creation rebel (blackstar)

horsemouth forgot to mention that creation rebel played at the adrian sherwood gig friday night with some of the musicians who played on starship africa one of the most amazing dub albums ever - though not the late lamented style scott.

saturday night horsemouth traveled down to sunny pop(u)lar (said popul vuh) to meet denise, darsavini, john and ant-knee (thanks for feeding him). they consumed food and beer and caught up and became trapped in electoral politics. john was reading sigizmund krzhizhanovsky.


sunday horsemouth wanted to curtail the beer drinking and expense (but was persuaded anyway) - a few bottles supped round howard’s whilst they listened to music and howard got on with some art. howard was playing the new kendrick lamar (2017), horsemouth replied with blackstar (2004) and the slightly earlier soundbombing compilation (1999). of course both of these generations of hip-hoppers owe a debt to the 1990 era tribe called quest, the jungle brothers etc.

towards the end horsemouth and howard got the instruments out and had a little jam - then horsemouth proceeded to sing and play his way through chunks of an imaginary set.

later horsemouth watched time of the wolf (michael haneke) - it’s your standard post-apocalypse (a cold, hungry war of each against all). horsemouth has been stocking up on food (5kgs rice, 2kgs sweet potato, 4 tins of chick peas, 1.5 litres of olive oil)

it turns out raymond aron and george lichtheim had heard of each other (of course they had).

later (today - this evening) horsemouth goes to a meeting - tomorrow he works (and thursday and friday), thursday is the anniversary of the recording of crescent by john coltrane, sunday (evening) horsemouth is off down south (rats as big as cats apparently) to a friend’s comicbook launch (horsemouth is himself immortalized in said comics).
