Oh and a Zombie worm is also a "Bone eating Snot Flower"
Sounds….. lovely.Hey Andyfest,
Yeah, Kevin Shields was on both of those records and they’re both awesome, especially More Light. But they’re Dino/J+the Fog records.
I’m thinking collaboration like, I dunno, Stills/Young Band or something.
Y’know? Or anyway, undisputed classics like "Snow Sleet ’til Smogholm" by The Daniel Johnston / Bryan Ferry Quintet.
That one rocked
!Nicely posted Coma Girl.
OK, I totally take your point. J’s hardly been keeping to himself and yeah, J’s strong, singular vision is what makes his music so wicked, unique and probably peerless.By missed opportunities, let me qualify that by saying that while J has worked with these other great people, I sometimes think I’d love to hear a J Mascis and Mike Watt record, for example. A total collaboration.
Mr Machinery Operator, Ball-Hog, What We Do is Secret etc. all hint at what that might be like. It’s tantalizingly there in my minds ear! Same with the title track of More Light. It’s a total hybrid of My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur. Gimme more more more, with close-ups, y’know?I think it’s almost inescapable that those things suggest themselves but ultimately, sure, they’re just mind wandering what ifs, fantasy band daydreams. What if Lou had never been thrown out of Dinosaur? How about Dave Schools and Kyle on a J + the Fog studio album?I remember reading an interview with Sonic Youth years ago with Thurston dreaming about getting J and Cher(!?) together. What if Eric Dolphy had lived long enough to record with Albert Ayler?
Et cetera, et cetera… pointless meanderings, I know. Ignore me, I’m full of something stinky.
It would be amazing if J and Lou could come up with some new stuff together.
They’re obviously compatible musically and I always thought it was also obvious that the post Lou Dino stuff, great though a lot of of it is, was missing something. They just need to mellow out and let themselves enjoy playing together but sadly I guess we can be almost certain that it ain’t gonna happen.
Another thing, I’ve always wished J was more of a collaborative kinda guy. I mean, the association with Watt and Kevin Shields seem like missed opportunities, y’know? Sometimes I even think J could use a producer.
God Knows who though!Hey,
You’ve probably found the info you want by now but anyway….
I remember seeing this font in an ancient Letraset transfer catalogue.
I’m pretty sure the font was call "Arnold Bocklin" (with a little germanic double dot accent over the "o", don’t know what it’s called you know the one ).Off the top of my head, I seem to remember Arnold Bocklin as being an austrian painter from aroung the art nouveau period. Maybe he was also
a typographer and designed this font.Like I said, I saw it in an old Letraset cat. but this could well be the generic name.
Hope this helped.
