I've been attempting all day to get through to Coop Live @thecooplive.bsky.social to transfer a ticket for tonight's Duran Duran Halloween. The customer service is appallingly nonexistent.

Somebody posted an image of the box that contains them in this thread.

Probably disposed of by printer over forty years ago. Things seldom came back, nor did we think to request them to be returned, nor preserved if they did.

The original artwork has been freshly recreated by me as digital versions did not exist and original artworks long since lost. I've matched as closely as possible, which meant retrieving old fonts and matching colours.

Thanks for the tip. I had heard of it, but not checked it out. Would be great if could transfer my IG posts for sure.

Now lovingly re-issued, with improved audio quality, alongside the other four Magazine studio albums.

I must learn to better utilise this platform. After I gave up twatter a few years ago I turned my attention fully to IG. Now I must find an alternative to that also, but am heavily invested in it with numerous postings across several accounts that I would be sad to lose.

My idealised vision suggests that many bands and labels would be persuaded to cone on board with the objective of developing a fairer system.

Yes it does need a ‘massive’ structure, but that’s exactly what The Cartel was when all the Indie labels came together in the ‘80s to establish an alternative distribution network to the majors.

Good to hear.

Is there an ethical alternative to Spotify, AppleMusic or other streaming platforms that fail to give fair returns to musicians? It’s time to build one.

‘Roman’ salute?!

All Hail Hawkwind! - November 2024 This was the launch event for the new and expanded edition of Sideways Through Time, but also an excellent panel discussion about Hawkwind, featuring myself, Allan Jones, Malcolm Garrett and Cathi Uns...

For those who couldn't make it to the All Hail Hawkwind! event on Sunday, here's the official bootleg of the panel discussion featuring myself, Allan Jones, Malcolm Garrett & Cathi Unsworth, chaired by Travis Elborough: www.daysoftheunderground.com/post/all-hai...

That’s where my dad worked. :-)

Good to be here. I’ve been here for some time but not engaged for a while.

I’ve yet see the re-issues. Should collect some tomorrow. :-)

Only MySpace and AOL

New project for Bury Art Museum “Rooms To Live” is an art project devised by Andy Webster. The type (and the exhibition) takes its cue from the Captain Beefheart album Trout Mask Replica, with installations, performances and art. You can see early @malcolmgarrett.bsky.social art in the show too.

So looking forward to the opening of this at Bury Art Museum on Sat 11 Nov.

Delighted to say I have 3 very early paintings in the exhibition.
