An old lecturer of mine told me that his theatre company, Impact, worked a lot with RH on an adaptation of RW. Never happened - they used aspects of it in their show Carrier Frequency, and he went on to trying to get a film made which eventually stole and simplified his ideas and became Mad Max.

I love this! Includes a lovely setting of a James Joyce poem, from the same collection as ‘Golden Hair’, set by Barrett for Madcap Laughs a couple of years before.

Ok, hello again! Yeah he’s an undergrad at Sussex so I’ll just point him at the library. (Or at you I guess!)

I’m sorry I missed this! I’m not in Cambridge but a friend of mine is doing some work on the KLF million pound thing, and destruction - is your talk published anywhere? (Did I meet you with Daniel Kane in Brighton this year?)

Canned French onion soup. You could add porcini or miso or yeast extract but honestly it’s pretty much good to go right out of the can.

I think it’s more that people enjoyed bombing about on Raleigh Choppers and watching The Tomorrow People 50 years ago.

A fantastic episode. Loads of gaps in my understanding filled, side quests initiated, bar facts stored away. Bless you Andrew, this is brilliant work.

Sometimes those records have a bit of magic to them that is really hard to explain. Another example is A Deh Pon Dem by The Soulettes (Rita Marley plus some Wailers I think) made out of The Miracles’ Choosey Beggar. There’s a tone - not melancholy, not sweet - that I don’t think we have a word for.
