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.

might be. i can't remember; it should have been a book containing one or different interviews with bacon, which i borrowed from the library of my art school many years ago. at that time, i was quite interested in bacon, but that wore off a bit.
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" ...
