Welcome to the website! Focused on Martin Gordon's musical activities, both Mammalian and otherwise, as bassist, composer, producer, incredulous bystander and wilful participant. Sparks, Jet, Radio Stars, the Rolling Stones, Blur, Kylie... the list is endless and exhausting. For his biography, discography and all that other stuff, see the Stuff link above; for band activity, see Bands. See what we did there? This site is dedicated to 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 - are not welcome here. We done got a newsletter, innit. You gotta be able to read, though. Perhaps your cellmate can spell out the phonemes for you? It comes out about every six weeks, or longer when we are being sued by troglodyte burglar-fetishists and/or cheese-maniacs. Add yourself to the newsletter list here. And do leave a note in the Guestbook or on the Forum. For the latest news, look here. |

Cover of Radio Stars tune by Swedish band ScratchAnd 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 interviewsOur 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 itOh no, what should we have done. The reality behind 'Head in a Coup' from Hogwash, from the archives. |
