A pair of Huysmans covers<\/a> from 1978 designed by G\u00e9rard Deshayes.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Friends of the great composer\/musician Jon Hassell set up a GoFundMe account<\/a> a few days ago to help raise money for Jon’s medical costs. It’s always dispiriting having to link to these fund-generators when they shouldn’t be required at all but until America sorts out its health situation this is how things are. For those who’d prefer to help Jon by buying his music, there’s a Bandcamp<\/a> page with a handful of releases, and more available at Bleep<\/a>, the online distributor of Warp Records who helped produce his last release, Listening To Pictures (Pentimento Volume One)<\/em>.

\u2022 Every time I think I must have heard all the best of the early Kraftwerk concerts another one turns up. This new posting at YouTube<\/a> is taken from a recent file upload at the concert-swapping site Dimedozen, and is believed to be a radio recording of the group playing in Vancouver, Canada, in 1975. It’s very good quality (some slight bleed from other stations) and features excellent versions of their concert repertoire at that time. The version of Autobahn<\/em> is especially good.<\/p>\n

\u2022 in 2009 Dana Mattocks built a machine he called Steampunk Frankenstein<\/em><\/a>, a construction which was attended by a frame containing my first piece of steampunk art. Dana’s latest creation is TILT, the Robot with Rocket Jet-Pack<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Tony Allen<\/a>, the drummer about whom Fela Kuti said “without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat”. Allen was interviewed by John Doran<\/a> in 2012. Related: Tony Allen: the Afrobeat pioneer’s 10 finest recordings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
