Many observers of the smoking wreckage which now passes for our banking system have opined that, in addition to being hobbled by a fragmented regulatory system riddled with overlapping and ill-defined responsibilities, the regulators who were supposed to be watching the chicken coop were woefully overmatched by the foxes.
The Epicurean Dealmaker on how best to regulate the banking system.
The first reviews are sounding really positive.
I can’t wait.
Here is an (almost) exclusive chance to check the title track from the forthcoming ‘Reflections On Creation and Bass‘ long player “People at the End of Time”. I’ve got the finished article on heavy repeat in itunes, and whilst I may be a little biased (it being made by my brother and all) I genuinely think it’s one of the heaviest things I’ve heard all year.
We are in the process of sorting out some live shows for later in the year (and a possible Ulysses82 collaboration) and I will fill you in on the release details when I get them.
Till then, the future starts here.
It sounds really true to the book, which is both a good and a bad thing.
Still not sure if I really want to put my head back there.
At least you can put a book down, have a drink, and come back to it a couple of hours later.
We’ve spruced up Firemusic a little to give it a bit more flexibity.
There are a whole load of exclusive mixes and tracks from Disco Jesus, Quaid, Ulysses82 and the rest of the firemusic family already on the site and some amazing original music and remixes in the pipeline.
Get involved.
John Fordham on the enduring legacy of Miles’ seminal album;
As is now part of jazz folklore, the New York sessions that produced this remarkable album were completed in a handful of takes over just a few hours, with a minimum of compositional materials. Davis, guided by faith in the powers of his band, knew he was on to something revolutionary, and the outcome has supported that conviction ever since.
This came out of nowhere; a 15 minute preview of the ‘the future’ at select cinemas round the country, more info here.
I’m out of town for this unfortunately, and it’s probably a bit uber-geeky anyway…but, yeah the hype is starting to get to me a little.
(just look at those dropships!!)
Radiohead-still way ahead of the curve and finding ways to make it all seem new (again).
