“Ok, so it’s a radio station, but not as you know it. For now, it’s a growing collection of 24 one hour-long mixes with visuals that we are sharing with you for free, and hopefully it will become a platform for many more things to come. We call them mixes, but in reality they are more like musical films based on the record sleeves.
Every hour has a different musical and visual theme (always based on the covers), to eventually make for a varied day-long radio schedule that will remain online in a rotated and continuous loop."

My friend (Andy) Savage is having a top exhibition at the Regina Gallery in London entitled WHY WE WILL.
He likes it conceptual with a bit of shop lifting on the side.
Once described by the Daily Mail as “Hitler’esque” he’s always got some interesting stuff on, worth a look.

A couple of good ‘Imagine’ films worth catching…
1. David Hockney – A Bigger Picture
Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, this documentary captures the return from California of England’s favourite living artist.
2. The Colourful Mr Eggleston
William Eggleston is one of the most influential and original photographers alive today. A Mississippi aristocrat with a fondness for guns, drink and women, he dragged colour into the world of art photography.

You may remember Steven from Blue Peter in the eighties, he was this kid with autism who could draw amazingly detailed pictures from memory. Now and again i’ll remember him and look him up on his website and you see these quite nice detailed drawings and i think yeah theyre ok, what was all the fuss about, then you read the info and its a view of san francisco that he visited about 5 years before and he did it from memory and then i find myself swearing with amazement, for instance he spent nearly a week doing a detailed mural drawing of Tokyo’s cityscape after just a 20 minute helicopter ride over the city. I bet he never forgets his packed lunch.
