26.5.022:49 PM Sunday and it rains and it shines here in Hackney. Head off with wife to the Transit Gallery (it's just round the corner, not really make much of an effort on the art front today) to see Simon Faithfull's show. For once a listings mag, maybe Timeout (?), had actually done a write up that made you want to go and see something rather than just thinking the writer's a complete tosser and it was well worth it. Three pictures of the artist's dog, Carter, reproduced on the gallery walls using white and licquorice cigarette papers (show's called Dog Ends) following a bitmap 1-bit grid which the blurb somewhere tells me were originally drawn on a palm pilot. I know the dog is called Carter because we bumped into Melanie and Billie who happened to be there at the same time as us. Billie told me she'd played with Carter quite proudly. This is OK though as Billie is a small child. There's a good write up on Artforum.

CATFUNT ONLINE BOOKSHOP - art and poetry department : The Photography Book: Ian Jeffrey Beowulf: translated by Seamus Heaney Airline : Identity, Design and Culture: Keith Lovegrove Bass Culture: Lloyd Bradley and Prince Buster Letters on America: Edward Fella Lester Young Reader: Lewis Porter WORK FROM 1975-1996: David Levinthal | CATFUNT MUSIC:
Guy Barker - Soundtrack Probably Barker's best so far. I saw him years ago in Birmingham playing, I think, as part of a back up band for Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson. He wore a crap double breasted suit in a sort of gangster noirish style. He might not look it but the music is beautiful. Pirates Choice - Orchestra Baobab The original Pirates Choice vinyl album makes up disc one of this two-CD set of the same name at the bargain price of 11.99 UKP. Saw them twice with Damian this year and they were magnificent. If you buy it and don't like it we'll send you something else (of our choice). Opera Heroes - Tito Gobbi 16 tracks including Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi and other Ninja Turtles. Highly recommended at 8.99 UKP. Deep Ska - 4 CDs 75 tracks including James Bond, Occupation and Shanty Town all for 12.99 UKP. Back to Back: Johnny Hodges and Duke Ellington - great LP, jazz or otherwise. The second album and the first rehearsal tapes: Suicide Who Put the Voodoo 'pon Reggae? Lee Perry - a personal favourite to play between the tube and work. Arkology: Lee Perry - a bargain, top Perry and only 20 quid for 3 CDs. Jazz Giants: Lester Young - includes I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plan and I Didn't Know What Time It Was. Fantastic. Lester Young story: Lester Young - 4 disc set of early Lester. Where Jazz Giants has the appealing weariness this is prime exuberant tenor playing mostly from the pre-war years. | ART THINGS WE LIKE: ART RUMOURS: UNDERCOVER EXPOSE OF THE ART WORLD ART WEBSITES: A LIST OF UK ART WEBSITES HIROSHI SUGIMOTO AT WHITE CUBE 2 FILM: BILLY ELLIOT APOCALYPSE AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY SONIC BOOM: THE ART OF SOUND |
