imomusToday it's all about radio. BBC Radio 6 features my 1991 album Hippopotamomus on Stuart Maconie's Freakzone. You can hear it streamed live between 5pm and 8pm UK time or in "Listen Again" format for a week.
My latest podcast, recorded yesterday in New York City, sees me schlepping around SoHo shops and galleries, arguing with my ex-wife Shazna at Cafe Gitane about the exact reason we're no longer married, then heading with her to the Sunlight Cinema to see the excellent Howl's Moving Castle. "Love saves the day," says Shazna as the titles roll.

Date: 2005-07-03 04:59 am (UTC)We don't get proper travelogues anymore, do we?
Sure, ever so often the BBC or NPR or somebody will do one, but that's not enough. I love them.
Just now, I was riveted to the desk while you went on.
Blew thirty minutes listening to you walk and talk and it was fabulous.
Thanks.

Is she still a journalist? If so, what has she been up to lately?
Get that girl a blog!

Date: 2005-07-03 05:38 am (UTC)Sometimes at night, alone and depressed
A little uptight or unbearable stressed
I cry as I call out your name
I am always unable to rest
I hope that I'll see you again (http://www.imomus.com/index42.html)
Also, this (http://momus-lyrics.wonderlyrics.com/Guitar-Lesson.html) is a great poem!

Date: 2005-07-03 06:56 am (UTC)Though gun ownership as constitutional right is a hotly debated issue - I personally don't see it that way, but I'm one of them silly progressives.

Date: 2005-07-03 06:59 am (UTC)Minor point: It's Confucius Plaza, not "Mansions." (I went to elementary school there!)
You are right about Chinatown. Sometimes China itself feels like an enormous Chinatown. In Chinese, "Chinatown" is called Tang Ren Jie or "Tang People Streets." The Tang Dynasty was China's "Golden Age."
The conversation with Shazna is fascinating. We so rarely see the personal side of Momus.
Have fun in NY.

Date: 2005-07-03 05:08 pm (UTC)anyway, i think the quote "champagne/sham pain for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends" was by francis bacon (the painter one, i guess the philosopher version didn't stay on earth until the brut was invented), i read him saying it and they used it in the biopic as well (don't remember who directed that, it had a nice "industrial" soundtrack by sakamoto, although more like a polished, shiny japanese designers industry maybe, transferred to "real pain" england) - but i also liked your sham-poo variation ...

Date: 2005-07-03 08:12 pm (UTC)i still consider him an interesting, singular painter, it's just that his paintings are maybe to perfectly executed. he is a great manieriste, and i think that is a term that shouldn't always be considered negative, which it is by many artists i know, who think one should always reinvent oneself and start from scratch every few blinks - but, in fact they don't.
anyway, i tend to go back and reconsider the work of artists whom i admire even more often, when there's some aspect that bothers me, that seems inappropriate, that i have to "work" on - and that, in the end, often is the aspect that i grow most fond of, that brings me to a "next level".
with bacon, i just don't see anything that isn't compelling. in his aestheticism, maybe he has even something to share with matisse, whom he disdained as being "decorative" ...

Date: 2005-07-04 12:22 am (UTC)Thanks for today's podcast! You have made me painfully snort with laughter twice in about 30 days; I don't know if my nostrils will recover. Very interesting tour of Manhattan, too!

Date: 2005-07-16 04:06 pm (UTC)When Howell stops being from Wales, his name no longer makes sense.
The dub should reinsert the "saucepan" song Sospan fach sung
while cooking over Calcifer

And Sophie is considerably more interesting in the book, where
being ancient is quite a relief in the "when I am old I shall
wear purple and wave a swordcane" style and her special talent
is talking life and magic into inanimate objects. There are
many characters and trickier love lives elided by Miyazaki H.
Nice one, Nick
