Latest update Thu, December 1, 2011 16:49


Welcome to the website! Focused on Martin Gordon's musical activities, both Mammalian and otherwise, as bassist, composer, producer, incredulous bystander and wilful participant: see the biography above. For his band activity, see bands. See what we did there? Now you're getting it...

For all crustaceans who dare to dream of a fairer future, especially those from the class Malacostraca, including lobsters and crabs but excluding woodlice.

But at least, woodlice, you are better off than members of the species Arion vulgaris, who are frankly banned from this website. They, nasty, slimy, mucous-emitting creatures that they are, are unwelcome here, to put it bluntly.


Facebook YouTube Newsletter

We done got a newsletter, innit. You gotta be able to read, though. Perhaps your cell mate can spell out the phonemes for you? It comes out about every six weeks. Add yourself to the newsletter list here or leave a note in the Guestbook or on the Forum.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Recent news - 2011

Sept 3

Are you dead?

Then this will give you New Hope. Todd Rundgren's 'Tiny Demons', performed by MG's Mira ensemble at the Montreux Jazz Festival of 1997. You probably saw it just up there.

The most recent Newsletter sums up all the other new stuff. It's what newsletters do, isn't it. Random, well hardcore. There's the Finnish version of John's Children performing 'No Russians', mammalian overviews... and more. Check it out.

Archive video disinterred

One-time Sparks and Boxer guitarist Adrian Fisher talks to the BBC's 'Expats' programme in 1999 about his ex-patriate life in Thailand. He died the following year. See also Adrian Fisher's interviews on the Sparks page.

The Blue Meanies perform their only b-side on an Engish TV show. The parrot is nowhere to be seen. The a-side will appear in due course.

An annotated Guide to Mole Behaviour and Ideal Living Conditions. It is very important that they have enough living space or lebensraum, as the German wittily refer to it...

Cover of Radio Stars tune by Swedish band Scratch

And it also features the groovy Sviidish girlband Baskery on bvs. Quick, nurse, pass the electroencephalograph. But it is on MySpace, so you'll need to have half an hour to spare before it even loads into your browser.

Chris Townson/Andy Ellison interviews

Our heroes are featured in the forthcoming book 'Wired Up! Glam, Post-Punk & Bubblegum European Picture Sleeves 1970-1976'. With a nice snappy title like that, they need all the support you can give them. Chris talks (well, 'talked', I suppose, to be accurate, but we like to present-tense everything around here, much more snappy and compelling) to Phil King about John's Children, Jook, Sparks and Jet, Andy talks about JC, Jet and Radio Stars - excerpts here. And more to follow...

It's that bass...

Post-Kimono, post-Jet it ended up in the hands of Paul Gray, before it fell to bits, or so he says.

Mr Moose he is come back isn't it

Oh no, what should we have done. The reality behind 'Head in a Coup' from Hogwash, from the archives.
