Move fast! Horace Panter, founding member and bassist of The Specials, is in the shop Wed 18 & Thu 19 Nov, 7–9pm, same event both nights. An exhibition of his paintings, a talk and Q&A, drinks, music and the new Limited Edition art print and t-shirt. Numbers are very limited 😎
Last night in flat of 23yrs… before moving to hotel for last days in town… Glasgow calls... here the walls be well nicotine & music soaked & the place be a crumbing… best shot under the cover of darkness... roll on next Sunday ;-)
…surprisingly statics suggest the most played song in flat over may years was Bonnie 'Prince' Billy’s West Palm Beach from a cheap 45 scored way back in the day youtu.be/FHfTUcc9Pr0?si=UQyF… - who knew 😉
...totally forgot... West Palm Beach (Palace Records, US 1995) - on the flip-side U will find Gulf Shores... it be no half bad too... youtu.be/Shy9Y0veR0Y?... - proper doubled sided 7" if you ask me & still cheap 45 ;-)

Almost Transparent Blue (1979) by #RyuMurakami – This evenings viewing… not the best copy… possibly a VHS rip… first time I’ve seen it with English Subtitles…
youtu.be/2A4ht9igVbc?si=v7xc…
recommended…
…potential for a double bill with Carnival in the Night (1981) by #MasashiYamamoto - youtu.be/ASKMvGjSjQg?si=HQjw… – also recommended
…or as a triple bill with Hear the Song of the Wind (1982) by #HarukiMurakami & #KazukiŌmori - youtu.be/5RnqSiHhxfQ?si=A4Ur… – again recommended, but much lighter than the other two…

Ryu Murakami left behind one of the greatest bodies of literary work of any writer this generation. Almost Transparent Blue and In the Miso Soup are two of my favorite novels ever. More than any other writer, Murakami’s work had a hard boiled literary reportage even as the the content embraced aspects of surrealism and weird fiction. Furthermore, he wrote in a style that shunned flowery prose in favor of a pared down but highly physical intensity that channeled the feeling of the best thriller movies. One of a kind writer, I’ll miss him.
