THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?

SOLITUDE AND SILENCE

ENTERING THIS INTERNAL CATHEDRAL

Where stillness  means raindrops on water

Solitude a witness to the birth of miracles

Twinned/twined DNA threads in dolphin play

Consciousness a wave,tidal in/retreating back

This rhythm sustains our hearts ventricles

Pump of red  wine through sanctuary skin

Bread of Life,Fish of Praise.Net of Prayers

to catch the marvelous .Drag weight to shore

To feed those hungry for more than water and bread

Entering the waters,in trust for transformation.

Even fish know/all prayer is function.

Billion $ Babies German review translated

Billion Dollar Babies 

First ever live show; Flint 1977

info Music direction : Glam Rock / Shock Rock  release date: 12/15/2017 (1977)  (Gonzo Multimedia)  Total time: 50:04

'Alice Cooper' is twofold - the name of a rock band in the early 70s; on the other hand, the name that Vince veneer, the singer of this band, officially accepted after their split and under which he made a dazzling career. 

Three musicians of the band, among them main songwriter Michael Bruce, also continued after the spill - with the short-term band Billion Dollar Babies and plenty of Alice Cooper material. 

The very first concert of this band from 1977 is now available on CD. The historic sound hardly achieves bootleg quality and the quality of the live performance is now not so outstanding that you should accept this shortcoming. 

An album that is recommended only to hard-hitting fans.

IF POETRY CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE

THEN MAKE POETRY THAT HEALS(not hurts)

Let it save the lives of poets on front lines

Writing down the world and transforming

into those powerfilled Blakean Angels

we so much wish to believe in..

with wide wings of Imaginings

that make deep healing possible

If it be prayer,or chant,invocation,incantation

May it be harmonic enough to annul all dis-ease

Turn poverty to prosperity,and create such joy

as true bells of laughter ring..

He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?

WHEN THE GREEN WOODS SCREAM

As many of you will know, the team behind the Centre for Fortean Zoology and Gonzo Weekly Magazine are also responsible for various other projects. These include a non-profit community record company called Wyrd, which specialises in putting out limited editions of peculiar little records that nobody else would be likely to touch with a metaphorical barge pole. And here we have news of the latest release!

After years of rumours, Xtul are finally releasing their first hardcopy EP. It is pretty much what you would expect from a band consisting of peculiar mutants, who live in a redoubt deep in the dank woodlands of North Cornwall. In The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis said that one should never trust something that used to be human, but isn’t now.

As Xtul consists of a man in a wheelchair with the head of an elephant, a little girl with goat’s legs and the statuesque woman with the face of a skull, (and most definitely does NOT include Jon Downes, although he will admit to having produced it and having played guitar on a couple of tracks) you probably shouldn’t trust this lot.

COMING THIS WEEKEND

BELGIAN GARDENING CLUB REVIEW

http://www.musicinbelgium.net/pl/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=9112

GARDENING CLUB - The Gardening Club

published on 20-01-2018 /

Behind this name hides Martin Springett , and it is under his name that was originally released this first album of his own in 1983. But as the reissue of Gonzo Multimedia presents this album directly under the name of Gardening Club , let us accept this state of affairs by not forgetting however that this disc is Martin Springett's exclusive design (from writing to illustrations).

So, who is this character? Born in 1947 in Kent, Martin Springett will emigrate to Canada where he will spend most of his career. His main activity is in illustration. Martin Springett is a talented draftsman who will be writing album covers such as those of Silver or Heads In The Sky, a Canadian progressive band that operated in the 1980s. 

The connection between Martin Springett and Heads In The Sky is important for more than one reason since Springett will eventually use the services of some musicians from this group to develop the texture of his first album. That's where Martin Springett the illustrator becomes Martin Springett the musician, by designing this first album "The Gardening Club", a gem of classic progressive rock unfortunately arrived too late to be recognized and admired. 

As we are in 1983 when "The Gardening Club" comes out and 1983 is the heart of a period where progressive rock has been completely forgotten. New wave, heavy metal, rap and funky compete for the lion's share of the rock cake but the progueux are reduced to begging for some crumbs while remembering with nostalgia the time when Yes, Genesis, Barclay James Harvest or King Crimson reigned supreme over 70s rock.

It is with a musical spirit inherited from Yes, Genesis or Barclay James Harvest that Martin Springett leaves alone to attack the ghostly mills of prog rock. Yet he has beautiful arguments in his haversack with these delicate and refined compositions. And visually, Martin Springett amazes his world with cover artwork and album interior that are sumptuous. Each page of the Gonzo Multimedia CD booklet is a feast for eyeballs. 

On the musical level, Martin Springett has composed some fifteen songs, assisted by a battery of skilled instrumentalists. Originally, twelve titles make up "The Gardening Club"when it was released in 1983. Here we have four bonus tracks, most of which bring together Martin Springett and the aforementioned Heads In The Sky musicians ( Ken Miskov on bass, John Cheesman and Gerry Fielding on drums). The main body of the album is therefore classic progressive rock, not surprising in the genre but very well done, with subtle compositions ( "Mole hole blues" , "Three days at Brighton" , "Nirvana is not" ) and great moments of emotion ( "Andromeda" , "The stone that speaks" ). The clarity of sound and singing,

Here is an opportunity to discover later this beautiful album, which comes out at a time when the prog is back in grace and where he can now benefit from the general appeasement of tensions between musical genres. Nowadays, we listen again to everything on various supports and in multiple parishes and underground. Fans of progressive rock will find here a little forgotten classic that only needs to grow in the circuit of mythical records. It is indeed the only disc of Martin Springett that left traces in the history. It is attributed other subsequent albums but the information on these discs are very incomplete.

FOR KATE TEMPEST

VOICES ARISE AMONG US

They sing the song of the people we know

We recognize them in the mirror of their songs

Reflecting us back to us so we see each other clearer

This is the ancient songline handed down in tongues on fire

Burning with the desire to connect and communicate

They praise the Light within us

They sing the hard truth argot

They lift us and praise all that is

These are those stories -of Kate Tempest!
