Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DA91GR - Forever True's owner and resident tattooer Richie Clarke has been tattooing in his own establishment since 1995, drawing inspiration directly from the tattooing legends of the late 19th and early to mid-20th century.
?
As well as producing his own unique bold tattoo flash, Richie also repaints faithful reproductions of long lost tattoo designs from tattooing's earliest and most influential fore fathers, Bert Grimm, Joseph Hartley, George Bigmore, Tom Berg (to name but a few). Famous names your great grandfather would like to have visited between the bars and brothels (before he met your great grandmother) during shore leave from Singapore, to the Barbary Coast.
?
Now thanks to impeccable research, these designs are now available to collect again, repainted with an expert hand as they would have appeared more than half a century ago adorning the walls of tattoo parlours from the sea ports of Europe to the sideshows of Coney Island.
Richie is determined to see these classics live on with a modern audience hungry for original work, Why spend hours trawling the Internet for hours when you could go home with a genuine piece of heritage on your arm, a tattoo is something to be earned not downloaded. Every tattoo told a story, a seasoned veteran, a grieving son, a lost love, and it's no different now, clients still want names of their children, lovers, symbols of life or death, memories or aspirations, but people struggle to find good designs and search the Internet finding images they think are original but in reality probably adorn thousands of others.
?
They need to trust the old artists, the names who brought tattooing to the West and fashioned classic designs that forged the modern tattoo world. A good tattoo is forever and should outlive the artist & client and that's what these designs have done. I'm a craftsman first and foremost not a fine artist, a folk artist maybe, part of a long line before me. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel...

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F89PK2 - Edinburgh Castle is an historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100-year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXCC - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland.

Follow me on Twitter twitter.com/HotpixUK
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A track with a tale of what you reap is what you sow.
'Cat's in the Cradle' is a 1974 folk rock song by Harry Chapin from the album Verities &
Balderdash. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1974. As Chapin's only number one hit song, it became the best known of his work and a staple for folk rock music.
The song was based upon a poem written by Harry's wife Sandy
the poem itself was inspired by the awkward relationship between her first husband, James Cashmore, and his father, a New York City politician. She was also inspired by a country music song she had heard on the radio. Harry has also said that the song was about his father-son relationship with his son, Josh, saying that 'Frankly, this song scares me to death'.
The song is told in first-person by a father who is too busy to spend time with his son. Though the son asks him to join in childhood activities, the father always responds with little more than vague promises of spending time together in the 'future'. While wishing to spend time with his father, the son starts to model himself on his father's behaviour, hence the verse wishing to be 'just like him.'.
The final two verses are a reverse of the roles, where the father asks his grown-up son to visit, but the son responds that he is now too busy to find the time for his father. The father then reflects that they are both alike, saying 'my boy was just like me.' The song's chorus uses imagery related to childhood Cat's in the Cradle, Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, Man in the Moon.
This track was covered by the band 'Ugly Kid Joe' which sold over half a million in Australia. It was also used in the British Government Don't Suffer It, Change it / Despairs In The Cradle campaign in Northern Ireland mid 1980's - www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTWXDY1lJMY

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Jud has featured in films like Chemical Wedding and has played Ian Dury in 'ABFCAP - The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury' , playing one of my teen favourites. I still have a gold vinyl 'New Boots and Panties' up in the loft. Jud Charlton, walked out over alterations made to the script by the comedian Chris Langham after a dissagreement.

No, not a typical Saturday night on any British high st, but ladies from the Threesome Theatre looking sexy to attract punters like flies to their flyers advertising 'Berlin Cabaret'. It was on 20-25th August 2012 at The Space On The Mile V39 (venue 39, you are due a Deuchars now arent you??).
As the blurb says 'as our emcee takes you on a journey of decadence and ignorance, let the cabaret girls and boys entertain you in our own slice of 1930's Berlin. Threesome theatre spotlights Berlins cabaret from the day the curtain went up in 1901 to the Nazi regime tore it down. Featuring throbbing music, enticing dancing and naughty original songs.

Morgan and West, spiffing fun! Lying, Cheating Scoundrels got rave reviews. A lovely couple of 'coves' I found them to be. Read more of a review here:
An intimate, late-night affair, Lying Cheating Scoundrels is not really a magic show in the traditional sense. With just 20 seats around a large semi-circular card table, Morgan and West recount various stories of their exploits throughout history, such as beating Charles Darwin at poker, and playing pontoon on the Titanic. The story of sudden death happy families, hitherto a closely guarded secret, must be heard to be believed.
In essence, this is an hour of watching two incredibly skilled entertainers count cards, play parlour tricks and, a lot of the time, explain exactly how they are doing it \u2014 or at least how they will tell you they did it. The rapport between the two is so effortless that the audience instantly feels relaxed and in friendly company.
An excellent campaign to their bigger stage show, this smaller performance shows the versatility of the two performers, and their immense skill. The sleight of hand on display is nothing short of remarkable, making the oldest of tricks seem as if it were brand new.
The duo will be taking this show to other festivals and, if all goes to plan, bringing it back to Edinburgh next year. Do yourself a favour, and see one of the most interesting magic shows around.
As the blub says 'Welcome to the internet home of dashing duo of deception Morgan &
West, the world\u2019s finest time travelling Victorian magic act. Here you will find a veritable wealth of information about the chaps including who they are, what they do, and where they can be found doing what they do (and being who they are). Whatever your magical entertainment needs, Morgan &
West are at your service and only a telegram or carrier pigeon away'. Checkout more at www.morganandwest.co.uk/

Picky with your food? Alegies, Vegetarian? August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's plenty of vegetable based humour here, its a broad church!.
At venue 203, The Princes Mall, just next to Waverley bridge and railway station, this show was on throughout the festival 4-25th August, as part of the free fringe.
The question raised is 'Wheres the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?' and more importantly 'Why did he pick it'?
As the blurb says:
This highly intriguing work exposes the truth. A truth in which The Mafia, Ms Muffet, David Cameron, Cabbage Beards, a talking pea,The Man from Del Monte, Assasination attempts and sports vouchers for schools are all involved.
Surrealist, Realist, Thoughtful, Funny, Free.

At Paradise in the Vault (venue 29) between the 21st &

Every new turn of this bewildering labyrinth reveals some fresh depth of social blackness, some strange and repulsive curiosity of human nature. What are we to do? Where are we to turn?

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Was it a rare trip north to address the Scots nation to plead with Alex Salmond to not leave the union? Maybe a ploy to drum up more Scottish Tories. Famously as they say, there are more pandas at Edinburgh zoo than tory MP's up here.
Do let me know in the comments below what 'message you might leave for Mr Cameron'.

Are you looking for love and romance? August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's no shortage of scaryness and satire here!.
Call Me is a play starring Sarah Adams, Christine Clare, Laura Cope, Claire Dean, Katie McArdle and Matthew Stead which was performed at Sweet Grassmarket @ 10:10pm for 70 minutes, on most days during August 2012.
As the blurb says:
By The Slice Theatre Company Presents Call Me! Sponsored by www.TheatreLoverDating.co.uk
Writing and producing together for the first time, sisters Sarah Adams and Becky Adams are heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year with their play, dating comedy Call Me!, which received rave reviews and a sell-out run in Manchester last year.
Inspired by the likes of Victoria Wood and Dawn French, writer Sarah Adams has formed new theatre company By The Slice to produce a cringe-worthy yet affectionate romantic comedy alongside her film producer sister Becky. By The Slice invites the audience to come and rejoice with them at the ridiculousness of love and dating! What better way to get over your latest dating disaster than to be able to laugh at someone else's ludicrous misfortunes? Yet on this rollercoaster of humiliation and hilarity, we also unexpectedly find a new humility for love.
Taking all of the available Manchester cast with them, By The Slice will also be introducing some new faces as well as new-to-theatre director Dan Wilson whose credits include directing Sir Ian McKellen and Status Quo in Coronation Street, EastEnders, BBC's Land Girls and 32 Brinkburn Street, and feature film The Roundabout.
Sarah is joined in By The Slice by her sister, Producer Becky Adams. 'Of course initially I was introduced to Call Me! because it's my sister that has written it, but it was clear immediately how funny, engaging and close-to-the-bone the script was, and how well it connected with audiences, and so I quickly got my company Reelscape Productions involved!' says Becky.
Call Me! follows three women on an exposing comedy journey through their all too familiar relationship mishaps. Fed up with their bizarre relationships, our three lead characters decide to visit hippie love therapist Sandy Morris - founder of the Love Yourself To A Love Life Worth Loving movement. This proves an adventure in itself. Meanwhile, the antithesis of the conventional relationship plays out between confident Jenny and clumsy Mike. Will they become the success story of the unexpected? Will any of our characters succeed in banishing the rough from the smooth? Not if Sandy has anything to do with it!

With all those actors and buskers everywhere, nobody minds the Hare Krishna's snaking through. They fitted in rather well!
Sri Sri Khoda-Nitai Mayapura-sasha
ISKCON Scotland is based in Karuna Bhavan, Lesmahagow, which is between and slightly south of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The devotees preach throughout Scotland and Northern England, distributing books and running Namma Hatta programs and occasional festivals.
The scottish devotees are famous for their \u2018GOURANGA!\u2019 campaign.
Gouranga (the Golden one) is a name of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, an incarnation of Sri Krishna who preached the glories of the holy name (Hare Krishna) throughout India 500 years ago. The sound of \u2018Gouranga\u2019 is extremely potent spiritually, just like the Hare Krishna mantra, and whoever hears or chants this name becomes liberated.
Apart from the books of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON Scotland can also supply various \u2018Gouranga!\u2019 branded merchandise such as mugs, toys and CDs.
Note: \u2018Gouranga\u2019 is the Scottish spelling of \u2018Gauranga\u2019.

August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's no shortage of talent and satire here!.
Part of the Free Fringe, the New Zealand company Trick of the Light Theatre has travelled across the world to tell a wonderful story of maps and roads that exist only if you know where to look for them. And if you follow them, the consequences may be more real than you expected.
The starting point of the story is the paper roads of New Zealand \u2013 roads that were built and drawn in on several maps but never materialised as the money was missing. Conjuring up a visual imagery that switches between episodic temporaries in refreshing ways, The Road that Wasn\u2019t There imagines what would happen if one did indeed follow one of these paper roads off the edge of the real world.
The story centres on Maggie, who as a young girl follows one of these paper roads leading off behind the graveyard on her way to work for her family. She finds everything she has always wanted, but is drawn further and further away from the real world and into this wondrous world where time stands still. Performed through acting, puppetry and shadow theatre, the story is woven into a contemporary plot where her grown-up son is moving her to an old people\u2019s home to protect her from her fantasies. As the two stories unfold, we learn something both about reality and about responsibility, love, and the changes that have occurred between generations.
The Road That Wasn\u2019t There played at the Free Sisters venue until the 26 August as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Well its taken 90 shots before an excuse for a Primal Scream track.
Primal Scream date from 1982 back in Glasgow, Scotland. The band performed throughout 1982-1984, but their career did not take off until Bobby Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their more jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and then garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound.
The 1991 somewhat Acidhouse inspired album Screamadelica was the one that broke the band into the mainstream. It won the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992. Its best heard in its 2 x LP vinyl incarnation.
Bobby's school friend was Alan McGee, who took Gillespie to his first gig, a Thin Lizzy concert. McGee and Gillespie were heavily influenced by punk rock, and they joined a local punk band, The Drains, in 1978. McGee soon moved south to London, Gillespie staying in SE Glasgow.
The band still tour and I have some shots from w=33062170@N08&
m=tags\' target=\'_blank\'>Manchester December 2008.
Screamadelica (go for the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is an excellent starting point to get to know the band. Alternatively checkout the Dirty Hits compilation.

Perhaps prison is not the place to have a strong sex drive. Sex can be a terror. There could also me many straight / gay / homosexual predators wanting others. The lonely sometimes stray from their norm and be curious. Other times it may be for favours. More tabs, blow or less pain.
Pornography probably does not help either, maybe it makes it worse. Members of staff do have sex with inmates, some looking to be seduced, some seducing. Where a guard rapes or assaults a prisoner, the guard generally goes free and the prisoner is prosecuted as a pervert.
Tattoos can have special meanings in prison. A convicts skin canvass can say a lot about him and his history. Some are:
Clocks without hands - Doing Time
Eight Balls - Unlucky, IE behind the 8 ball
One laughing face, one crying face - Play now, pay later

Well, the Sugababes, what is there not to like? In 2006, British Hit Singles &
Albums named the Sugababes as the most successful female act of the 21st century with six UK number one singles and eighteen UK top ten hits.
Their number one singles include such songs as 'Freak Like Me', 'Round Round', 'Hole in the Head', 'Push the Button' and 'About You Now'. They have also accumulated five UK top ten albums (four of which have gained at least platinum certification), including chart-toppers Taller in More Ways and Change. The Sugababes have been nominated for six Brit Awards, winning one for Best British Dance Act in 2003.
The second lineup was my favourite. Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and former Atomic Kitten member Heidi Range.
Having already started work on a second album with new member Range, the trio looked for a new record label, eventually signing to Island Records. Their first single on the new label, 'Freak like Me' scored the group their first UK number 1 single. Follow-up single 'Round Round' also debuted on top of the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 2 in Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand. Both singles were certified silver by the BPI.
On the back of the success of the singles, the group's second album, Angels with Dirty Faces, debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was later certified triple platinum, selling almost a million copies in the UK alone. It is to date their highest-selling album. In the UK, the third single from the album, a ballad entitled 'Stronger', gained the girls their third consecutive top ten hit in their native country. The track was released as a double-A side with 'Angels with Dirty Faces' in the UK, the latter song chosen as the theme tune to The Powerpuff Girls Movie. A fourth single, the Sting-sampling 'Shape', made the top ten in the Netherlands and Ireland in early 2003.
Tattooing has been practiced for centuries in many cultures spread throughout the world. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally had facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa), M\u0101ori of New Zealand, Hausa people of Northern Nigeria, Arabic people in East-Turkey and Atayal of Taiwan with facial tattoos.
In Japan, tattoos are strongly associated with organized crime organizations known as the yakuza, particularly full body tattoos done the traditional Japanese way (Tebori). Many public Japanese bathhouses (sent\u014d) and gymnasiums often openly ban those bearing large or graphic tattoos in an attempt to prevent Yakuza from entering. The Government of Meiji Japan had outlawed tattoos in the 19th century, a prohibition that stood for 70 years before being repealed in 1948.
In the United States many prisoners and criminal gangs use distinctive tattoos to indicate facts about their criminal behavior, prison sentences, and organizational affiliation. A tear tattoo, for example, can be symbolic of murder, with each tear representing the death of a friend. At the same time, members of the U.S. military have an equally well established and longstanding history of tattooing to indicate military units, battles, kills, etc., an association which remains widespread among older Americans. Tattooing is also common in the British Armed Forces.
Tattooing was also used by the Nazi regime in Nazi concentration camps to tag prisoners.
Insofar as this cultural or subcultural use of tattoos predates the widespread popularity of tattoos in the general population, tattoos are still associated with criminality. Tatoos on the face in the shape of teardrops are usually associated with how many people a person has murdered. Although the general acceptance of tattoos is on the rise in Western society, they still carry a heavy stigma among certain social groups. Tattoos are generally considered an important part of the culture of the Russian mafia.
The prevalence of women in the tattoo industry, along with larger numbers of women bearing tattoos, appears to be changing negative perceptions. A study of 'at-risk' (as defined by school absenteeism and truancy) adolescent girls showed a positive correlation between body-modification and negative feelings towards the body and self-esteem
however, also illustrating a strong motive for body-modification as the search for 'self and attempts to attain mastery and control over the body in an age of increasing alienation.
Conspicuous tattoos and other body modification can make gainful employment difficult in many fields.

Donna' - Play this track here. An alternative track for this image from Prestwich's 'The Fall' can be enjoyed here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is a track that for me always conjours up the old 'Top Rank' Bingo clubs of 1970's and 80's Britain. Another John Peel backed track that helped me to appreciate reggae.
The young Jamaican singers Althea Forrest (17), and Donna Reid (18), caused a surprise with their one-off reggae hit single, 'Uptown Top Ranking'. It was produced by Joe Gibbs using a re-recording of the 'riddim' of the 1967 Alton Ellis' song 'I'm Still In Love', which had already been re-popularised in the 1970s by Marcia Aitken's cover 'I'm Still In Love With You Boy' and the deejay track 'Three Piece Suit' by Trinity, to which 'Uptown' was an 'answer record'. The single's UK release was on the Lightning label.
'Uptown Top Ranking' reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in February 1978, after early championing by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, but had only one week at the chart summit. The lyrics were written by the duo and Errol Thompson. Althea &
Donna thus at that time became the youngest female duo to reach the pinnacle of the UK chart.
Its been covered many times since. A sample of the 'No Pop, No Style' refrain from the record was used and formed part of the lyrics to Pop Will Eat Itself's (PWEI) 1991 single, 'X, Y &
Zee'.
------------------------
Bingo or Housey Housey as some pensioners still call it is a gambling game of unknown origin. Players mark off numbers on a ticket as they are randomly called out, in order to achieve a winning combination.
The first column contains numbers from 1 to 9, The second column numbers from 10 to 19, The third 20 to 29 and so on up until the last column, which contains numbers from 80 to 90 (the 90 being placed in this column as well).
When called, numbers often aquire the types of preambles below:
Kelly's Eye 1, One Little Duck 2, Cup of Tea 3, Knock at the Door 4, Man Alive 5, Tom's Tricks 6, Lucky 7, Garden Gate 8, Doctors Orders 9, Tony's Den 10, Legs Eleven 11, One Dozen 12, Unlucky for Some 13, Key of the Door 21, Dirty Gertie 30, Down on your Knees 43, Heinz Varieties 57.
If you fancy yourself as a bingo caller, choose a handy mirror and have a go using any of the random phrases above. Alternatively, find some Reggae online, The Bob Marley 'One Love' compilation is as good as any place to start. Tell em I sent you!

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is a track I first heard on Tommy Vance's friday night rock show on BBC radio one. I rediscovered it many years later when a friend lent me 'Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus'. Spirit were a LA band from the late 1960's.
The original lineup of the group evolved from an earlier Los Angeles band, The Red Roosters, which included Randy California (guitars, vocals), Mark Andes (bass) and Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion). With the addition of Ed Cassidy (drums) and keyboard player John Locke the new band was originally named the Spirits Rebellious (after a book by Khalil Gibran) but was soon shortened simply to Spirit. Randy California had also played with Jimi Hendrix (then known as Jimmy James) in Jimmy James and the Blue Flames in 1966.
In 1968 they toured with support band Led Zeppelin, who were heavily influenced by Spirit. Led Zeppelin played an extended medley during their early 1969 shows that featured 'Fresh Garbage' among other songs, Jimmy Page's use of a theremin has been attributed to his seeing Randy California use one which he had mounted to his amplifier, and it is now widely accepted that Page lifted the descending guitar figure from Spirit's instrumental 'Taurus' for Led Zeppelin's signature tune 'Stairway To Heaven'.
Mr Skin, a track about pornography (or maybe just Ed Cassidy, drummer of Spirit) has a great saxaphone solo in it, worth a listen just for that.

But I'm trying anyway
Like my hearts gonna drop
My mind drifts away and I can't control the pains
Words are spinning in my head
Don't know why I'm holding back
I should just tell you how I'm feeling yeah heh
But I don't wanna act a fool
Don't wanna look confused
If I let you know about the way I feel
Don't know what you gonna do

And imagine you were mine
And I'm feeling you so close but yet so far
You hold the key to my heart
The more I brush it off
Tell myself it's nothing at all
Deeper I fall
And I imagine everyday
A thousand different ways
How you respond to what I say
Am I getting lost in my dreams?
Are you unreachable to me?
Cause these butterflies just won't go away

And the secret is get-ting heavy to hold

So I may stut-ter when I speak
And my knees may get a little weak
But I've got nothing to lose and only you to gain
Tell me do you feel the same
But I don't wanna act a fool
Don't wanna look confused

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4760947103 - 'The Sleeping Beauty Novels by Anne Rice (writing as A. N. Roquelaure). Best known for her gothic vampire stories and later religious-themed works, Rice is also the creator of a trilogy centered on Sleeping Beauty -- The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Beauty's Punishment
and, Beauty's Release.
Rice puts a strong emphasis on human desire and Beauty\u2019s sexual awakening with these erotic, sometimes sadomasochistic, stories.
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (1983), Beauty's Punishment (1984), and Beauty's Release (1985) are erotic novels by Anne Rice writing under the pseudonym of A. N. Roquelaure. The trilogy was a bestseller, outearning Interview with the Vampire.
They are lengthy BDSM novels, reminiscent of Story of O, set in a medieval fantasy world based very loosely on the legend of Sleeping Beauty. The novels contain both maledom and femdom scenarios, as well as vivid imageries of bisexuality, ephebophilia and bestiality.
In this alternative racy adult orientated tale, Beauty is awakened from her hundred-year sleep by the Prince, not with a simple kiss, but with a deflowering, initiating her into a Satyricon-like world of sexual adventures. After stripping her naked he takes her to his kingdom, ruled by his mother, the Queen.
There Beauty is trained as a slave and a plaything. The rest of the naked slaves, dozens of them, in the Queen's palace are princes and princesses sent by their royal parents from the surrounding kingdoms as tributes. In this palace they spend several years learning to become obedient and submissive sexual property, accepting being spanked, being publicly displayed, crawling around on their hands and knees, servicing their masters and mistresses, until they return to their own lands 'being enhanced in wisdom'.
In the palace Beauty meets another slave, Prince Alexi, with whom she copulates passionately. After that he tells her the long adventurous journey he had in the palace. Alexi previously had been a stubborn prince who fought back all the attempts to break him, until the Queen sent him to the kitchen to get him tortured by crude kitchen servants.
The punishment Alexi received there was so savage and merciless he began to lose his senses and, after some particularly humiliating training at the hands of a strong stable boy, Alexi became a totally surrendered slave, playing various sexual games at the Queen's commands.
The moral of Alexi's story notwithstanding, Beauty fails to become an obedient plaything, and the book closes with her being sentenced to brutal slavery in the neighboring village along with other failed slaves.
So the moral of all this: 'Dont waste your life waiting for your prince to come'.

Roulette is a casino game named after a French diminutive for 'little wheel'. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even.
A legend tells Fran\u00e7ois Blanc supposedly bargained with the devil to obtain the secrets of roulette. The legend is based on the fact that the sum of all the numbers on the roulette wheel (from 1 to 36) is 666, which is the 'Number of the Beast'.

They could be on a distant planet, or maybe just popped out of Sigourney Weaver's air conditioning duct (or maybe the Spar on Thelwall New Road).

There are some cracking books on tattooing around. They are great for inspiration and like this chap, if I was having a large scale piece of work done it would be the ideal coffee table book to be browsing. Tat history is over 5000 year-old as proved by a tattooed mummy found in modern day Egypt. there are many fine books that document and illustrate it.
Here are some of my favourites that I have read, owned, enjoyed, had stolen or lost during the years.
The Sketchbook: 80 Unique Designs by the World's Finest Tattoo Artists.
A perfectly tattooed body requires the skills of a professional and talented artist, who creates a unique and personal design. These designs are often inspired by one or more of the various tattoo styles of Japanese, Maori or other tribal origin. 'The Sketchbook' offers the reader a selection of 80 of these unique designs by well-known and less famous, but very promising, tattoo artists from around the world. Each artist was requested to create a sketch unrestrained by commercial demands and which reflects their own personal interests.
Bodies of Inscription : A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community
this is a pretty academic book. The new tattoo community described here is demographically quite different from the old. It is more female, more middle-class, and more educated, whereas the earlier society of tattoo collectors was primarily working class and male. DeMello lays out some of the social history of tattooing to prepare for her discussion of the changes in tattooing in the past 20 years. From handpicked prison tattoos to the latest in today's 'tribal' design, from gang symbols to feminist ones, tattoos themselves have changed to meet changing demands and fashions.
The Tattoo Encyclopedia: A Guide to Choosing Your Tattoo
As they should, tattoos continue to move into the mainstream and grow in popularity. For people pondering getting a tattoo, however, the choice of images can be overwhelming. A comprehensive, informative exploration of the colorful world of tattoos, The Tattoo Encyclopedia presents concise descriptions of symbols both common and unusual and sheds light on their historic, religious, and cultural significance.
Bushido
Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo. This includes over 200 cracking photos by the classic tat2 photographer Jai Tanju. The text is based largely on Takahiro Kitamuras experiences as customer and student of the famed Japanese tattoo master, Horiyoshi III.
Tattoo Art Tribal Vol.II
Tattoo Art has been producing high quality tattoo designs for over a decade. Professional tattoo artists worldwide have used Tattoo Art's wide assortment of designs to satisfy all their customer needs. The quality and variety of the tattoo designs produced by Tattoo Art has placed them among the industry leaders. Its a great index of proven designs.
Also, call me a luditte, but if it was a choice between an electronic version of one of these books (ie Kindle download), or shiny paper, i would go for the latter every time. When my Billy bookcase sags, it actually smiles. :-)

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is one of my all time favourite tracks and one of Matt Johnsons finest lyrical masterpieces from the Some Bizarre record label.
Its generally the best known track on Soul Mining, 'The The's second album, released in 1983. The album version of 'Uncertain Smile' featured the piano playing of Jools Holland. Holland revealed in his 2007 biography that it is in fact two separate solos joined together. The original single used flute and sax solos played by Crispin Cioe of the Uptown Horns. The cover artwork is by Andy Johnson, Matt Johnson's brother, aka Andy Dog.
If you are unfamiliar with 'The The' checkout '45 RPM: The Singles of The The', an excellent trip through 15 or more years of the band. Hunt it down, tell 'em I sent you.
------------------------
Peeling the skin back from my eyes, I felt surprised
That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired
To the place where I cleared my head of you
But just for today, i think I'll lie here and dream of you.
I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
But if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to SWIM AND pull you out.
A howling wind blows the litter as the rain flows,
As street lamps pour orange coloured shapes through your window,
A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes,
Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile...
I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
But if the sweat pours out, just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6106795463 - 'The Gang Of Four - I Can't Forget Your Lonely Face - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Me and the Gang Of Four go way back to listening to the late great John Peel 10pm til midnight 1978. They were the thinking mans punk band, playing politically motivated rock &
dub, gloriously mixed up.
The Gang's debut single, 'Damaged Goods' backed with '(Love Like) Anthrax' and 'Armalite Rifle', was recorded in June 1978 and released on 10 December 1978, on Edinburgh's Fast Product label. I still have one in my loft.
It was produced by the Gang of Four and Bob Last and Tim Inman. It was a Number 1 indie chart hit and John Peel radio show favourite. This led to two Peel radio sessions, which, with their incendiary live performances, propelled the band to international attention and sold-out shows across Europe and North America. They were then signed by EMI records.
The group's debut single with this label, 'At Home He's a Tourist', charted in 1979. Invited to appear on top rated BBC music program Top of the Pops, the band walked off the show when the BBC told them that they must sing 'packets' instead of 'rubbers' as per the lyrics of the song, as the original was too subversive for this TV slot. The single was then banned by BBC Radio and TV, which lost the band support at EMI, who began to push another band, Duran Duran, instead. A later single, 'I Love a Man in a Uniform', was banned by the BBC during the Falklands War in 1982.
Fast forward 30 years &
Britain is again in the grip of coalition government &
flaccid opposition. The perfect time to re-emerge.
In January 2011, the band released a new album, Content, which was very well received. Andrew Perry, writing in Britain's Telegraph newspaper, gave it (21 January 2011) a 5-star rating and said that it was 'their best record since the Seventies', an opinion with which I agree.
Jon Pareles, awarding the album 4 stars in a New York Times review of 25 January 2011, declared that [the band] 'have reclaimed, with a vengeance, their old attack', Dan Wilcox of KCRW (17 January 2011) said [of Content]: 'Entertaining, scintillating and dangerous, the band has lost none of its explosive edge over the years.'
In his Pitchfork review of the album, January 26, 2011 Stuart Berman wrote 'If Gang of Four's 2005 reformation proved they could more than hold their own against the upstarts, then Content shows that their chief concerns \u2013 the financial and psychological toll of keeping up with the Joneses \u2013 resonate all the more loudly in an Internet-accelerated era where even those on the vanguard can feel behind the times, and where the lawless, anonymous nature of online exchange threatens to overwhelm our identities. It's thus fitting that the album's most exuberant moment \u2013 the muscular Motown stomp 'Who Am I?' \u2013 is used to soundtrack a modern-day anarchist's existential crisis: 'You can't steal when everything is free'.
'Content' was one of my fave 3 albums of that year, gave me better time-travel than a tardis!

An old shot, sadly the noise abatement society have led to the demise of CBGB's at 315 Bowery. I dont know who should be more ashamed. The club originally opened by Billy Kristal closed in October 2006. The final concert was performed quite appropriately by Patti Smith on 15/10/2006.
A lot of my favourite bands cut their teeth there and I remember having early cassette tape bootlegs from CBGB's. My faves were the Ramones, Tom Verlaine &
Television, Patti Smith Group, The Dead Boys (I came across Sonic Reducer on 12' last week- which prompted me to dig this out), Richard Hell &
The Voidoids, The Cramps, Blondie and those darlings Talking Heads.

(RIP 10th August 2007, aged 57, Withington, Manchester, England). As with everything else in the Manchester Factory empire, Tony Wilson's coffin was also given a Factory catalogue number - FAC 501.
I have memories of my old mum, coming home from catholic church on Sunday talking about that scruffy 'Tony Wilson' turning with 'dodgy shoes'. This was when he lived in Charlesworth with Lindsay Reade. In his youth he lived in affluent Marple, Stockport Cheshire.
I was lucky enought to photograph Chad &
Shez at their punk wedding. One of my most enjoyable days out ever. Brilliant people and family.

Dave with his full face tattoo. A very tattood man !
As many people will know I generally attend the local tattoo convention at Manchester and Liverpool. Too many people do 'judge by the cover' however, which is very wrong. A tat can be a fashion statement or something more.
A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding. Indeed the habit of women having one just above the bottom is offen referred to as a 'tramp stamp'.
The word tatoo appears to be a loan word from Polynesian 'tatau'. People have also been forcibly tattooed. A well-known example is the identification system for inmates in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. Tattoos have also been used for identification in other ways. For example, in the period of early contact between the M\u0101ori and Europeans, M\u0101ori chiefs sometimes drew their moko (facial tattoo) on documents in place of a signature.
Permanent makeup is the use of tattoos to enhance eyebrows, lips (liner and/or lipstick), eyes (liner), and even moles, usually with natural colors, as the designs are intended to resemble makeup.
In Japan, tattoos are strongly associated with organized crime organizations known as the yakuza, particularly full body tattoos done the traditional Japanese way (Tebori).
In the United States many prisoners and criminal gangs use distinctive tattoos to indicate facts about their criminal behavior, prison sentences, and organizational affiliation. A tear tattoo, for example, can be symbolic of murder, with each tear representing the death of a friend. At the same time, members of the U.S. military have an equally well established and longstanding history of tattooing to indicate military units, battles, kills, etc., an association which remains widespread among older Americans. Tattooing is also common in the British Armed Forces.

Many of its monuments and statues are connected with big maritime disasters of the early twentieth century. These include the Titanic, Lusitania and the Empress of Ireland. Other associations with the sea are the Liverpool pilot boat disasters of 1917 and 1939 and the loss of the submarine 'Thetis'.
It is a super place for draping yourself around a limestone angel and well worth a train trip from Chester or east from Liverpool.
There is an email address for it. Note that you cannot actually contact the dead, but friends of the cemetery who could probably tell you more if you have relatives buried here (friends@wallaseycemetery.co.uk).

09/12 - \u00bfte gusta?
It was the star tattoo on her arm that first caught his gaze, then the long blond hair. The station was quite empty for what was usually the busy evening rush hour from work.
'\u00bfte gusta?\u201d, she startled him after noticing him staring. \u201cDisculpe, excuse me\u201d he said in an embarrassed English accent. For someone usually very confident he could feel his face going red. It wasn\u2019t the warm breeze blowing through Cordoba station this time either.
He missed his train that evening. And the next, and the next....
He realised he had reached one of life\u2019s encrucijada\u2019s. It felt good.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX3K - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world
