Alex Kapranos on Ivor (Jaqueline)

You'll probably know already, but if you didn't I just heard of the sad news of Ivor Cutler dying. He was 83 but he's always got a place in my heart, as that mad genius scotsman with creaky organ and a weird fixation on herring and bugs.

I am so sad...

More news here

I was planning to play more Ivor Cutler on Radio Clash, but you know what the next show has to be...

I posted this over at my LiveJournal blog but thought it deserved cross-posting here:

It seems to be season for Radiohead covers - what with the Exit Music CD out soon (you might have heard that Just track by Mark Ronson - the tracks I've heard are not bad), but bigger news for me is that the Easy All Stars (they of 'Dub Side of the Moon')- are doing Radiohead's Ok Computer - dub stylee!

I for one am waiting for this album with great anticipation after 'Dub Side' was on constant rotation last year, I'll probably camp outside the record store until September 2006 when they release this.

Down down deeper and down...with odd covers, music from the last Bastard ever (tm) and some chilled Sunday evening sort of vibe.

Sorry not in a cheery mood today - hope you enjoy the music.

P.S. Got it wrong in the previous show - was looking at the Smoosh CD and they are 10 and 12! I think with inflation they are now something 11 and 13...13 was involved somewhere. Kids these days, getting younger and younger...

Only just recovered enough to post that the last ever Bastard (hence the Club that Cried Wolf bit) was amazing - Strictly Kev was amazing to watch (he doesn't use his headphones most of the time...scary!) and did a great Apache vs Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum (very appropriate) but I think despite the turntablism I preferred the full-on gabba-core insane nuttiness of Audioshrapnel ended Bastard on a more appropriate note. It was less full than Feburary but more appropriate as the hardcore Bastardites were there and more like a family gig - and still got quite insane at the end!
The ending was so appropriate - Dsico and Jon Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' and a group hug with everyone singing...and got quite tearful, me included. It's like losing a friend, and looks like that is for Bastard - after 4 (or is it 5) years of Bootleg chicanery and that is it...incredible influential and important for the London if not UK and International bootleg scene...but more importantly for me it was a club for the last 2-3 years I felt most comfortable in.

It's small size and lack of 'tude meant a lot in the era of superclubs and cliquey Hoxton-type bars; and I think CartelMike and CartelJohnny to thank for all the good memories and times - and all the people that played there...

Photos of the event are here at Zephyrs site (great photos!), from Juggernaut's site (capture the last song well!) and a few from oli including one showing how bald I've become

Oh and video and maybe sound to follow...there's a snippet of video available over at Mr Whitelabel's site, with SuperCollider also videoing it looks like there is going to be a DVD or torrent of the whole event, or highlights.
