Shindig! No.134

 

It's the Shindig! magazine end-of-year issue featuring Aphrodite's Child, The Spencer Davis Group, frosty winter sounds, and the seasonal love-in that is the 2022 Writers' Poll. My non-xmas-themed Vinyl Art column, on the other hand, is just plain Bull.

Arts Society Granta

Next Monday I'll be at the Arts Society Granta in Cambridge, talking about clothes on film. Looking forward to it enormously!

Shindig! No.131

 Terrific cover story in this month's Shindig! magazine, out today, on the true rebel rock royalty that is Marianne Faithfull. Superb stuff throughout of course, including more Arthur Brown, Misty, The Lemon Pipers, Dennis Hopper - plus I get TWO pages to play with for a special Vinyl Art, for which I was lucky enough to enter the rarefied orbit of the wonderful Cathy Young. Snap this one up, or better yet - subscribe!

Shindig! No.130

This week is Shindig! week, and once you've enjoyed the burning head-braziers and Wombles within, you'll find my little Vinyl Art column, this month going all Majorcan in time for the holidays. Subscribe!

The Sound of Fear

Assuming that they've bent the railway lines back into shape, I'll be heading up to King's Lynn on Friday to talk for two hours about music in horror films, before the evening screening of Nosferatu with live music from Minima Music.

Shindig! No.129

For this month's Shindig! Magazine I was lucky enough to sit down transatlantic-style with ex-Limelight Records boss Robin McBride and hear about that whirlwind spell at the end of the '60s when the label turned out discs by the Fifty Foot Hose, Ruth White, Beaver & Krause, and a host of other psychedelic electronic pioneers. You can enjoy the results of my good fortune - and disagree with my choice of ten lesser known tracks from the label's brief but storied history - in a special Deep Cuts Extra.

Elsewhere this issue, Mr Bongo, Cymande, Annie Nightingale, '90s albums, Zal Yanovsky, and the mag goes into the record business. Snap it up from a newsagent shelf near you this very day or better yet, subscribe!

Shindig! No.128

Cast your vote of confidence in the transformative power of rock and roll and pick up Shindig! Magazine No.128, this month featuring a bunch of cool stuff including The Staple Singers, Al Stewart, and a little bit of me chatting to Crispian Mills about that new Kula Shaker disc. Orderrrrr!
