STUFF by Andrew Goodwin all rights and media rights reserved, 2012 Even though so many things are getting worse, this means that some things are getting better. Thrift stores are thriving, for instance. Store-bought new stuff seems less important than it did a week ago, doesn't it? People are making music without necessarily spending all that much time thinking about the music industry. The

"WE'LL MEET AGAIN"  by Andrew Goodwin Politics has been defined as the art of the possible; war as politics by other means; few like to concede that this might mean that war is the art of the possible.  But enough about the football, recent events in downtown Oakland are clearly more important. The old flag-burning game. When groups of humans gather with some common goal in

The Most Gifted Comedian-Philosopher Who Ever Lived I SAW THAT STONE MOVE by E.L. Wisty POP has a new blog, having vowed never to start a second one he realized that there was room enough in the mind and day to release another voice -- not a simulacra, an hommage -- for it attempts to pay tribute to not re-place the o.g. as if that could be done. The new blog is just for fun. Once

At The Palace with Sir Andrew Goodwin Your Royal Correspondent At first I thought that anyone who accepts crowns and new first names from The Queen of all people (notice: not-elected-to-office, see North Africa, Iran, Greece, Ireland/The Vatican, et al) has done a bad thing, and then I changed my mind about that.  At first, on reading that David Bowie had turned down a knighthood (is that

The Weekend Starts Here? by Andrew Goodwin What is Friday anyway? How is it that we know it is Friday, just from how it feels, even if we do not consult a clock, a diary, a calendar, or -- these days -- a phone? Today is a special day, for lots of reasons; the main one being, it is a day. One of the most cruel aspects of our lives, it seems to me, is that we quickly discover that

"Chemistry is destiny." by Andrew Goodwin Many of us have by now had the experience of taking what seems like a perfectly legitimate substance only to find that it does enormous harm. We can say this of alcohol, nicotine, and dairy products. We can say this of Ambien, Ativan, and Zoloft. We can say this of sativa, indica and sativa-indica.

"Not in my lifetime!" by Andrew Goodwin Yesterday afternoon on KALW (91.5fm, kalw.org) there was a fascinating and sophisticated discussion concerning consciousness and free will that lead me to think again about the hard block theory of the universe. As I have been trying to work out in a novel called On The Circle Line, the extent to which The Fates determine our futures, the important

"Many would argue that inequality is unimportant."  by Andrew Goodwin As you may know, the Financial Times is currently running a series on Capitalism In Crisis, having less than four years ago commissioned a series of think pieces on The Future Of Capitalism.

Is there reasonable cause to believe that one day 2011 will be looked upon as a year that changed the World? At the end of a long and arduous campaign, on one rather happy evening in October 2008 [Freudian slip -- November] we were asked to be the change that would change the world. But then once people started actually doing that, someone called the cops. Mixed messages, especially for the

Move. Movement. We used to do 'music and movement' at school but it was not a political thing, although it also was but we did not know that. Can you only recognise a paradigm shift after it has happened? For instance, the cops can take out Occupy Oakland, beat innocent people on the campus of UC Berkeley just yards from here; and the media can continue, 30 (40?) years after the Glasgow

When I first came across the blog HOOKS, run by philosopher-musician Steve Smith, I imagined it would be a slightly interesting take on Adorno that said something about the hooks (choruses, etc.) in pop songs that might be a bit more interesting than the one idea served up by Adorno that has been the basis for the entire careers of some folks in cultural studies. What I found genuinely surprised

Rob Vasey, the musical wunderkind who started DRY RIB, just this morning has sent me a file that took my breath away. It is a new version of his song Alaska and so perfect is this piece of music that I was unable to think about what to say about a song that absorbed me into Rob's internal world even as it not only but also seemed to describe some aspects of my own. How queer! As I wrote to Rob

Back in the days of Rock Against Racism DRY RIB played a gig for the Chile Solidarity Campaign, organised by the Young Communist Party. The YCP rep seemed surprised that we looked insufficiently 'punk' (oh dear) but the audience seemed not to mind about that. DRY RIB wrote a piece especially for the event, 'Religion In The East', based on a poem by Pablo Neruda. It is now at Soundcloud. The

Just uploaded to Soundcloud an Edward Ball song (by his band The Times), 'The Things We've Learned', featuring DRY RIB's Joni Sackett on vocals. This is a very fine song to wake up to. Languid, poignant, a teaching that might pull you out of a coma. Thanks to Diallo McLinn for the beautiful image titled 'Berkeley Life'.

Rock musicians -- as Simon Frith has pointed out -- go through various phases and stages of mental confusion, and this is the result of the industrialisation of culture. Bands form saying they care nothing for money -- well, they used to. If they fail to make money, they blame the suits and assert their moral superiority over the bean counters who cheated the world of their art. If they make

A friend, a Leeds fan but a friend nonetheless, kindly invites you to a trial for Google Plus. You sign up to see what it is like. You do not like what you see. For this is a trial and it feels Kafka-esque. Something is intrusive about it but you are not sure what. You just find it a bit creepy, is all. After spending an hour trying to figure out how to leave the trial, you manage to send a

The quote is from Robert Plant and if you want to be cheap about that and say well he should know then you know nothing of the history of Led Zeppelin. Sometimes the best way to tell a true story is in fragments. Because life is not one damn thing after another. You are talking to your ten-year old niece and she seems rather interested in zazen, art, and punk rock. You mention Johnny Rotten.

Bereft? A word not often heard. It lacks pity; it packs empathy. Andrew Goodwin and all members of DRY RIB are bereft at this sad sorrow news. Another great artist is lost to her own truth-telling talents. She's a woman. That counts as much as Jimi Hendrix (may he RIP). Right? Rehab was not the answer. Not in this case.

Bernie Martin is a Liverpool fan, Goodwin of course supports the Chels. As does Edward Ball. Muholland thinks football is a complete waste of time. And Kendall -- being an Arsenal fan -- watches a lot of cricket. Rivertown Blues or Rivertown Reds? Same diff.

Just uploaded DRY RIB's Satellites to Soundcloud. Bernie Martin once claimed he wrote this song! The liar. You can tell that Goodwin wrote it, obviously, since it has about two notes in the whole thing. You could also say that after writing and recording Satellites, Goodwin realized that the one-note riff in the verse is taken from a mf YES track -- some piece of shite off that shite record

If you are composing collectively, who is responsible for finding the author? And who has the authority to do this? My guess is the answer lies in the political economy of the music industry (obviously) but also in existentialism; because it is out of habit (not just because of "pressures and limits" as Raymond Williams put it, set by the kultur industry) that we form bands and bonds and then

Just uploaded a 'lost' DRY RIB track to Soundcloud, World In Small Doses, written by Bernie Martin and meself. There is an implausible tale to the saga surrounding the absurd way we recorded this track (inspired by a quote from D. W. Winnicott), but that story can wait for another day.

The music uses technology. Music IS a technology. A lute is a technology. Musicians find strange ways to use the technology. Feedback, tape-to-tape multi-tracking, steel tables turned into musical instruments, backwards tapes that mess with your time switches, quantized beats create glitches at the hop. The idea of doing your music on a computer is abhorrent to DRY RIB. Even though, well, this
