Mike Terry RIP


Mike Terry, one of my favourite producers of all time, has passed away.

With a muscular but melodic production style, he leaves a legacy of Northern Soul productions that speak of heartbreak and ecstasy in a way that few can match.

Some words from "17" by Bill Drummond:

"What this bloke seemed to be saying to us was that if you want to do something,
don't wait to be asked or given permission by anyone, be it your mother, teacher,
peer group, music press, record companies or art establishments.

The fact that you may lack confidence and don't know what the f**k you
are trying to do should not be reasons for not doing whatever it is.

There will be a million people out there who will want to let you know that you are sh*t. Ignore them.
There will be others who think that without their validation what you are doing is worthless. Ignore them.

This, if anything, has been the guiding principle in everything that I have tried to do ever since.
I am a person riddled with insecurities but that one day in the Deaf School made me think 'F**k 'em!' "

You might have some glowing reviews of the new UK independent film
"The Waiting Room"
starring Anne Marie Duff and Ralph Little. It's a film about relationships, and love at first sight, with a twist.
Do check it out if you can, and keep your ears peeled during the "dancing-in-the-livingroom" scene,
the anthemic techno track in the background is something I put together with an old friend :)

The Waiting Room

Described as "the sound of one lip kissing" on their MySpace. Very good live.

In loving memory of Mary Lunny, who passed away in March.
An extraordinary woman, missed and remembered, rest in peace.

***

We start this mixtape with Buddy Miles, who passed away in February.
his version of Down By The River remains a stone cold classic.

If you like any of this music, you really need these two websites in your life:
http://funky16corners.wordpress.com : http://fufustew.wordpress.com
You should also check out the radio stylings of Mr Fine Wine here.

***

Some timely words from Kurt Vonnegut, who passed away this time last year:

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media,
and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful."

I hope so.... read the rest of Blues For America here, interview here, quotes here.

. . : : Firstborn - When It Hits you Feel No Pain : : . .

A few years ago I made an album for Independente under the name of Firstborn.
Its one of the things I'm proudest of, and includes musical heroes and heroic friends.
Here it is: When It Hits You Feel No Pain

***

. . : : Hollace Metzger, artist / poet / architect / photographer : : . .

Someone who speaks from an intimate, personal perspective, but reaches out, and connects
with thousands of people through online galleries, blogs, and particularly MySpace. Fascinating.

"Observing The Labyrinth From Heaven" is her new collection of poetry and photographs.
You can order it online, or download it from virb.com, the spoken word audiobook is coming soon.

. . : : The Brian Jonestown Massacre : : . .

The MySpace blog of Anton Alfred Newcombe gets more relevant every day,
a sobering, frightening, and darkly hilarious digest of world events and great music clips.
I wish he had his own TV show, but maybe a MySpace blog can be just as powerful: click here

A bunch of tracks by Marxman (a band I was in some time ago) were recently uploaded
for a forthcoming article in Dublin's State Magazine. Click here to peruse and download.
By request, my Christmas/NYE podcast 2006 has been re-uploaded, four hours of good tunes, click here.
***
Other stuff:
John Niven's "Kill Your Friends". A gleeful Hunter S. style coked-up demolition of the music industry
full of familiar names and close to the bone anecdotes. Its tremendously dark, funny and filthy... click here.
***
So...as we say farewell to St Patrick let us consider the words of G. Massey, from Zeitgeist:
"They must find it difficult...
Thos who have taken authority as the truth,
Rather than truth as the
authority"

***
Wherever you are in the world, have a good one.
