Irk The Purists: October 2013
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 20, 2013. Leafing through today's Daily Mail (hey, it's for research purposes only), I was gratified to read the heart-warming story of a 33 year old man who has spent $100,000 on plastic surgery in a quest to make himself look more like his pop star idol. And I have to admit, it's money very well spent. He very closely resembles Thomas Dolby in his pomp. Wait, hang on a second.what do you mean he was trying to look like Justin Bieber? Friday, October 18, 2013. Wednesday, October 16, 2013.
Irk The Purists: January 2014
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. In my Albums of the Year last month, I was remiss in forgetting that Gramme had put out a (terrific) long player in 2013, and I'd like to correct that omission. Gramme. Chose to return to recording some 14 years after their initial, well-received punk-funk offering (see posts passim. Why they failed to capitalise on their moment at the start of the 21st century, just as Simon Reynolds was finishing writing Rip It Up. For Whom The Bells Toll. Should clinch it. As pretty much ...

Irk The Purists: March 2014
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 09, 2014. We got to the Usher Hall a little too late to see Rock Action. S Remember Remember last night; they were one of the support acts for Mogwai, the other being The Pastels, who we did get to see. Is it possible to review Mogwai without alluding to that NME cliché "Cathedrals of Sound"? Probably not. So instead, in honour of the first support band, we proudly unveil the ItP rundown of the Top Ten Groups With Two Words Exactly The Same As Their Band Name. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
Irk The Purists: February 2014
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. All that exposure to Ravel's Bolero. Sent me back to one of my favourite albums of the last few years, Deutsche Grammophon Recomposed. As well as Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Which gives you a bit of a feel for how it builds over time. And it may also make you think of Jayne Torvill. Which is nice. Buy the CD here.

BrianT: February 2012
http://brianlt.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Thursday, February 02, 2012. MERCY - a dark tale of loss by João Paulo Simões. M E R CY is an independent film written and directed by João Paulo Simões. It explores the notions of family and identity through the brief encounter between two women. This unforgiving tale retains its ambiguity until the very last frame of the film. I agreed, of course. Well, you do, don't you? I'll try anything once. Nothing to lose, is there? João, the Director, felt that Jude a...
BrianT: The rotting corpse of Psalter Lane
http://brianlt.blogspot.com/2009/01/rotting-corpse-of-psalter-lane.html
Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Friday, January 22, 2010. The rotting corpse of Psalter Lane. Psalter Lane Art College is dead. Once a jewel in Sheffield's crown, a magnet for would be artists, designers, jewellery makers and film directors from all over Britain, it was swallowed up by Sheffield Poly, soon to become Sheffield Hallam University who took the decision, in 2008, to close it. So what is Psalter Lane like now? I arrived just as it began to rain, on a chilly, damp afternoon, a trul...
BrianT: June 2008
http://brianlt.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Friday, June 20, 2008. I am The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Waters. When I was a kid, in the early 70s, there were a series of Public Information Films aimed at children, mainly to do with learning to swim, staying away from railways and deep water, and not taking sweets off strange men. Some of them were genuinely disturbing, and probably wouldn't be allowed on telly these days in case they traumatised the kiddies, which perhaps wouldn't be a bad thing. For a w...
BrianT: Fried Egg - a true story (some names changed to protect the guilty)
http://brianlt.blogspot.com/2011/09/fried-egg-true-story-some-names-changed.html
Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Fried Egg - a true story (some names changed to protect the guilty). Bruce Robinson must have met Egg, because Danny (Withnail and I) IS Egg. When I was at Newcastle Uni in 1981, my allotted room-mate was an avowedly thatcherite, Daily Mail reading, public school educated son of a Surrey doctor, called Keith. He was everything my nascent, Northern working-class, left-leaning principles dictated that I should hate. A vestige of ch...
BrianT: June 2007
http://brianlt.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. The return of Shirley Bassey. Shirley Bassey has probably never been away, but to most people, particularly anyone under 35, she may have seemed like a name from the past, because she hasn't been the star she once was since perhaps the late 70s. All good fun, and it was great to see la Bassey in good vocal form, but it was pure cabaret (if only she'd played at Lost Vagueness at 2am eh? However, little did anybody suspect just. I sat up ...

Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Thursday, December 04, 2008. Best of Kendal Mountain Film Festival Day 2. It was the second evening of Matt Heason's 'Best of Kendal' roadshow, which for Monday and Tuesday had set up a high camp in Sheffield's cosy Showroom cinema, home to Kendal's precocious cousin, ShAFF. As with Monday's films, these were a varied bunch. First up was Journey of a Red Fridge. But to Hari, it represents hardship, poverty and a trap from which he must escape. We wish him ...

Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Klunkerz'; a film about mountain bike history, and ShAFF opening night. Well folks (if anyone's reading this), tonight is the official opening night of the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF), at The Showroom Cinema. There'll be an opening ceremony to herald several days of top outdoor action films from around the world (see my last blog entry below). The programme of films is here. Links to this post.

Sensitive and artistically inclined caveman. Thursday, September 27, 2007. It's been a long time since I did a blog entry, what with one thing and another. I've been so busy with stuff I just haven't had timme, but now I'm back and I promise to my loyal readership that I will be doing a 'poper' blog entry in the next few days. What whould you rather be attacked by? The werewolf or a polar bear? It's a Norco Six SE, 2007 model. I'll tell you more about it in my next entry. Anyway, as I'm pressed for time,...

Irk The Purists
Thursday, July 31, 2014. One more, while I'm at it. I greatly enjoyed Jungle's last single, Busy Earnin'. And their newie, Time. Also rather good is this newie from Sheffield's Slow Club. I'm not entirely sure the video suits the song, but there's no denying that The Pieces. Is a pretty fine choon, and, if there were any justice in the world, it'd be a summer no. 1 hit. Incidentally, there isn't and it won't be. A place called New Dorp in New York. Every day's a school day. Friday, May 30, 2014. And you ...
irkthepurists | WADING CONKERS-DEEP IN A CESS-PIT OF MEDIOCRITY…SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WADING CONKERS-DEEP IN A CESS-PIT OF MEDIOCRITY…SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. ELECTROTONIC 1000 – ‘Action Potential’. Record companies are dead-they just refuse to lay down. Money which would all come out of your 1,000,000 advance. I made this record at home, using software I bought new for less than 40. I don’t need to manufacture a hard copy except for maybe vanities sake. The internet puts my music into cyberspace, avoiding the need of getting records into shops. PS If anyone DOES download the album and ...
Irk The River
An online creative outlet from the curious minds of the members of Manchester popular music group, Irk The River. Monday, 13 June 2011. We play the same set twice (again) at Urmston Fiesta; an outdoor shindig in Manchester's most boring suburb on the 26th June (on at midday). We follow that with an excursion to Withington's Fuel (Vegetarian Cafe) Bar, which as a (vegetarian Cafe) Bar is still twice as exciting as the whole suburb of Urmston, and the place doesn't even contain any meat. 1 gig, 2 gig.
