John Lennon: "We did a ‘Candid Camera’ film of it, of people’s reactions, ‘cos as you got to the canvas itself, there was just a hat to put money in for the artist. They all reacted to that (laughs) and a little bowl of badges, little teeny white badges that said ‘you are here’, very tiny, that they got. They put some money in the hat and they got a badge, you see... And it’s just a documentary, you know, it’ll be around."
This film is available on YouTube.
'You Are Here' film - from the preparation (30 June) and opening (1 July) of John Lennon's first exhibition You Are Here (to Yoko from John Lennon) at Robert Fraser Gallery, 69 Duke St., Grosvenor Square, London, 1968.

Robert Fraser: “The John Lennon show was very poorly received. Looking back on it, it did have a certain pretentious element. It was fun. I don’t know if it was art. It wasn’t popular.”
— Barry Miles, Many Years From Now (1997)

Music reviews: Neneh Cherry, Alfred Brendel, Elixir, Soap & Skin and more
POETRY/SONG Elixir/Katie Noonan/Michael Leunig GRATITUDE AND GRIEF (Kin/Universal) The dichotomy could not be wider, and yet it is exactly this that makes the album work so well. Firstly Michael Leunig reads one of his picture-of-innocence, charm-laden, spell-casting poems in his uniquely lugubrious way, and then that same poem is set to music and sung my Katie Noonan in a voice that is as ethereal as Leunig's is rooted in the earth. This happens with 10 poems, and it is like looking at the same set of words through two different kaleidoscopes: one of muted browns and yellows, and one of flaring golds and silvers. The compositions are attributed to Leunig, Noonan and Noonan's two collaborators in Elixir: her husband Zac Hurren on saxophones and that great Australian sorcerer of the electric guitar, Steve Magnusson. As well as the latter pair's delightful solos, string arrangements flesh out some pieces, while others are left more naked, like a monochrome Leunig cartoon. The words mostly wry observations and homespun philosophies of coping seem made for song. Try these from Love Is Born: "Love is born/With a dark and troubled face,/When hope is dead/And in the most unlikely place; Love is born/Love is always born." JOHN SHAND EXPERIMENTAL/AMBIENT Soap & Skin FROM GAS TO SOLID/YOU ARE MY FRIEND (PIAS) "Just as you wanted to avoid it, you already hold it in your hand," sings Anja Plaschg in the closing line of Athom. It is unclear whether she's happy or not about this state of affairs, and that is the push-me-pull-you paradox at the heart of the Austrian songwriter's third album as Soap & Skin. Plaschg has said these new songs are about separation, forgiveness and healing. There is an intensity and intimacy here that make it obvious that she is dragging some personal demons to the surface. Her vocal delivery is a blend of Nico's Teutonic tones and Bjork's child-like clarity, while the instrumentation uses live playing and then cuts it up and reassembles the parts. Italy tips its hat to Suicide, as whirring organ winds around a preset rhythm, the free-form patchwork of horns and strings in Heal echo David Bowie's Blackstar, and (This Is) Water sounds like a duet between monks and mermaids. Plaschg closes by covering What a Wonderful World (made famous by Louis Armstrong). The song so often used to soundtrack cinematic happy endings is sung over a spooked backing that suggests Plaschg is, at best, cautiously optimistic about the state of her world. BARRY DIVOLA [embedded content] CLASSICAL Alfred Brendel LIVE IN VIENNA (Decca) How wonderful that 10 years after Alfred Brendel finally left the concert platform at 77 we should have two "new" marvellous performances. Both were recorded live in Vienna, one being the Schumann piano concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Simon Rattle in 2001, and the other a 1979 account of Brahms' Handel Variations. Brendel, for me, is close to the perfect pianist: a flawless technique always at the service of the music; idiomatic interpretations that always sound exactly right; a cool intelligent naturalness, but not at the expense of vitality. He has recorded the Schumann at least three times previously, but this is surely the Brendel ideal: the pianist's delicacy and subtlety matched by the Vienna musicians and Rattle, and the recording is first rate. Brendel never recorded the Handel Variations in the studio, saying in the album notes he found the "neo-classicist/neo-baroque corset" irritating, but he reconsidered the Variations' merits when he heard this performance from Austrian Radio archives, and registered the "wealth of different characters, the colour, economy and masterful disposition of the pieces". He's right, and we are much the richer for it. BARNEY ZWARTZ SOUNDTRACK Phillip Johnston THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED (Asynchronous) If you've seen the film, to hear the music is to have the magical images once more dancing before your eyes. The Adventures of Prince Achmed is Phillip Johnston's score for the revolutionary silent feature film of that name made in 1926 by Lotte Reiniger, which brings tales from The Arabian Nights to life in silhouette animation. Johnston's intricate score (for his own soprano sax, James Greening's trombone, and the keyboards of Alister Spence and Casey Golden, plus recorded loops, samples and Nic Cecire's drums), only deepens the mystery of the images, while highlighting the humour, drama, and, of course, romance. To listen to it independently of the film to be struck by the breadth of musical ideas that can hurl themselves from zaniness once moment to explosive grooves the next, and on to eerie beauty, while leaving scope for pithy little solos. Simultaneously Johnston has released a new album from his band the Coolerators, Diggin' Bones, on which he is joined by Spence, Cecire and Necks bassist Lloyd Swanton. This presents another facet of his music: a love of aerated, groovy, organ-based jazz. They are both worth the cost of admission in their own ways. JOHN SHAND POP Say Lou Lou IMMORTELLE (a Deux/Cosmos) On their Spotify artist page Swedish-Australian duo Say Lou Lou have created several playlists, including one called Opium. "Haze, smoke, sheets, somewhere between waking and sleeping, silk, Arabian wood," is how they describe it, and this also sums up the sound and aesthetic of Immortelle. Comprising genetically blessed twins Miranda and Elektra Kilbey (daughters of the Church's Steve Kilbey), Say Lou Lou combined breathy vocals and wistful melodies with pretty, gauzy, production on their 2015 debut, Lucid Dreaming. The effect was alluring, but also somewhat anaesthetising. They relocated from Stockholm to Los Angeles to record this follow-up, which swaps their debut's gossamer textures for a smokier, more noirish sound. Bond film soundtracks are an audible influence in sweeping, sultry songs such as Ana and Limbo, which adds trip-hop horns and smoulder, and on Phantoms and Immortelle they recall another Swedish sister duo, First Aid Kit, albeit in a muted, misty form. Their cover of Under the Milky Way, penned by their father and mother, Karin Jansson, is a tasteful, beguiling interpretation. Like smoke, though, these songs tend to disappear without leaving a lasting impression.

What Evers lacks in sizzle, Democrats are hoping he compensates for with a document of clashes with Walker over schooling… After years of doing battle with unions and pushing conservative laws, Walker could be the one Republican who will get Wisconsin Democrats as agitated as President Donald Trump does. And that, say some Democratic officers within the state, is perhaps sufficient in a 12 months like this. … Whereas speak of rolling again Walker’s accomplishments has dominated the Democratic major, Republicans have already sought to outline the phrases of the marketing campaign.

It is unclear what Nicholson’s get-out-the-vote effort consists of, however he is benefited from tens of millions of dollars in tv promoting by outdoors teams funded by Illinois businessman Richard Uihlein.” Scandals on the minds of Minnesota voters – MinnPost: “Allegations towards two DFL candidates in contested primaries for main statewide workplaces — Keith Ellison and Lori Swanson— grew to become public after hundreds of Minnesotans had already voted throughout the state’s no-excuse absentee and early voting interval. And although Minnesota permits voters to ‘claw-back’ their ballots to recast them, the window for doing so expired every week earlier than the election, final Tuesday, which suggests there could also be some remorse among the many 100,000 or so voters who took benefit of the early voting course of. The latest of the allegations targeted on U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison. … The Ellison accusation grew to become public simply as DFLers had been absorbing an earlier sequence of reviews — first within the web site The Intercept after which confirmed and expanded upon by the Star Tribune and others — that Legal professional Normal Lori Swanson had frequently used her workplace and workers for political functions. … Republicans have been taking some pleasure within the allegations towards the pair of distinguished DFLers, however particularly these towards Ellison.”

Tina Smith to interchange Franken, and he or she faces a major problem from College of Minnesota regulation professor Richard Painter, a former Republican and White Home ethics lawyer throughout the George W. Bush administration. On the Republican facet, state Sen. Karin Housley gained the occasion endorsement and is the clear front-runner. No huge surprises are anticipated in Klobuchar’s race. State Rep.Jim Newberger is more likely to decide up the GOP nomination to problem her within the fall.”
Pawlenty hopes to be the comeback child – AP: “Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is hoping to regain his profitable contact and restart his political profession seven years after his presidential aspirations fizzled. And it’s for a well-recognized place. Pawlenty is the most important title in each events operating in Tuesday’s major for Minnesota governor. Pawlenty faces 2014 nominee and County Commissioner Jeff Johnson. Democrats are selecting amongst U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, state Rep. Erin Murphy and Legal professional Normal Lori Swanson. It’s a high-stakes race in Minnesota. Democrats hope to retain their blockade over a GOP Legislature, whereas Republicans see an opportunity at full authorities management.

Dems susceptible to shedding one other New England seat in Conn. – Fox Information: “In deep-blue Connecticut, which went for Hillary Clinton by double-digits within the 2016 presidential marketing campaign, Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim and rich businessman Ned Lamont are competing for the Democratic nomination to succeed deeply unpopular Gov. Dan Malloy. Malloy, who determined to not search a 3rd time period, was proven by some polls to be the least fashionable governor within the nation, with critics citing the state’s excessive taxes and main price range woes. That is left a gap for Republicans, who wish to proceed to encroach on governorships within the historically liberal New England. The GOP at present holds the governorships of 4 out of six states within the area, together with Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. … Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, former First Selectman Tim Herbst, businessman Steve Obsitnik, former funding banker Bob Stefanowski and former hedge fund supervisor David Stemerman are the candidates for the GOP nomination in Connecticut’s governor race, and so they’ve additionally cited an extra issue: widespread unhappiness with state Democratic management. … Nevertheless, the Republican candidates have disagreed on what to do with the state’s earnings tax. Stefanowski and Boughton have mentioned they wish to get rid of it completely, whereas Stemerman and Obsitnik have balked on the concept.” Will Vermont’s Phil Scott maintain on to his seat? – Burlington Free Press: “Voting is underway in Vermont’s main occasion major elections. … Gov. Phil Scott has encountered sudden turbulence on the street to a second two-year time period and faces a challenger from his personal occasion. In February, the arrest of an 18-year-old accused of planning a highschool taking pictures shook Scott into relenting on his longtime opposition to gun regulation. Scott’s choice to signal a package deal of gun restrictions opened a brand new rift within the Vermont Republican Social gathering, which had already been divided over President Donald Trump, immigration regulation enforcement and well being care. The governor’s major opponent Keith Stern, a wholesale grocer and political newcomer from North Springfield, has benefited from an energized gun-rights base that accuses Scott of betrayal. … On the Democratic facet, 4 gubernatorial hopefuls are vying for the nomination. Not one of the 4 Democrats has beforehand held statewide elected workplace, forcing every to emphasise his or her enterprise or group management. The sector features a former utility govt, Christine Hallquist; a water high quality activist, James Ehlers; a dance pageant organizer, Brenda Siegel; and a rising highschool freshman, Ethan Sonneborn.

TIME OUT: READING MUSIC The Atlantic: “Alfred Brendel, one of many biggest pianists of the 20th century, can also be an awesome author. You possibly can usually detect a good-natured smirk behind his phrases, however proper there with it’s a genuinely humane seriousness. His writing, all the time partaking, strikes a steadiness between solemn reflection and plain wit. An ideal instance of this steadiness will be present in his 1985 essay ‘A Mozart Participant Offers Himself Recommendation,’ the place Brendel urges the reader to reject the thought of Mozart as sugar-sweet and valuable. He writes that ‘the lovable Mozart, the perfumed Mozart, the completely ecstatic Mozart, the ‘touch-me-not’ Mozart, the sentimentally bloated Mozart should all be averted.’ Brendel doesn’t dawdle in attending to the purpose, and when he does, the purpose is sharp.

Doris Brendel, one of the most unique female rock-singers of the last decade, is releasing her 9th album, ‘Eclectica, on Sky-Rocket Recordings on 1st May 2017.
The daughter of famed classical pianist Alfred Brendel, her distinctive vocals were the driving force behind 1990s alt-rockers The Violet Hour, who were signed to Sony when they released their now revered, classic album ‘The Fire Sermon’ in 1991.
After the highly acclaimed album ‘Upside Down World’ which was released in 2015, Brendel forges ahead with the next chapter, once again reflecting her multi-faceted personality with an eclectic collection of songs popularly described as 'Progressive Pop', ‘Eclectica’ spans pop, rock, prog and acoustic and World styles, confronting happy and sad topics with a humorous, angst-ridden style, blending them into a cocktail of sound and meaning.
Once again Brendel has collaborated with producer and multi-instrumentalist Lee Dunham, guitarist of rock/metal band Primary Slave, again using an array of musicians to contribute to the progressive sound while still incorporating Brendel's distinctive, husky vocals. ‘Eclectica’ is like browsing through a filing cabinet containing an array of musical influences. Whatever your tastes there will be something here you love, along with a chance to find some new and some long forgotten aural emotions. Always surprising and predictably unpredictable, it will leave you wanting more of Brendel & Dunham.
Brendel has worked with some notable people over the years, including Alvin Lee, Gary Moore, Sam Brown, Joe Brown, Herbie Flowers, and has toured extensively with Marillion as well as Nils Lofgren, John Farnham and Steve Marriott. She was also offered to sing with Pink Floyd on the Great Gig in the Sky tour, which she had to turn down due to already contracted tour commitments. More recently she has completed 2 tours with Wishbone Ash, as well as appearing at various UK festivals. A European tour is planned for Jan/Feb 2018.
Doris Brendel is one of the most accomplished and exciting live singers on the scene. Apart from first-class musicianship, expect outlandish steam-punk costumes and even laser gloves….
This album is available on CD and download. The CD features beautiful and atmospheric piano link tracks not available in download format, as well as showing off the stunning artwork, with the cover designed by surrealist Igor Morski.
