Group I (Convertible Series, 2010) by Monir Farmanfarmaian<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The four albums recorded by Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis under the name Dome<\/a> are being reissued by Editions Mego<\/a> together with Gilbert & Lewis’s Yclept<\/em> album. I always preferred Gilbert & Lewis in their Dome incarnation (and Colin Newman solo) to the punk and post-punk stylings of their former band, Wire<\/a>. Dome were (among other things) eccentric, awkward, noisy, hypnotic and experimental. Their recordings seemed to go largely unnoticed in the early 1980s so it’s good to see them being reissued.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A Children\u2019s Treasury of American Cops Brutally Attacking Citizens<\/a>: “…it takes quite a lot of tax money to keep a bunch of vicious thugs overfed and dressed like junior Darth Vaders with their portable hard-ons, on the off-chance some college kids might one day peacefully sit outside to protest this nation\u2019s revolting descent.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Stevenson, as has been said, was disarmingly candid about the material he borrowed for Treasure Island<\/em>. One name, however, is missing from the extensive catalogue of self-confessed ‘plagiarisms’.” John Sutherland<\/a> at the TLS.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Messiaen’s advice was revelatory. ‘You have the good fortune of being an architect and having studied special mathematics’, he told Xenakis<\/a>. ‘Take advantage of these things. Do them in your music.'”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “They always said punk was an influence. Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, what a load of old shit that was. It’s Thatcherite art care of Saatchi & Saatchi.” And don’t ask Jamie Reid<\/a> about the Sex Pistols.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dennis Cooper<\/a> is interviewed at Lambda Literary. I was surprised last week to find my recent post<\/a> about William Burroughs’ The Wild Boys<\/em> linked on a feature about the novel at Cooper’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cosmic Geometry: The art of Monir Farmanfarmaian<\/a> at The Paris Review<\/em>. Related: Monir Farmanfarmaian<\/a> at the Haines Gallery, San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Paleolithic phallic art suggests that many early European men scarred, pierced and tattooed their penises<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 FACT mix 301<\/a> is a selection of dub tracks, dubstep pieces and Middle Eastern songs compiled by Kahn.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Who left a tree, then a coffin in the library?<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Little Journal of Rejections<\/em><\/a> (1896).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clive finished another painting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Great Salt Desert of Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep Drawing<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
