FREE film screenings.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First is the screening of <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/news_detail.lasso?story_id=1882">Berberian Sound Studio.</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>It's 1976 and timid, Dorking-based sound engineer, Gilderoy, has been transplanted to Italy's run-down Berberian Sound Studio to work on "The Equestrian Vortex", the latest low-budget horror movie by notorious exploitation maestro Giancarlo Santini. Gilderoy's task is a seemingly simple one: to create, record and mix the sounds of bloodcurdling screams, limbs being severed and the insertion of red hot pokers into human orifices, mostly using a variety of everyday household items such as old vegetables and a hammer. But Gilderoy is totally unprepared for the graphically grotesque images on show, the effect they have on him and for the unusual working practices of his employers. As he becomes more deeply involved in his work, the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred and, very subtly, Gilderoy's life begins to imitate art in a nightmare scenario from which he may never escape.</i></span><br />

It's the
start of the first real cold weather of the winter, and he's wearing a silk
scarf, sports jacket, checked shirt. We briefly discuss dyslexia, brogues and
caffeine before settling into the interview, during which Robert is effusive
and very funny. Robert's latest exhibition is entitled '</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To London With Love', a group show featuring work by members of the

tell me first what it is you like about the aesthetic qualities of a postcard?</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I like the size of postcards, the fact that they are so easily
accessible. I like that they are cheap and easy to store, easy to handle,
really. And I really love the fact that they are normally a reminder of some
event or place. </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And how about the actual
word "postcard", what does that mean to you?</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well the word conjures up a few images, I suppose... holidays,
something you can post for sure, communication. All of these works are actual
postcards, Cass Art postcards, so can be posted. It's also about the group
aspect... that somebody can go to an art gallery and buy a postcard. Well, here
they are buying the original artwork.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So the work
and the representation of the work are one and the same here?</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Yes, the original is affordable enough to take away. There's a
greater connectivity with the work.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It seems that the space behind the art suddenly
becomes important when the art is this size, how did you choose or use the
spaces you've chosen for these exhibitions?</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well, the thing with the Bristol show was that I used to go into this
underground comic shop and buy comics. The guy there knew I made art and asked
if I wanted to do something and I thought a group show would have the most
impact. So I guess practicality informs the whole thing, also with the work, we
didn't need to get a van to transport a load of artworks. And in the room
itself, we couldn't drill into the walls, so we hung the cards on the washing
line. So again, there is the practical. You know, it is quick. Afterwards, you
look and you see the shadows and the wall behind the cards... it's nice to see
it with the pegs and string. They look like Christmas cards...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">...sort of
domestic? There is a play between the idea of high art and the small, homely
idea of postcards, clothes line, pegs.</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Yes, yes. Sometimes, with exhibitions... the chance factor comes into
play. When you're hanging the work. Unless you're spending a lot of money and
time working out the lighting, spacing, the image order... but this was in a
little basement, three walls. It works the way we did it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So how do you
see the relationship between the practical and the conceptual with this work?</span></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well it's about </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">accessibility. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The whole idea is the
practical. The people involved are friends, associates, the spaces are where we
have relationships. The work is easy to buy, to take home, the cards are easy
to make. I mean by that, it's easier for me to give the artists a stack of
cards and tell them they can make what they want. There's no brief so they can
just have ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I like the idea that the work is affordable and want to encourage
people who don't usually think about buying a piece of artwork to buy an
artwork. I've been thinking about this a lot in the last few years... that
people, myself included, don't think about buying art because it is out of our
price range. So a show like this, most people can afford to buy a piece. Most
people don't mind going out getting wasted and at the end of it having nothing
to show for it. So why not come to this show, get wasted </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">and</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> leave with
an artwork that you can enjoy for a longtime afterwards? Also it would be good
to encourage people to get interested in artists, they might want to buy a
bigger work from in the future and if they lived with the small bit might think
that's a good idea. They learn to like the piece, "I want a bit more of
that</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There is a sense of democracy about the works.

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The idea of giving the artists the same postcards to work on
gives the whole show a uniform, an order, even though a lot of the artists'
work will be very different. I suppose it's about the overall look of the show
when it is hung. It is also, again, about the practicality of how easy it is to
pack the work up in a box and take to a show. It's easy to hang and artists can
even post the cards to me so it's all very easy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Most people, if you
go to their studio, or watch them work, they are listening to music. Classical,
the radio, whatever it is. So when you work without a brief, especially, the
music feeds into it. So, for example, Neal Fox has these things - saints, he
calls them, and there's Miles Davis, Iggy Pop, whoever... and Hannah Bays has
done something with Bowie, so the references are in there, direct, or more
oblique. The Heretic Printmakers have done these one-off prints for the show.
You go to their studio and they're blasting out the crazy music they listen to.
Music's a massive part of what they do, (they've) collaborated with all these
psych labels, Tim Burgess, Factory Floor. But everyone I know listens to
music... is influenced by it.</span></span></div>

and would have loved to. All my sisters are musical. I went to piano lessons
once because my sister told me the teacher gave you a mini mars bar afterwards.
I got the mars bar and he told me the piano wasn't for me. I would probably
agree. I have been in some strange musical outfits like the nu-cabaret outfit
The Meatballs in Jersey and the Victorian punk revivalists The Rubbishmen. I am
hoping on the launch night to bring together some friends who have musical
projects and have a mash up and the punk-poet Jock Scot's going to perform, who
is also in the show, The Fat White Family are playing... I'm not too sure how the launch will

for me right back to the first records I bought. In a pre-internet age the
record was a source of information as well as music. And I think more time was
spent on the overall look of the L.P. Bands like Crass... the artwork, the
sleeves, the lyrics... were so
important to what they were saying. And it was so interesting to look at and
read. It's art with a message. I also love the thank yous on records where the
bands would name check other bands, people, drug dealers, writers, artists,
cafes, pubs, organizations. You could read all this stuff and come out of it
knowing some new stuff. We have taken the thank you idea into the front
of Le Gun, it's a very fun part of making the magazine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

idea at the time. It meant we had strength in numbers and we could push our
ideas forwards better. Le Gun is probably better known than any of us as
individual artists around the world, so it gives us scope that we wouldn't get
on our own. There was a whole load of us into the same art, literature, music,
underground comics, drinking. At college you would see people, see their work </span><span style="color: #030302;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">and you know you'd never seen anything like it and you'd

it is like a band in a sense because there's difficult relationships, everyone
has an ego, there's communication problems... but when everybody's sitting
there, together, you can really push things further. Things progress in a way
they don't when you're on your own. There's totally different skill sets. There
might be, like, motifs or ideas that go right back to our first book, which
was, kind of, quite raw, I suppose. But as a whole there's always different
threads and ideas. But the group makes it happen. It's bigger and we can be
more epic.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

nerve-wracking slide show type of thing, and it was a really good indicator of
how people were, you know? How boring someone was, or what they were into, what
they liked. And then you would see the same people in the bar, drinking and
you'd start from there. You started to see that Andrzej Klimowski, who was the
course leader, had maybe chosen people, not chosen everyone... but there were
definite connections, a lot of narrative ideas, storytellers, really. So yeah,
the conversations you'd have were about, "Have you read this? Have you
seen this film?" And you'd start seeing things in people's work and then
the idea started to form that we should all do something. And then it was a
money raising thing, so we started to do these parties, with print-making,
group drawings. And that's how it all started. It became a kind of group
consciousness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

realizing it's got some connotations. But I don't think it's a big politics, as
such, it's more of a personal thing. I mean, we all hate David Cameron and the
Torys. That's just common sense. I suppose I'd say my personal politics are a
mix of the anarchic and the absurdist and some socialism. But I think politics
is about big business and keeping the rich rich. There's a real lack of social
responsibility. Capitalism is an idea where the end game is the destruction of
the world's resources and we are living in a time that is seeing Capitalism not
work, and there's no connection with politicians, it's all public schoolboys
engaged in one-up-manship, and people don't care. And that's, I suppose, what
we try and do with the magazine if anything, is show the sort of absurd nature
of politics. It is absurd. But obviously as well, we work together and again,
it's about a greater good.... the sum of your parts and all that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I try and create work that reflect my latest interests. Soho has always been a big
influence on my work and Victorian stuff, drinking, joke shops. But I see a lot
of motifs and things cropping up, stylistic things. It's also interesting to
see little spells where I draw or paint more, and ideas that I move on over
time, where I can see I've said to myself, "Oh, I like that, I'll expand
on that..." and later have done, without thinking almost.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the book is my homage to Martin Kippenburger's work, Feet First, which is a
frog, crucified, wearing a loin cloth and holding a German beer in one hand and
an egg in the other. But it's a great piece of art when you read about it... I
mean when I first saw it, I thought it was quite a novelty piece, really. I
thought it was funny, but also intriguing. And it's all about machismo,
creation, religion, big ideas, you know? And I was inspired and wanted to make
a homage. I only really came across his work, because we were asked to do a
group thing in Paris about the Paris Bar in Berlin, and he'd painted the bar,
and hung out there, drank, ate… so we looked at doing a group drawing and I
started getting into him, reading about him, looking at his work. And then I
saw that piece and it really tickled me and I wanted to make a homage. I was
thinking about how to make this thing, and I went to this carboot sale and I
saw this Kermit the frog for sale and I thought, "Oh, I want to think this
is fate." I mean, not fate, but sort of... I like it when you have an
idea, and then the way of doing it sort of just comes to you somehow. It's like
Bob Dylan, where he says that he could always just see the path ahead. Like he
knows that if he did this, this and this, it would come together. And I felt
that with the Kermit and that piece in the book.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rough Trade East are pleased to announce an exhibition of Ralph Steadman's Extinct Boids Suite, 12 images specially created from his and Ceri Levy's book, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=355983">"Extinct Boids"</a>. Exhibited for the first time together, the images are Ralph and Ceri's recent favourites from the collection of boids that have been created over the last year and a half. These boids have been delighting audiences since their arrival into our world and bring their homeland of Toadstool Island closer to us.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Frank Ocean's free-flow barritone is as strong as
any key soul vocalist from the past few decades. Throw in the production to
match, from true 70's jazz-funk legends, to modern day neo R&B starlets, to
the hip hop structure of beats and skits, this album expertly transcends
musical eras, with conviction and without ever sounding contrived. Lyrically it
pulls no punches around a variety of adult subjects, making the songwriting as
broad as it is sonically. As respectfully retro as much as it is the sound of
the future. Timeless.</span><br />

2012 and this album more than lived up to it on it's release in April. A
stunningly beautiful and intoxicating collection of throwback soul, southern
rock and r&b grooves. However it's 22 year old singer and guitarist Brittany
Howard's voice that makes this really special. part soft and sweet and part
full of passion and soul - it recalls Janis, Aretha, and even Otis. She really
is a true star and this is from someone who only quit her post office job last November.</span></span><br />

experimental art rock that hasn't been struck so well since the heady days of The

have successfully managed to incorporate countless music genres, production
techniques and sensibilities, whilst still sounding effortlessly at ease and
fully in control of their self-made musical identities. From the epic indie-pop
hooks, to the folktronic sentimentality, to the bottom end of the beats and the
art rock synths, the albums references are immeasurable, both sonically and
literary, without sounding too busy. These combined elements make this an album
you'll instantly remember and one you'll want to revisit often.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jurado's recent work with Richard Swift has invigorated an already impressive
body of work, fleshing out the song-writer's nuanced sketches with rich and

monument to the power of good, honest craft and artistic pursuit; an all too

hipsters.</span></span></div>

exclusive with a bonus 9 track cd featuring new tracks, b-sides and mixes from Bullion,
Kenton Slash, Bostro Pesopeo and Pachanga Boys plus updated artwork. John Talabot
has triumphantly intertwined sunburnt balearic boogie with touches of filtered
French funk, alongside the rain-sheltering bleakness of British bass
after-dark, the shady warehouse depths of early German deep house, and
cinematic synth-heavy soundcapes worthy of the Italians - landing itself as a
finished piece on the very aptly-named permanent vacation label. The result is
an album which is a relatively chirpy multi-Euro dance-in-the-dark at first
glance, but undoubtedly harbours a much more heads-down sense of darkness under
it's surface. Exceptional.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

exclusive with bonus cd. A unique and thrilling sound world in which to lose
yourself, hazy, reverb-drenched layers of synth, married to theatrical art-rock
hooks and driving post-punk rhythms all buzzing with a direct, spontaneous
energy, incredibly and expertly manufactured by one pair of hands and ears, with
a brilliant, original and effervescent imagination. The five tracks that make
up the bonus disc include three hard-to-find gems recorded in the same period
as the album itself alongside two brand new remixes. 'Ambrosia' originally
appeared on the Canadian LP pressing of the album, 'Christmas Song' was a
digital-only bonus track and 'Song For Ric', a collaboration with Majical Cloudz,
appeared on a compilation put together to help launch the music website Ad Hoc.
The remixes include Skip's take on 'Genesis' and Baardsen's reworking of 'Be A
Body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

London has no shortage of shows or promoters, and every night of the week you can go out and see great music in interesting, esoteric venues that fire the imagination. Eat Your Own Ears has consistently delivered great acts in great spaces to music lovers across this great city, and that's without mentioning the now much beloved Field Day every summer.</div>

We've listed a whole raft of upcoming gigs below, so you can see what's happening... we're expecting great nights out with Mark Kozelek, whose new album is a firm shop favourite and a beautiful slice of wry melancholia; the usual live brilliance of Adam Green, a must-see-live artist; some high brow pagan folk-pop from the soon to be huge Stealing Sheep; a great US songwriting double bill from Andrew Bird and Micah P Hinson; literate, delicate, artful music courtesy of Shearwater; and three HUGE shows from bands that need no hype-men in Django Django, SAVAGES and Gotye.

WONDERFUL LONDON FILM SCREENING LAUNCH at Rough Trade East this Wednesday 18th July at 7pm.</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Henry B Parkinson and Frank Miller's breathtaking 1920s travelogues about our capital city. Travelling from Chelsea to Hackney and taking in the familiar landmarks of London town - Buckingham Palace, the River Thames, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral, Wonderful London also reveals the unknown nooks and crannies and parts of London rarely filmed; the poorer, over-populated districts of Clerkenwell and Whitechapel and the original Chinatown of Pennyfields in Limehouse. There are glimpses of buildings we can no longer see on the ground; the long-gone Crystal Palace and the recently vanished gates of White City, where London's first Olympic stadium now lies under the Westfield Shopping Centre; on a boat trip up the Thames we can see Fred Karno's legendary 'Karsino'. We can also take a trip through working-class London on a barge from Limehouse to Paddington Basin, via Camden and King's Cross. By bus or tram or foot, we can observe the thronging Sunday street markets and wander down the little alleyways, past the pubs and law courts - buildings that Dickens knew. And most poignantly, we can see a past generation of Londoners going about their business, complaining about the roadworks or looking with curiosity at us through the camera lens - all gone now - but strangely like the Londoners of today.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Live soundtrack by <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=saint+etienne">Saint Etienne's</a> Bob Stanley and <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=smoke+a+london+peculiar">Smoke: A London Peculiar</a> editors Jude Rogers and Matt Haynes, plus BFI speaker Bryony Dixon.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Set in the beautiful grounds of the ancient Port Eliot estate (the oldest continually inhabited dwelling in the UK) in southeast Cornwall with a capacity of only 5000, this festival is a magical combination of books, food, music, art, comedy, fashion, films, flowers, photography, wildlife and water. Always inspiring and always surprising, Port Eliot has established itself as a matchless event on the arts calendar; things happen at Port Eliot you just don't find at other festivals. Last year, Kate Winslet gave an impromptu reading and Hollywood maestro Martin Scorsese curated the outdoor cinema.<br /><br />Rough Trade Shops will be taking their legendary store to Port Eliot again this year and you'll find us in Caught By The River's area opposite The Boathouse with merchandise, vinyl and cds for sale. Check in with us at the beginning of the weekend to find out what time the signing sessions begin.</span></span><br />

The people behind the show are also putting together a benefit album featuring the likes of Ed Harcourt and Alasdair Roberts, and the whole thing seems worthy of not just a mention here, like that matters, but of a moment of anyone's time who has had a day brightened or a sorrow lessened courtesy of Jason's beautiful art.<br />

SUGAR MAN is the gripping story of enigmatic American folk singer Rodriguez,
who commanded one of the largest fan-bases in 1970s South Africa. With his
Dylan-esque, but psychedelic, folk songs he enjoyed overwhelming success
overseas but remained utterly unaware of it, and vanished into obscurity. Wild
rumours circulated for decades about his fate, until two men set out to reveal
the man behind the myth.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

When George Orwell described his perfect pub – the ‘Moon Under Water’ – he wasn’t thinking of a Wetherspoon’s. Last year <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=346198">Robin Turner</a> travelled the UK in search of Orwell’s vision, visiting pubs and talking to people, including a session with N16 beer scribe Pete Brown in The Jolly Butchers.</div>

Pete’s next book – Shakespeare’s Local – tells the 500-year history of the George Inn in Southwark. So we decided to reunite the pair to compare notes and figure out what characterises London’s best pubs.</div>

<b></b>Return of the popular music and music-writing panel, hosted by World’s Coolest Librarian(TM) Richard Boon, who invites four renowned writers to each play the track that made them want to write about music, then discuss where serious writing about music is going, or has gone, and whether music and its writing matters in the way it once did. This year, on an NME tip, with its biographer <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=347733">Pat Long</a> and past writers David Quantick, James Brown and Barney Hoskyns.

In our East store, in the book section, appropriately nestled between the categories marked <b>Drugs</b> and <b>London</b>, is a small section of titles carefully selected, well-loved and thoroughly recommended by our friends at <a href="http://caughtbytheriver.net/">Caught By The River</a>. But while <b>London</b>, <b>Sex</b> and <b>Rock And Roll</b> all seem self explanatory as category headers, what is this other strange selection that shares its space here? <b>Caught By The River</b> is hard to pin down, I guess. It's a literary website. But it's cooler than just that - it's a literary website with a rural, nature loving bent. But it can be as muscular as it can twee. It features music and art and poetry and essays. It's a publishing house. It's punk and it's libertarian and it's brilliantly, steadfastly democratic.<br />It's also five years old this year, a wonderful achievement for a thing dedicated to beauty, art and nature as opposed to commerce and cynicism. To celebrate this landmark, as well as the launch of the paper-back of their brilliant first book, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=314870">A Collection Of Words On Water</a>, the Purcell Room in the <a href="http://caughtbytheriver.net/2012/02/the-caught-by-the-river-variety-show/">South Bank Centre</a> will for <a href="http://caughtbytheriver.net/2012/02/the-caught-by-the-river-variety-show/">one night on the 25th of May</a> <i>become</i> <b>Caught By The River</b>. For one night it will be a physical place, full of words, music, people of a like-mind and probably more than a couple of Barbour jackets... I don't exaggerate when I say that this site, as well as the myriad of books it has both spawned and believed in, is one of the greatest things out there in web-world. But even better, even more exciting than the site, is the prospect of seeing it all unfurl, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=349945">Chis Yates</a>, <a href="http://www.andrewsofarcadia.com/">John Andrews</a>, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=chris+watson">Chris Watson</a>, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=time+and+space+machine">Richard Norris</a>, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=347432">Robert MacFarlane</a> et al, in the flesh on the 25th.<br /><br />Get yourself down <a href="http://ticketing.southbankcentre.co.uk/find/music/tickets/the-caught-by-the-river-variety-show-64713">there</a>.<br /><br />

Acclaimed French artist FAFI is coming in to Rough Trade East for a signing session this <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/news_detail.lasso?story_id=1694">Thursday evening at 7pm</a> to celebrate the launch of her new book <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=351358">The Carmine Vault.</a><br />
<br />
Born and raised in Toulouse France, Fafi's strong presence in the graffiti and fine arts scene was first witnessed on her hometown walls in 1994. Back then, as she was painting and hustling, her sexy, funny, and sometimes aggressive girl characters made the whole world look and help kickstart a new graphic language; by exploring femininity through stereotypes, and using it to her advantage, she drew enormous attention and thus started to travel the world with thousands of Fafinettes in her brushes and paint cans. Europe, USA, Japan, Hong-Kong, the planet is a playground. And it's only started.<br />
<br />
Soon enough Sony would ask her to design a six character toy set for the Time Capsules collection, an almost natural move for the three-dimensional measures. other successful figurines would follow, as well as numerous expositions and collaborations with Colette, Adidas, LeSportSac, Coca-Cola, M.A.C cosmetics and countless press stories in the mot prestigious magazines (ie. Vogue, Elle, the Face, XLR8R, Yen, etc...).<br />
<br />
The animation world started to eyeblink her vision in Mark Ronson video featuring a Fafi-ed Lily Allen. Her multi-faceted work was all documented in her books GIRLS ROCK (2003) and LOVE AND FAFINESS (2006), both being also successful prints in museum libraries and selected shops.<br />
<br />
As for 2007, Fafi entered a new phase. Having become mother and moving to Paris made her introduce a new depth to her creations. Now not only the Fafinettes are fly girls, they also run a whole universe of creatures, homes and vehicles. It's called The Carmine Vault. It's a dreamy and peculiar place. She depicts this world in a graphic novel "The Carmine Vault" and gives her characters a whole new dimension, a tone and a place to evaluate.

Next up on Rough Trade East's art wall is an exhibition presented by <a href="http://caughtbytheriver.net/">Caught By The River</a> entitled 'Our Garden Birds' by <a href="http://mattsewell.co.uk/">Matt Sewell.</a>
Since its first appearance in July 2009, Matt's 'Bird of the Week' feature for the Caught by the River website has quickly become a cult hit. His pop-art watercolours are distinctive and enchanting, as are his innovative descriptions, which see great tits 'bossing the other birds around', the 'playful yet shy buoyancy' of bullfinches and the 'improbable' nature of the waxwing ('like a computer-generated samurai finch').'

Now, for the first time his original drawings and descriptions are compiled in this beautiful volume entitled <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=348983">'Our Garden Birds'</a>. The perfect read for bird-lovers and art and design fans alike.

There's a pop-up store for Record Store Day, like there was last year, and like there was in December. The December trip was great, not least because we were joined for two or three days by the gentleman genius that is <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=345797">Josh T Pearson.</a> He was great company and we had a blast. But I can't help feeling like Paris is haunted by this beautiful, ephemeral troubadour. Let me tell you why...<br /><br />A couple of nights ago, we were taken to a small <a href="http://www.westcountrygirl.com/index.html">creperie</a> for dinner. It was the kind of place you would walk past, like so many great places in great cities, unless you knew someone to take you there or tell you about it. Anyway, we sat down and ordered cider and ate bread. We got talking about December and Josh and the proprietor of the place, milling about behind the bar, pulling <span style="font-style:italic;">demis</span> and pouring ciders asks if we're talking about Josh. Yes, we say. He lived here for two years, the owner tells us in perfect English, we were fans and we had him stay and try and get his thing together. He ate a lot of crepes. The owners wife walks round to the bar. I make my own caramel and salt butter every day, she said (it's insanely good), and every night Josh would ask if I needed any 'cleaning up'. I had an image of Josh with that beard of his licking a caramel bowl clean. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_mJB5zFO9pJtgpMxAlka7TcjqOo7w1JB3PobHCxOZwiduKZI0l12pqV4hHaVw5W4drbTvyEJQHEM9j3NpMUqgEhUivbznyrvp3uhyePGbFejqbJ93ZSls88IEwqHA-ctXVO8uBj6pCw/s1600/brunch_paris_11_westcountrygirl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_mJB5zFO9pJtgpMxAlka7TcjqOo7w1JB3PobHCxOZwiduKZI0l12pqV4hHaVw5W4drbTvyEJQHEM9j3NpMUqgEhUivbznyrvp3uhyePGbFejqbJ93ZSls88IEwqHA-ctXVO8uBj6pCw/s400/brunch_paris_11_westcountrygirl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732313929439644690" /></a><br /><br />We hung out talking about music with the owners, who put on little shows - <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=345885">Neal Casal</a>, <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=328350">Micah P Hinson</a>... shows that were started by Josh when he lived there, and they have carried them on. The owner pulled out a record sleeve and handed it to me. It was an album recorded in that very place featuring one night's picking and singing with Josh, Bosque Brown, H Burns and Thousand.<br /><br />The owner recorded and produced the session and it sounded great when he played us a few songs. They just put mics up in the little bar and hammered it out over homemade apple digestifs and whiskey. The way a record like that should be made in a place like that... if you're going to make records in tiny Parisian creperies.<br /><br />He played us a couple of tracks off the second record he's got planned and half recorded with <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_results.lasso?search_type=advanced&search_terms=she+keeps+bees">She Keeps Bees</a>, which sounded great as well.<br /><br />If you're in Paris I recommend a crepe with vanilla ice cream and homemade caramel with salt butter at <a href="http://www.westcountrygirl.com/index.html">West Country Girl.</a> If you're into good music, I recommend getting hold of their records, too which will soon be available at <a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/">Rough Trade</a>...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwRaN7Ep9wQJLolqWBWsRefeGmmwCiv1wvs6Wns12QCJa5xX4WG8mo7URsrPXFmpovT9tnzOzhaOYIil7oG3ASMDk7j64X9WX0v2OYk7v_a7kQWKTY6YPBHFdIY2tjwXBtkvVxUjCFkEA/s1600/3610150177827.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwRaN7Ep9wQJLolqWBWsRefeGmmwCiv1wvs6Wns12QCJa5xX4WG8mo7URsrPXFmpovT9tnzOzhaOYIil7oG3ASMDk7j64X9WX0v2OYk7v_a7kQWKTY6YPBHFdIY2tjwXBtkvVxUjCFkEA/s400/3610150177827.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732313736410160706" /></a>Rough Trade Shopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13454385964681700403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428498573812226207.post-41987784976841878692012-04-03T14:50:00.005+01:002012-04-03T15:07:48.114+01:00Le Programme Rough Trade On Tour chez agnès b<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_TA5BSh90_z5QTN4yM4EdK1k0rlCRC-Uu5FmBRNczRxbq1OJLcH6vVF-zWgoDvTsvFNVyHXrHQJUlkXcIWeV8Zmv7lC2lhqz_oJ1jVPfCSNsXXU-ytQe1tl-l4XAQFtiRJCYnj2tfCr0/s1600/FlyerParis.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_TA5BSh90_z5QTN4yM4EdK1k0rlCRC-Uu5FmBRNczRxbq1OJLcH6vVF-zWgoDvTsvFNVyHXrHQJUlkXcIWeV8Zmv7lC2lhqz_oJ1jVPfCSNsXXU-ytQe1tl-l4XAQFtiRJCYnj2tfCr0/s400/FlyerParis.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727172041330213426" /></a><br /><br />The programme so far for Rough Trade chez agnés b is as follows...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICgBDCl_1XtUGxr8YwoHfTTeww7ePhkq_ghkJM5ulsCpZ6K0E2_ZHr8sei26XwnbyBOZdmPAiihz576GIPV54AraDImJ2G4GtaZXTWqFEqKDek09QCJFzIXrjG6-ewZ03oR_a5uUj5tQ/s1600/prog2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICgBDCl_1XtUGxr8YwoHfTTeww7ePhkq_ghkJM5ulsCpZ6K0E2_ZHr8sei26XwnbyBOZdmPAiihz576GIPV54AraDImJ2G4GtaZXTWqFEqKDek09QCJFzIXrjG6-ewZ03oR_a5uUj5tQ/s400/prog2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727175324547024258" /></a><br /><br />More guests to confirm soon stay updated via <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/RoughTradePopUp">Rough Trade On Tour Twitter</a>.
