Making Hay with the Young Marble Giants |
I could start with this old lady, who'd made a hat out an umbrella and was feeding absent cats just outside the venue, muttering to herself whilst looking at Ken, Andrea and myself in the eye.Or with ... Posted by Louis Philippe on Mon, 28 May 2007 02:40:00 PST |
WCR radio interview online... |
I couldn't possibly call this a blog entry. It is more a very brief public announcement. I visited Chris Evans in Wolverhampton last week, jumping at the chance to take part in a two-hour show about... Posted by Louis Philippe on Wed, 23 May 2007 07:18:00 PST |
A Japanese spring |
It was like seeing an old and very dear friend for the first time in ten years - to find out that this friend looked even younger now than then. I hadn't travelled to Japan since Danny and I did our ... Posted by Louis Philippe on Sun, 13 May 2007 07:44:00 PST |

Louis Philippe Live on MySpace |

Back in the studio!...and live album news. |
Ken and I have drifted into the recording of my new studio album; yes, drifted is the word. We'd finished working on The Clientele's strings arrangements; and, suddenly, with the Live! album already i... Posted by Louis Philippe on Sat, 27 Jan 2007 05:56:00 PST |
Live Album Tracklist |
Ken Brake and I mastered the two discs which will compose my live double album yesterday (that is Tuesday 9 January). Phew. I'd promised a full tracklist a while ago; I can now fulfil that promise, no... Posted by Louis Philippe on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 03:59:00 PST |
A new MP3 for the angels. Still something to do with John Lennon. |
The blog can wait. Quite fun to change these MP3's from time to time. This new one is as obscure, and unexpected as they come. A commission from S.H.A.D.O. Records in Italy, back in 2000; ''could you ... Posted by Louis Philippe on Thu, 04 Jan 2007 02:10:00 PST |
