sunday kitchen report

homemade cannelloni, very tasty but I didn’t have a proper crêpes pan available, so they wouldn’t  fly properly.

and you know, flying them is half the fun of it…  :-)

note to self:  get a proper crêpes pan the next time you attempt such endeavour.

Now that the internet has provided disrupting producers with all the tools they need to bypass the existing recorded music system, there should be no excuse for musicians to not go it alone. Yet, the producers – the musicians themselves, remain the problem. I believe that the safety and comfort offered to them in the past – record label deals, publishing deals, old media distribution, plus MTV and commercial radio for the most successful – created a diabolical music Nanny state, an addictive teat at which to suck that they are now having trouble weaning themselves off.

The Nanny state reduced risk taking and danger in popular music. The very founding spirit of rock and roll was danger. Danger as perceived by those who didn’t understand the outburst of energy and excitement that this early musical form drew out of teenagers. Parents and adults in authority voiced their concerns and this led to ridiculous moments in musical history such as TV cameramen being told to only film Elvis Presley from the waist up.. If we fast forward to 1975 in the UK, we find that rock and roll, a mere 20 or so years later, with only a few exceptions, had become commercial, flabby, conservative and mostly dull. Then along came a new genre of music delivered by bands like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxie and the Banshees who injected rock with some street smarts and and sprinkled it with just a soupcon of danger. It was known as Punk Rock.

The whole article is a brilliant, must-read manifesto.

gaga over gaga

quick research indicates that the Gaga stuff amurcans are going bonkers about is actually a lady, like Britney Spears, only worse, and more epidermic.

the musical/choreographic equivalent of jeff koons.

there’s no ‘who’ there….

journalists (!) have made efforts to validate her artistically by likening her aesthetics to some David Bowie phase, but of course they conveniently forget that apart from all that, there was also music in Bowie’s body of work.

you can’t be serious.
