May was the designated recording day for charity supergroup, The Spammed. First
through the door of Hackney’s famed The Premises studio is Rat Scabies, a
drummer truly like no other. Picking up the sticks, says he hasn’t played since
the Damned reunion… but he’s in there instantly, all set up with a minimum of
fuss. Next is special guest, Mickey Gallagher, from the Blockheads - what a
player! His style has grown over the decades and at the tender age of 78,
reached perfection. Our previous keyboardist was the late, great Neil Innes, we
miss him bad, but he’ll be with us in spirit on this auspicious day. New boy
Paul Cuddeford (Holy Holy/Boomtown Rats), guitar supremo with snazzy Gretsch
and big smile shows up. Then Terry Edwards (PJ Harvey/Everybody) with
miscellaneous brass under each arm, making light work of what most find
difficult to carry. Horace Panter is soon on the scene too, bass player of The
Specials, ex special needs teacher and nicked named ‘Horace Gentleman’ for very
good reason. The second special guest is Chaz Jankel (Blockheads) taking the
production chair for the day; the last three occasions we have had the good
grace of Tony Visconti, Nick Lowe and Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones). Chaz has a
zillion credits to his name, co-writing major hits with Ian Dury and
collaborators such as Quincy Jones to Sly & Robbie, He’s had trouble
getting parked but is very happy to be here. Last through the door the
‘sainted’ Kevin Eldon, the band’s singer, traditionally known for acting and
comedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

heard the Kingsmen version as a kid, I thought it’s what adults listened to
when they were drunk! But it’s the coffee that gets us fired up to move through
to the live room and start run throughs. The band is loose, which is code for
finding our way into the track. We work it a few times through before Chaz
reaches for ‘record’. He’s very keen on feel - together but with swing - that’s
how he thinks the track will work. ‘Tight’, of course, is good but ‘tidy’, is
not where it’s at. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

versions, then have a break and go through to the control room to listen.
Expectations are high as a couple of the takes appear to work, the track
however is legendary so we are keen to pay it good service. After some
contemplation, Chaz wants an alternative without a ‘click’ to see how it plays
in comparison. Take 4 sails and it’s a tough call. But the feel of the song
resists a strict metronome and it’s this take where we have all fallen into our
own rhythm that Chaz opts for..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

has brought a bag of props, it’s photo time. There’s a lot of sailor hats but
not quite enough, Kevin nobly dons a lovely blonde curly wig found in the bag
and Paul flat cap. We all manage to stand within close proximity with room for
elbows for a take on the back cover of ‘Do it yourself’ (1979).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

photographs and modern anaesthetics were developed within a decade of one
another. Photographs record appearances. Anaesthetics turn off consciousness in
such a way that it can be turned back on again. They are the flipside of
aesthetics, which appeal to the senses. Before the 1830s, visible reality (and
more) was commonly translated into pictures by a brain-body coalition called
the artist, and the pain of surgery was dulled by henbane or rum. Today, we
still have artists. And while 78% of the global population might have a camera
in their pocket, consciousness is yet to be understood."</span></i> </span></b><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: #333333; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span face="Arial, "sans-serif"" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #333333; padding: 0cm;">2) </span></b><b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #201f1e; padding: 0cm;">Fintan Mallory</span></b><b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #201f1e; padding: 0cm;">: </span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #201f1e; font-family: arial; font-size: medium; padding: 0cm;"><i>"What is a mind?

doesn’t speak of a single ‘mind’ but a succession of minds, cittas, rapidly
occurring, with each momentary mind causing the next one. They are happy,
angry, greedy, focused, sad… In this case, the mind isn’t a ‘thing’ or a
substance but there’s a flow of minds. We pick out patterns in this flow and
identify ourselves with them. To say ‘this is me’ is to try to grasp the

properly so getting to grips with what the brain gets up to presents quite a
challenge for me. There can be no doubt however that it is an endless wonder, a
miracle of evolution and our bridge to the cosmos. Its potential can never be
underestimated. The brain is often perceived as somewhow being in control of
us. I believe it's a two-way relationship. Our brains are certainly responsible
for our behaviour, but we humans are in turn capable of training and changing
our brains and by dint of that our minds, through communication, education and
meditation. We always have the choice to work to transform ingrained thought
and behaviour, based on fear and prejudice, into an infinitely more enlightened
state of mind that knows and reveres the fundamental interconnectedness of all
life and its environments. And somewhere, deep in the mix of everything, that
definitely includes the thorny problem of how to properly load a

expanded – well, it felt like an explosion, it felt like my whole consciousness
magnified about one hundred times - quite unexpectedly! Since then, I have had
absolutely zero anxiety or depression. I have no idea how it happened, but my
brain appears to have completely changed its own chemistry, and rewired itself
fundamentally. Who knows how that works? I used to need medication to give me

ten-year anniversary of being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and I
still don’t understand what is going on. What I do understand is that a human
has nerves which carry important signals like ‘this coffee is hot’, ‘this is
enough money to buy a Kit Kat’ or ‘you are not being stung by bees’. The
message travels from your body to your brain for processing. When the special
coating of those nerves in your brain and spine becomes damaged, as in MS,
things start getting mixed up. You can start bumping into things and falling
over and staring blankly at sales-assistants asking you for money. However, you
learn to adapt so that people don’t notice that your brain is broken. Humans
are brilliant at adapting. I recently found out that fungi are also good at
adapting. Fungi react to their surroundings; they hunt down food and recognise
threats. When a member of the colony is injured, it reacts with
self-preservation and sends out filaments to patch and repair the wounded. A
fungal colony can be classed as an organism with a primitive mind, but research
shows that they can also operate as individuals. They have a memory and are
capable of learning. I don’t expect that a Shitake will be writing poetry

mind and then there is the brain. The brain is the
receiver, a staggering but finite piece of hardware that filters and receives
the vast contents of the mind. But the brain, unlike a radio, does not arrive
fully formed – it must be built. A new-born baby arrives with a
kind of core brain, concerned with little more than survival.
But what separates us from the animals is our predisposition for social
interaction. A baby’s neurons literally fire when they see or hear you. If
there is one bit of the brain we could call the emotional bit, it’s
probably the orbitofrontal cortex (stay with me!) This is the part that
makes it possible for us to empathise. But it cannot grow by itself, it
requires play, touch and interaction. Without lots of this, it just won’t grow.
So while our thoughts so often leave us feeling isolated and apart, it’s worth
remembering that there really is no brain in isolation – we all exist as part
of a giant social matrix, with all our neurons firing away at each other. So
the next time you see a baby on the bus, smile at it – you’re actually helping

small but significant tonal tweak The Pet Shop Boys make to Elvis’ ‘Always on
my mind’. I’m not sure why I noticed it - perhaps it’s the unapologetically uptempo
nature of this rendition, or because I like to sing exactly in tune with what
I’m listening to, or that the early days of electro offered new routes into and
out of what we understood about song writing. I don’t have the lingo to
describe what is actually happening in musical terms as the notes shift, but
its effect is universal. It occurs during the second time the refrain “You are
always on my mind” is sung during the chorus, towards the end of “mind”. In
Neil Tennant’s synthtastic vocal Elvis’ knee-trembling note encounters the
associative equivalent of a mic drop. What we expect from recollections of its
iconic delivery shifts: from a held certainty into an offhand elsewhere.

this note (and with it the word “mind”), extending indefinitely - into an
abstract electro-audio landscape of its own. But of course this is a pop tune
and we are quickly lifted to the next lyric: “Tell me that your sweet love
hasn’t died”. Hearing it for the first time, if aware of the original, it was
an irksome thing. We knew how it was supposed to sound, were historically sure
of the sonic framework we were being held in and the narrative mood it set up.
But, in hindsight and with many listens, the tinkering offers much more than
putting a new stamp on the old. It loosens the word from expectation, and the
song from whimsical sadness to a more open space for thinking about love and
desire. This unhinging allows for a moment without markers synonymous with complex
dalliances, but also the essential need at the time this reboot was made to
unpick the heteronormative coordinates of the traditional ballad, so that it
might be afforded the ability to speak about experiences of every
kind." </span></span></b></i></span><span face="Arial, "sans-serif"" style="background: rgb(228, 230, 235); color: #050505;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial;

old oak bench the woman rests upon, with the parquet floor beneath makes the
space she inhabits ambiguous, is this landscape real or fictional? Are we led to question whether the woman is a gallery
visitor, a collector, or an artist gazing at her own work? The ambiguity of her

and complex, hoping to defy the traditions of painted recumbent women in
landscapes. The painting asks us to revisit what has been painted in the past
and by whom in relation to our varying positionalities today." </b> </span></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2OTElcp6Ek1v8V3_ooHGWjisoX55R6G1l_VSn-iwVsJ2UsKaplTtZIP3mEJ18e6evftwXyq8ujlyrGNsAQ7hWK-cqFG4uxJTwnuUQetaJDK1rYyXFr18Cs6YlrsNgdyqBl42zbBZeB9d30kmHnBf_Fe82QLEXPugp-5PJvEys7auQUXRh8LC4x-7aZ-s/s2480/Alwaysonmymind2flier.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
