One of the drawbacks of being a flaky arts graduate is that you have to, or at least should, fight the urge to draw extended analogies between one bunch of human experience and another. Those big ol’ nebulous comparisons just litter the place up, and generally aren’t either big or clever.

Albert Jane, who makes tremulous, resonant reds in Montsant in eastern Spain, has sent us the label for his new white wine made from 60% white Garnatxa, 25% Macabeu, 10% pink Garnatxa and 5% Pansal. We should like to try this when we get the chance and see if it twangs our strings.

I just spotted this. It’s probably not a winning concept, but it is further proof that finding new ways to distinguish one wine from another and woo the undecided is a busy business.

the ambition of art to intervene in social life and political thinking

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Cork, music

We’re neighbours of the National Sculpture Factory, and sometimes they buy a few bottles when there’s an occasion, such as the re-launch of the Cork Caucus book and accompanying discussions this Saturday. This is the kind of event that needs support, and a bit of bloggers’ petrol on the embers of debate wouldn’t go [...]

Paul Weller was fifty at the weekend. Crikey.
It’s the Suffolk Show again Wednesday and Thursday. Few places I’d rather be, really few. Crumbs.

Chet twenty years gone

May 20th, 2008 · No Comments · music

It’s twenty years since Chet Baker died, and about twenty years and a month since I saw him playing in Calais (that’s another story). Here he is having a go at Nardis, which you may be more familiar with from the horn of Miles Davis. It looks as though there’s some kind of [...]
