Editors Note: Bobcart, resident site cartoonist, put this up today in memoriam of local muso Wayne Knight, a regular out at the Carousel Jam. I asked Bob about the poster and he said 'I was going though my stuff and found this poster I did for Wayne a few years ago.'
Wayne passed on about two years ago, Bob was remembering him and I figured it was worth sharing the Story. It might make more sense of the poster.
Bob's one of the few sydney artists doing original poster artwork work for cheap, for little known local musicians and we're proud to have art by Robert Carter on the site.
And so we remember Wayne and acknowledge the part of him made immortal in the art of Bobcart.
Long live you Originals, you uniques, you strange ones. Your friends in the Stormcellar celebrate you.
I'm having happy mood swings between profound excitement at the prospect of DC coming down and hanging out, not to mention our additional special visitor, noted music activitst Mr D.G. and moment of confusion as I stare at a cost comparison between rental cars.
I am now the Band Appopinted Chairman of the Stormcellar Musician Welcoming and Tourism Council. (thats SCMWATC for short. say it with me now. scmwatc...)
DIY-Muso's-R-US.
Doing it locally means confronting the prices we try and charge tourists. OMG we skin'em
Thats right Hire Car companies, I'm talking to you!
First world problems indeed.
Arent you came to this site? We keep it real.
Howdy folks.
I have a rare quiet morning and I've been listening to and transcoding the current crop of tunes in development.
In particular i'm enjoying another reggae style thing.
The correct way to phrase our ongoing output is that there's no one to stop us. Mr Wizard calls it 'pursuit of the undeniable'.
Our sometime producer and patron Mr Doherty and I have chuckled over the concept of 'more than we can afford to record'. Yikes. We've gotten a taste of Primo Studio Goodness and there's no way back man, no way, you don't know what it's like...err..
So yep. With Everywhere Feels Like Home 2 songs away from going in the can, then mastering, pressing, releasing oh boy...Meanwhile, we'd like to go get the next batch of songs recorded so we can get on with writing the current crop.
Watching the evolution of the songwriting has been fascinating.
I've mentioned the battle between complexity and simplicty before. Mr Wizard takes his cues from the modernity of limited attention spans, the need for change. This clashes with the hypnotic groove factor that we draw from the Blues and world music styles. Bill loves the complexity because he's a hardcore Jazz enthusiast. Theo favours more energy than less where possible. Rosie likes long outtros with beautiful simple fills.
As for me?
I say put all the ideas in a particle accelerator, fire them into each other and watch what flies out! It's tension, it's drama, it's awesome and i get to listen to it as the songs start, collide with new ideas, explode, reform and collide again. I can't share these dang things till we get them recorded...oh well..come to a gig and hear them in development.
Our mate from the states is coming out and its gonna be a very busy time for DC and the boys as we hit the road and go touring with DC BELLAMY wooh Hoo!!!
Ooh!
The double entendres are chorusing in my head. Heh.
Way to go T-man, here's the ad for the app that allows yout to take 5 selfies and send them over the interwebs to people of your choosing. What will you use it for?
I have several suggestions already.
ROFL...I know it's purely innocent but the mind boggles. Heh.
