THE MICK 47 online NOW!


A feisty little issue - with WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW, MISERYLAB, THE KOFFIN KATS, THE LIMIT CLUB, HEATHER SLATER and ENGINE OF EXCESS. More variety than you might expect and some seriously interesting encounters. I hope you enjoy it.

If you're a fan of Siouxsie Sioux and The Cure, you'll LOVE Edmonton's Cockatoo. The local goth-rockers, led by the exquisite Robyn Bright, are recording an EP, Mysterium Emporium, with producer Ian Martin (Colleen Brown, Stirling, James T. Kirks). The first song, Barricades, is posted on Cockatoo's MySpace page.

Good evening most especially special of the special Ladies and Gentlemen-
a few little whispers in your lovely ears:
we are playing 2 sets tomorrow night upstairs at New City.
We will not have many chances to play before Rod leaves for Thailand so please come warm our hearts with your presence- it will be a gorgeously fun evening!

Also- I am not immune to the desire to brag about this- I'm on the London Burns website listed as a player of their fine guitars (next to Razorlight and Pulp down on the left) which makes me happy!
see! :

from the daily Rumi group this seems to fit for several of us right now! [May. 8th, 2008|10:07 am]




show me your face
i crave
flowers and gardens
open your lips
i crave
the taste of honey
come out from
behind the clouds
i desire a sunny face
your voice echoed
saying "leave me alone"
i wish to hear your voice
again saying "leave me alone"
i swear this city without you
is a prison
i am dying to get out
to roam in deserts and mountains
i am tired of
flimsy friends and
submissive companions
i die to walk with the brave
am blue hearing
nagging voices and meek cries
i desire loud music
drunken parties and
wild dance
one hand holding
a cup of wine
one hand caressing your hair
then dancing in orbital circle
that is what i yearn for
i can sing better than any nightingale
but because of
this city's freaks
i seal my lips
while my heart weeps
yesterday the wisest man
holding a lit lantern
in daylight
was searching around town saying
i am tired of
all these beasts and brutes
i seek
a true human
we have all looked
for one but
no one could be found
they said
yes he replied
but my search is
for the one
who cannot be found

Rumi

On the left is my friend Roman- I've known him since I was 17 and always looked up to him like a big brother. Interestingly enough my bass player Rod lives with Roman so I get to see him fairly often.
He's responsible for me liking the birthday party when he played it to me all those years ago.
I thought it was crazy cool ;-)

Roman's crazy cool so thought I would share ;-)
I love these guys- old skool punk.
Cheers to Roman!

What creeps and crawls beneath all this modern age shine and glass [Mar. 10th, 2008|12:58 pm]
I Went to out Friday, Spring fever, finally had some pocket money after a time of being utterly broke.
I went to West Edmonton Mall, by my house.
Once there- I meandered but could not think of anything I needed or wanted to buy.
I sat down in the sunlight next to the ship and admired the ladies who adorn Santa Maria.
In a modern shopping centre, these age olde figures peek up through ancient eyes.
It is up to us to see them, or to walk past in a rush.
I found many olde and familiar friends on this walk, poking up through the modern like flowers poking through the cracks in the sidewalk.

I returned home having found what I was looking for.

surrendering.... [Mar. 5th, 2008|01:42 pm]
Slowly giving up the fight against this bronchitus- I feel  my cold fingers slipping -0h-I can not hold out much longer -this afternoon -sleep ( I hate sleeping it' s a waste of time)  and dreams beckon  my submission. I know I have fever kissed cheeks-and I can feel her in this ache in my limbs-  but I thought I might pretend she did not exist and chase her away-it has worked for a few days- -ignoring  her that way- but it did not work in the end-.this mistress of persistence - all the cups of tea in the world do not seem to help ward her off. Perhaps a strong bow would pierce this virus's vixen heart and bid her leave my blood?

I sink beneath the waves into my crumpled silken sheets with a sigh. It really is better to surrender sometimes.

My friend and former flame Tippy who thought Patrick and I would make a good couple before we were, is an amazing musician.
I am going to his cd release party- are you in?



 ;-)

MUSIC

Tippy Agogo

Agogo continues to move ahead with Creep Forward

CAROLYN NIKODYM / carolyn@vueweekly.com

 Talking to sometimes local musician Tippy Agogo, you can imagine that when he was in school, his teachers probably had their hands full. Like his music, his conversation is hard to pin down.


He’d say it was “scatological,” but that’s too self-deprecating for what is really going on. You get the sense that he has just got a lot of plates in the air. He’ll  definitely be able to land them all safely, but you’re just going to have to be patient because he’s going to do it with style. 
 
It’s that very sense that seems to guide his music career. His just-waiting-to-be-released Creep Forward (CD release party is Mar 5) has musical ideas that run the gamut from crunchy guitar to notes more classical, from quirky percussion to vocal beats. Some plates of ideas take mere minutes to find safe landing, while others take three times that length to become fully realized.
 
“I look at music as peaks and valleys,” Agogo explains. “And it’s like you’re travelling through a landscape. That’s basically how I approached this album.”
 
Agogo started his solo career over 20 years ago, with his first release Soul-O-Works in 1986. Creep Forward, he says, is like a continuation of that first record. (Aren’t they all, in the grand scheme of things?)
 
Recorded in a number of different studios, with a number of different sound engineers, the record was all sewn up and mastered by Darryl Neudorf (producer of Neko Case, the New Pornographers, etc). Like Agogo’s past works, Creep Forward takes its audience on a journey both internal and external, taking in influences from around the globe.
 
The album also has a host of musical guests—from the more usual suspects Bill Bourne and Tim Folkmann to Ryan Moore (of Dutch dub band Twilight Circus) and Rodney Orpheus (of UK goth groups Cassandra Complex and Sisters of Mercy). A few who have “played the game,” but who have also eked out their very own place in it.
 
Agogo has never really played the music-industry game. Yeah, he gets gigs, does the festival circuit, releases records and that stuff, but that’s about the extent of it. He designs sound for dance, theatre and film in the city and beyond, as well as teaches workshops around the world. And just last year, he and Bill Bourne  were hosting the Nerkelwerks jams at the Wunderbar.
 
“I think I take him to an area that he doesn’t normally go to and he definitely takes me to an area that I haven’t been to before, so it’s almost like playing with Pat Metheny sometimes,” he says. “I come from the punk-rock school, and ethnic, global music school. It’s kind of weird. It’s all over the map. Like no two songs are the same and I pre-date what you call the iPod. My albums are like an iPod—there’s so many different styles.”
 
“And then my shows are kind of like that too,” he continues. “There’s no one style that I ever stuck with. It’s been partly the problem with my career, but it’s just the way that I am, and that’s just the way it has to be.” V
