\u2022 RIP Simon House<\/a>, a musician whose death was announced in the same week as news of a remixed edition of Hall Of The Mountain Grill<\/em><\/a> by Hawkwind, the first of the group’s albums to feature House on violin and keyboards. House’s keyboards made a considerable difference to Hawkwind’s sound, expanding the range of their songwriting; the melodramatic scale of Assault And Battery\/The Golden Void<\/em><\/a> wouldn’t have been possible without those massed Mellotrons. Post-Hawkwind it was House’s violin that was sought after during his time as a session musician, on songs like Yassassin<\/em><\/a> by David Bowie, and Talking Drum<\/em><\/a> by Japan. He’s also one of the musicians credited on Thomas Dolby’s biggest hit, She Blinded Me With Science<\/em><\/a> (violin again), although his contribution there is easy to mistake for a synthesizer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “We did want the name to be weighty and metal-related because it is a kind of a metal band. So what is heavy and what is metal: that was the answer.” Hildur Gu\u00f0nad\u00f3ttir talking about Osmium<\/a>, an experimental quartet comprising Gu\u00f0nad\u00f3ttir with James Ginzburg, Rully Shabara and Sam Slater.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Criterion: Stephanie Zacharek<\/a> on Richard Lester’s The Three Musketeers<\/em> and The Four Musketeers<\/em>, films from a time “when delighting audiences meant more than catering to the predetermined whims of a dogged fandom”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The week in maps: At Public Domain Review, Bernard Sleigh\u2019s Anciente Mappe of Fairyland<\/em><\/a> (ca. 1920 edition); at Nautilus, the first maps of the Earth’s magnetic field<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The eleventh\u00a0installment of Smoky Man\u2019s exploration of The Bumper Book of Magic<\/em> has been posted (in Italian) at (quasi)<\/a>, and in English at Alan Moore World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Not on any map: Mark Valentine<\/a> describes the time he tried to buy a phantom island from the Hudson’s Bay Company.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Colossal: “In surreal portraits, Rafael Silveira tends to the garden of consciousness<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New music: Osmium<\/em><\/a> by Osmium, and Along The Wind Spear<\/em><\/a> by Survey Channel.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Anne Billson chooses Anjelica Huston<\/a>\u2019s ten best roles.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Owls in Towels<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Five Owls<\/em><\/a> (1970) by Canned Heat | Night Owl<\/a> <\/em>(1996) by System 7 | Owls And Flowers<\/em><\/a> (2006) by Belbury Poly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
