Enjoyed that earlier too.
There was one with FKA Twigs where she seemed to say her family was from Birmingham: a small part of London?!?(unless I misheard)
It took me an hour or so to track down the mixer he has as I donât frequent gear sites much these days, have to say it ticks all the boxes, wish I had a spare 5k

Anyone else reckon itâs very derivative of this tune? Skip to 1.33 on the BOC tracks to see what I mean.

Yeah I get the similarities. Was it unconscious or deliberate? Itâs not a particularly unusual guitar sound.
Watched this the other day as well, went down a right rabbit hole. He has a ted talk, plays on some bjork stuff apparently. Ted talk has a couple of his inventions on it. Bananas - got to love it!

Lilewise, I ended up searching out more about him and read this article.

I just checked, sheâs from Cheltenham! I tried watching the episode but one of the cameras wasnât properly focused and I found it too annoying
For such a groundbreaking band, the Velvet Underground has little footage of them performing live. That was why in 2019 is was extremely exciting to see Texas film archives uncover three films of the Velvet Underground performing at the Dallas Peace Moratorium on October 15th, 1969. These films where: a short 16mm documentary of the event with some audio and picture of the Velvets performing (and Sterling Morrison being interviewed), a silent 16mm B-roll of outtakes from this doc, and a silent 8mm home movie shot from the audience.
I was curious, would it be possible to take all of this footage and try to sync it to a live recording for an approximation of what it wouldâve been like to see the Velvet Underground perform live?
Luckily only a few days after the event on October 19th, a fan would make one of the best live recordings of the Velvet Underground at the End of Cole Ave. club in Dallas.
So now the hard part was, which song has the most footage them playing? From the doc there were sync sound snippets of âIâm Waiting for the Manâ, âBeginning to See the Lightâ, and âIâm Set Freeâ. To figure out the silent footage, I had to do a lot of lip reading. And as luck would have it, most of the other silent footage was also of âWaiting for the Manâ.
With another stroke of luck, it appears like they performed âWaiting for the Manâ almost identically across the two shows. So with a little bit of fudging, I tried to get âBeginning to See the Lightâ, âIâm Set Freeâ, and all the other footage synced up to the best of my ability. Itâs not perfect, but Iâm very happy with the results.
A big thanks to the Texas Archive of the Moving Image, and the G. William Jones Film & Video Collection at SMU for posting such incredible footage!

Yeah, bit too close.
I lived in Brighton in the late 90âs / early 00âs, and my partner at the time was friendly with Ian Duryâs daughter Jemima. She was lovely. We had some very messy nights out together.

No way! It is indeed a very small world. We had a set routine on weekends. My partner would go off to the trance night at Pressure Point, and me and my mates would head off to the Jazz Rooms or The Zap and then weâd all get together later⌠a little spangled and worse for wear.
