Radio from the freakzone

[imomus]

Today 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.

What a blessing to meet up with Shazna.

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!

"The Guitar Lesson" is based on Balthus (http://www.dazereader.com/balthusguitarlesson.htm), not Shazna, although Shazna did bring up Balthus in our conversation.

the original Guitar Lesson is a masterpiece and the reason I own your complete discography. Never knew it was based on Balthus. The Image is going to be stuck in my mind now when listening to it. It's like reading a great book and getting a certain impression of, say, a character you could identify with and then watching the film based on that book only to discover that same character to be not what you imagined.

i'm relieved it's not based on personal experience. ;)
