly-Bo Peep

She looks like the Lilly Bo-Peep in the pinterest so why not.

@guacamolebear as Peony Pan

@guacamolebear is literally so pretty and her as the daughter of Peter Pan would literally be perfection.

Hoyeon Jung as Jamie Hook

Not only is she vivi's FC, I actually think that Hoyeon would suit the role of Jamie Hook because she's a great actress.

current book I'm reading. been enjoying it! definitely recommend, if you're interested in the topic at all.

Spare Parts: A Surprising History of Transplants. By Paul Craddock. blurb below:

How did architect Christopher Wren help pioneer blood transfusion in the 1660s?

Why did eighteenth-century dentists buy the live teeth of poor children?

And what role did a sausage skin and an enamel bath play in making kidney transplants a reality?

We think of transplant surgery as one of the medical wonders of the modern world. But transplants are as old as the pyramids, with a surprising history that runs far deeper than we might expect....

Paul Craddock takes us on an unexpected journey from sixteenth-century skin grafting to contemporary organ transplants, by way of noses, blood and teeth. With its cast of doctors and quacks, artists and philosophers, Spare Parts is a history of science that weaves art, technology myth in a fascinating tale of one of the world's oldest surgical operations.

Witty, entertaining and at times delightfully macabre, Spare Parts shows us that the history -and future- of transplant history is tied up with questions of not only who we are, but also what we are, and what we might become.

So… we had the pleasure to go to London this weekend and hang with the wonderful and talented folks in the Daughtry Camp. Lzzy, Chris, and the band are currently and deservedly top 5 on the ole radio with their killer Journey cover. So at Daughtry’s sold out show at the F’n Royal Albert Hall…. They performed it live together for the first time. Daughtry was nice enough to let me take some pictures. First time shooting a rock show and not playing guitar… all I can say is that I had a blast and my god! I respect show photogs so much. What a beautiful hustle!!! 💚💚

Why was a transfusion of lamb’s blood believed to cure epilepsy? What surgical procedures could you get in ancient Egypt? And were medieval surgical practitioners really a help to patients – or a hindrance? Speaking with Emily Briffett, Paul Craddock unravels the long history of surgery, from its ancient roots right up to recent developments that have changed the practice forever, including antiseptics, antibiotics and lessons learned from farmers and embroiderers.

[alatariel-gildaen]

Years ago, I was in a band. We were pretty good. We played on the same bill as PP Arnold, and with Steve Craddock from Ocean Colour Scene. We played a couple of small festivals, where the headliners were Scouting for Girls. Paul Weller gave us a quote to put on the cover of our first EP.

But obviously, we never hit the big time.

Anyway, a couple of filmmaker friends asked if they could use one of our tracks in a little indie film they were making.

The film was called 'Love Without Walls,' and it's recently won quite a few awards at various film festivals, and as a result is getting a limited cinema release.

If you can see it, please do! It's amazing to think my band is on a film soundtrack, but that's where I am right now :)
