Proof The Maths Can Be Shattered

Here's to hoping no die-hard fans of John Foxx get upset with me

over this... There had been a remixing contest a few months back

in support of John Foxx' new album, 'Interplay'

with his band, 'The Maths'.

You were provided the stems to the song 'Shatterproof' and

were free to give the song your interpretation. My take on it was

to create a universe John had never actually occupied...

Yes, we would take him back in time and realize him as a sort

of 'Electro-Jazz-Beat-Poet'!

I thought it would be an amusing journey to see him and the band

mixing it up with what would have been their contemporaries

of the time. I had a blast putting this one together.

The band is composed of members, John Foxx, Benge,

Serafina Steer and Hannah Peel. They will soon be embarking

on a European tour and here's to hoping somehow, someway

we'll see them grace these shores.

Many thanks to Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac,

Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, William S. Burroughs and

designer Saul Bass for making their many cameos! LOL

Hope You Enjoy!

A Place Where Everybody Dared To Go

It's not often you get to participate in seeing off an institution

that has begun to take in its final breaths. Sometimes these places

are sold into new management with new uses in mind,

others destroyed by disaster or a bad business sense.

In the case of the Del Monte Gardens skating arena in

Monterey, California you might say it was fashion

that brought it down.

In its heyday, the arena was the place to go on a Friday night by

the teens of the period. As time progressed it began to lose

its luster as an activity and the crowds dwindled.

It saw a new resurgence as a play land for young families

and as an exciting site for birthday parties.

Unfortunately, time caught up with the Gardens and leases

were lost. The owners held a much different future in mind

for the locale and will soon make way for a new market and

parking lot. It was nice to catch the closing sessions the

weekend before the final closing with a camera

in both video and stills.

A great remix of the  
Olivia Newton-John/ELO song,

'Xanadu' (Souldrifter's Movie Edit Mix) 
soundtracks the film.
