I am really excited to be part of this special group show put together by @offthekerb .

My image (top of this
post) 'Spring days 2022'. is a mixed media version of my image - Flora #31, July 2022.
This was a Multiple exposure on Velvia 100, 35mm film. I then printed
it on matte archival paper and used goauche and watercolur to tone down
the distracting areas. It is framed and a unique piece.

It has been a long while since i posted about new music on here, a friend reminded me.
So here I am, thank you E.M. xx.
These are a few things I have stumbled across and am enjoy of late.
Jim Ford- : 'Go Through Sunday'.
I don't know much about Jim Ford. he was born in 1941, released one LP
in his life (Harlan county' in 1969) and died in 2007. This track is
from a collection of singles and unreleased masters which came out in
the year he died. I know I really like this track and it makes me wonder what could have been for Jim...

Max Richter- 'Little Requiems' from the LP 'Voices'.
I love Max Richter and while I am yet to listen to this Lp as a whole, the concept is fascinating.
according
to really great article in pitchfork magazine, it is based on
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. read more here:
A
while back, my boss at my day job suggested I check out Little Simz. He
had seen her live and was blown away. So began my love of her 2019 LP
'Grey Area'. Little Simz was born Simbiatu "Simbi" Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, In the U.K. to Nigerian parents.
This track 'Woman' (featuring Cleo), has such a great groove and is from her upcoming LP 'Sometimes I might be introvert [sic]'.
Dry Cleaning- 'Scratchcard Lanyard'
Dry
Cleaning are an English post punk/art rock band that utilise a spoken
style, against a wall of driving music. They have released their first
LP 'New Long leg'. I am still not sure if I love the LP yet, but it is
widely hailed as one of the best LP's of the year so far.
The Reds, Pinks and Purples - 'Uncommon weather'.
I love this LP. It reminds me of 80's indie, lo fi alternate pop music.
A
time when songs didn't outstay their welcome. Itwas also a time when
making an earnest, heartfelt creative/musical statement was more
important that polish and production.
According
to the Label's website (tough Love records), Glenn Donaldson is The
Red's, Pinks and Purples, and he self recorded and mostly self-performed
this LP. They also state " The Reds, Pinks and Purples' third album,
called "Uncommon Weather," is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco
— during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians
and artists"
