"Worse on the way That's what they say Bad as it may seem now What seems like work and sorrow today Will seem tomorrow like pleasure and play" - Peter Blegvad & Andy Partridge, Worse on the Way

[mr-craig]

Last night I revisited John Greaves and Peter Blegvad’s magnificent 1977 album, Kew Rhone, for the first time in years. It’s still as beguiling as ever.

For me the highlight is the title track. The lyrics in the first half are comprised of words using only the letters of KEW RHONE (“when we knew no woe, when we were her hero” etc), while the second half is based around a long palindrome: “Peel’s foe, not a set animal, laminates a tone of sleep.”

Of course, I wouldn’t care much about all that if the music wasn’t also totally gorgeous.

Slapp Happy, Slapp Happy (1974)

When experimental musicians go pop, the results can be (and often are) excruciating; uppity show-offs purposefully, snobbily misunderstanding what it means to be ‘accessible’. Not Slapp Happy, though. Founded by big-brained experimentalist Anthony Moore and including instrumentalist Peter Blegvad and singer Dagmar Krause, the group scorned high-brow hijinks for luscious, gently adventurous pop. On two albums (rearrangements of the same songs, with the same names, and the group’s only releases definitively separate from their years with Henry Cow), the first set of tunes are first lightweight and dreamy, of the sort I’d call derivative of Kate Bush if only they hadn’t arrived a decade earlier. The second Slapp Happy or Slapp Happy is supposedly more rockish, though I’ll have to follow-up on that – I can’t currently seem to source a copy by legal or near-legal means.

At the top of the second hour, we’ll do a tribute to the late Power Pop singer-songwriter, Dwight Twilley. He passed away on October 18th.

In the third hour, we’ll pay tribute to Carla Bley. She was a composer and performer with a career spanning over 50 years. She was an important figure in the Free Jazz movement in the 1960s, and a stalwart artist for the ECM record label. She collaborated across genres from Jazz to Rock. We’ll hear a little sample of her diverse work. We'll hear some new releases including The Bablers, Rob Suraci, a new single from Star Collector, Metric, John Scofield, Squirrel Flower, and others.

anemone by Dave Binyon Via Flickr: Please : Right Click and select "Open link in new tab" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ols6lnkHrgM How beautiful you are - Peter Blegvad Anemone – a Spring show medicine, poison, pollen and melodrama Courageous of bloom, anemone often endures wind and freezing temperatures of the early spring Many are simply poisonous, and most possess toxicity in large doses. The Metamorphoses of Ovid tells that the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis. Another story involves the nymph Anemone, beloved of Zephyr, who was transformed into a flower by the jealous Flora. Zephyr was the gentle wind of the west, father of the spring wildflowers, and aptly involved with the likes of anemone.

Les dernières semaines, un peu comme tout le monde, je me suis amusé à « cuisiner » un peu Chat GPT avec toutes sortes de questions, pour conjurer le mélange de fascination et d’angoisse que cette nouvelle technologie m’inspire. J’avais même un début de projet poétique en lien avec ce programme d’intelligence artificielle. Mais disons que les résultats n’étaient encore pas complètement concluants. Samedi dernier suite à une recherche banale pour un autre projet, je lui ai demandé qui était Jérôme Minière. Je lui avais déjà posé la question une première fois et Chat GPT ne me connaissait pas du tout. Est-ce mon ego blessé qui m’a fait lui reposer la question ou une intuition créatrice ? Toujours est-il que cette fois-ci le programme savait qui j’étais.  Quelqu’un en avait parlé dans une chronique à la radio et j’ai pu le vérifier. Chat GPT fait des erreurs :  Dans ce cas-ci, il m’a fait naître en 1971 au lieu de 1972, à Saint-Jérôme au Québec au lieu d’Orléans en France. Il associe de mauvaises années de sortie à deux de mes albums. J’ai encadré toutes ces erreurs (des broutilles en somme) en jaune, et puis une autre en orange, parce qu’elle était bien plus intrigante et créative. Il m’attribuait un album que je n’avais jamais écrit : « Le caissier des étoiles » (2008). Je vous laisse lire la suite de notre vertigineux dialogue, entre réalité et fiction, erreurs et faits avérés. Je n’en reviens toujours pas. Cela dépasse en imagination Herri Kopter, mon premier roman, et toutes les fantaisies qui me sont venues jusqu’ici. Je ne sais plus quoi penser, et je compte bien contacter Peter Blegvad, pas le supposé écrivain français, mais l’artiste américain, qui lui existe vraiment, et que j’ai découvert grâce à Chat GPT.  #chatgpt (à Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLL4ezLkL6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

release solo albums and become besties with andy patridge

An incredibly impenetrable print ad for Peter Blegvad's Knights Like This. It's like if Walter Wick put out an I Spy: Art Rock Picture Riddles children's book.

Now there are many reasons why this record didn't sell, but the Virgin art dept coming up with such a cluttered visual approach certainly didn't help them shift any more units.
