An open letter to the editors of Mojo Magazine

Are you guys so jaded and cynical about your American readers that you think you can’t sell a magazine over here unless it has some tired old American rock act on it? I was annoyed when you put Santana on the US issue instead of Kate Bush, incredibly irritated when Jim Morrison replaced a striking New Order cover, but you went too far for November 2004. Velvet fucking Revolver instead of John Peel? What the hell? Are you trying to generate negative sales?

1962front

Previous entries on the 1967 and 1973 discs.

1967 CDR 700 Go!

Finally finished up my 1967 entry to the CDR 700 Go! series. The object is to fill up a 700MB CD-R with mp3s of songs released in a given year. No other guidelines – some folks went with hits, some with obscurity, some with both. Here’s the 1973 comp I did earlier to give you an idea. There’s so much great stuff released in 1967 (I started with a 3.2GB pile of tracks), that a thoroughly complete collection could take up a couple CD-Rs, so right off I axed just about anything that’s common on classic rock radio.

1967_cdrgo_front

Now on to 1962!

Dogs and cats living together… Mass hysteria!

Senator John Cornyn (R – TX) is afraid that gay marriage will lead to a slippery slope Sodom & Gomorrah of marrage absurdity

“It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. . . . Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.”

So why stop there?.

John then listed the stuff he plans to marry. Not long afterwards, Victoria at Unspeakable Vitrine picked up the meme and came up with her own list.

Now that the bedrock of Western Civilization has been irrevocably shattered here in Portland, I realize that it’s time for me also to be lawfully wed to a selection of animals, objects and concepts. Here’s my list. I encourage you to post your own. Remember, an elected official has made it clear that if you can marry someone with the same bathroom parts, you can marry ANYTHING. Have fun, and happy marriage!

Therefore, I intend to marry:

The box turtle, because The Man is putting them down.

Bill Drummond will make you soup

drummond_soupWhat is Bill doing? Making soup for the UK.

Bill Drummond has been involved in a number of what he himself calls “reckless schemes”. In 1992, at the height of his pop fame with the KLF, he and his partner, Jimi Cauty, exited the music business by “machine-gunning” the audience at the Brit awards with blanks, causing the composer Georg Solti to flee in terror. Two years later, as avant-pranksters the K Foundation, the duo burned £1m on the Hebridean isle of Jura. Drummond’s latest wheeze, however, is arguably his most surreal. He is visiting complete strangers and making soup for them.

It started like this: in May 1998, Drummond, whose culinary training consists of watching his mum in the kitchen, made soup for a “rabble of people” in a house in Botanic Avenue, Belfast. In January 2003, he made soup for some folk in Ewart Road, Nottingham. Then, in June last year, he took a map of the British Isles and drew a line across it, so it cut through Belfast and Nottingham and ended up at Ipswich. Drummond’s promotional flyers explain: “He made it known that anybody living on this Soup Line was welcome to invite him to their home to make soup for their family and friends. If asked why, Bill Drummond is likely to answer, ‘Because it is a friendly thing to do.'”

Details on the project are at Penkiln Burn. To ask Bill Drummond to visit your home to make soup, email soupline@penkilnburn.com.
