“This Charming Man” is an up-tempo song, featuring guitar, bass, and drums. The song begins with a short introductory guitar riff; and after about four seconds the rhythm section. The vocals are first heard eight seconds after this. The chorus is heard only twice. The first time it is followed by a brief pause and the second time by the closing of the song. Lyrics – Marr/Morrissey (The Smiths) A punctured bicycle / On a hillside desolate / Can nature make a man of me yet ? And in this charming car / This charming man Why pamper life’s complexity / When the leather runs smooth / On the passenger seat ? I would go out tonight / But I haven’t got a stitch to wear / This man said “It’s gruesome that someone so handsome should care” A jumped up pantry boy / Who never knew his place / He said “return the ring” / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things I would go out tonight / But I haven’t got a stitch to wear / This man said “It’s gruesome that someone so handsome should care” / Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man … / Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man … A jumped up pantry boy / Who never knew his place / He said “return the ring” / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things / He knows so much about these things

many years ago I knew some punk musicans called The Real Fucking Idiots and they all lived in a derelict squat in Redfern… and in that huge sprawling messy space were lots of interesting little snippets of what made up a normal life for them….. like this image of a grubby abandoned punk baby doll pinned to a fuse box with a number of used syringes….none of those living there were diabetic either so draw your own inferences….. this image was subsquently used as the main focus of a particularly iconic poster that was used at the time to take a rather large stick to the Australia Council for the Arts….. the ability of the dispossesed to find a voice outside the mainstream and to be articulate and powerful is something I’ve never doubted…...just depends on how you look at things I guess….. anyway….. smack smack your dead sister dear but the echo of that time lingers on…. / . / . / . /

another idle observation from a derelict inner city squat inhabited at the time by the ratty brilliant doomed and occasionally quite demented band called The Real Fucking Idiots….. shot a very long time ago in Sydney before it aquired it’s shiny city status…. it goes with the image I just uploaded called drug doll and another image that has been here for a little while called jesus died….. it was a time and place… it was real and it was unreal and it’s echo remains…. time passes and time stands still…. fuck art let’s just live / . / . / . /

a long time ago I made a video clip for a band called Severed Heads for a dance track called Dead Eyes Open… this quickly became a cult classic dance track hit type thing in the inner city dark at that time…. reflecting back on that time I thought I might post some out takes from the making of the original clip…. it was a very very cheap affair let me tell you… borrowed cameras from art school and a bunch of inner city punkgothgroovers getting pissed on the fabulous punch we provided to them … just to get them in the mood of course….. then bring on the music and let it rip…. back in the days that’s all you had to do….. cameras punch and music a bit of heavy make up and make a classic clip in one day…. couldn’t even imagine doing that now…. oh and silk screen a bunch of gear with some rocking skulls…. that was the ‘look’ back then…. / . / . / . /

the next image in my current little series of ancient analouge images from way back when… these image are out takes from a video I made for a band called Severed Heads a very long time ago….. / . / . / . /

another out take from a series shots done while making a video clip for a band called Severed Heads back back back in the eigthies …. a study of some of the performers…. don’t see make up like this anymore…. which is probably a good thing…. :) / . / . / . /

I haven’t posted any pictures for a week or so as I’ve been building a website…. more on that later…. and setting up a new business…. more on that later and all….. but just of late I seem to have flushed a few die hard Severed Heads fans out of the under growth….. Tom is and was a difficult and totally brilliant eccentric musican and for a time there way back when… we worked together… at a place called Art Unit in Alexandria in Sydney….so the next couple of photo’s are for those people out there who remember what it was like….. and I’ll give you a clue…. it wasn’t very cute…... / . / .

Scanned Imaged from a 1983 Photograph taken with an Olympus OM1N. This is the freight ferry ‘European Gateway’ which Sank after a collision in the North Sea, just a couple of miles from the port of Felixstowe, Suffolk, en route to Zeebrugge, Belgium. / Not to be confused with the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster in March 1987, which was also a Townsend Thoresn ship. I took this during a sail along the coast in February 1983, and as you can see, the Ship has been uprighted, and I took this during the one circuit of the stricken ferry, clearly showing the plates welded onto the port side so to enable the ship to be pulled into an upright position. / I have added 4 more pictures in a Journal that I hope you have time to look at. For a more detailed account of the disaster and rescue, Click Here, where you will be taken to the Harwich (Essex) Lifeboat Station. More about the Ferry follows. / / ‘European Gateway was built 1975 by Schichau Unterweser AG, Bremerhaven, for the Townsend-Thoresen service between Felixstowe and Europort. During the summer of 1980, she operated between Cairnryan-Larne. European Gateway then returned to Felixstowe service until 1982 when she was involved in a collision with the Speedlink Vanguard off Felixstowe. She sank with the loss of six lives. After salvage, she was rebuilt and entered service as the Flavia between Ancona-Igoumenitsa-Patras in 1984. In 1988 she was sold to GT-Link, entering service as the Travemünde Link between Gedser-Travemünde. In 1992, registered ownership passed to Europa Linien, and she was renamed Rostock Link when the German port changed to Rostock. In 1996, ownership of Europa Linien passed to DSB (later Scandlines). In 1999 Rostock Link was chartered to Mols Linien for their Århus-Kalundborg route under the marketing name Kalundborg Link. In 2000 she was sold to Agoudimos Lines, and was renamed Penelope A for a route Igoumenitsa-Brindisi.’ (Simplonpc) ‘Text’ above taken from: / Simplonpc.(no date) Townsend-Thoreson Ferries Postcards.

Twenty-six years ago yours truly was doing Celtic art. Not too many people were interested in it then, but it’s quite popular nowadays.

You can’t get more Celtic than this, as it’s derived from an image in The Book of Kells. For those concerned about copyright, the Book of Kells is 1,200 years old so it is well and truly in the Public domain :) I did this during my Celtic art craze in the 1980s. I am becoming interested in Celtic Art again, thanks to viewing Lynnette Shelley’s inspiring work, so I am digging out my old Celtic art books again :) I thought I’d upload the old stuff that very few found interesting in those days. This one is Christian Celtic Art and the original version was done by the monks at Kells, Ireland.
