It’s with real sadness that I announce the death at seventy-six of one of my long-time heroes, the megalithic adventurer and Visionary author John Michell. According to his partner Christine Rhone, Michell died ‘peacefully and painlessly’ in the very early hours of April 24th. In the coming centuries, John Michell will most likely be best remembered as one of the Premier Heathenizers of the postwar years, his 1969 book debut THE VIEW OVER ATLANTIS bringing forth a vast landscape Vision that resonated so thoroughly with the Hippies that its author became, temporarily at least, considered something of a Rock God himself. He was a great figure, no less. Charging about the megalithic countryside accompanied by gangs of younger cohorts, or becalmed and lost amidst deep calculations before some great Land’s End stone alignment, John Michell epitomized the very English need to ‘see for one’s self’. Unlike archaeologists of the time, Michell spent vast hours in the field and knew his subject like no other, and the thoroughness of his methods filled his readers with trust. I have no doubt that he’s right now sizing up the very fabric of the next stage through which he must pass, shocked at certain things, but having most of his other suspicions confirmed. The world is a great deal poorer for his passing, and I raise my cup to John Michell for his dogged persistence and refusal to fall off the Trip. Sir, I salute ye!

Suddenly it's here! A new Brain Donor album? It's like we'd all almost given up on DRAIN'D BONER's sequel ever surfacing. Cope talked about WASTED FUZZ EXCESSIVE a lot, then silence ... BLACK SHEEP came and went, and suddenly it's here. Why the hold-up? One track - an enormous behemoth of a steaming soul riff - needed a brass arrangement. This took a fucking age. It kept getting cancelled. It kept getting cancelled again. Anyway, it's suddenly here. WASTED FUZZ EXCESSIVE. Utterly balls to the wall, lyrically bananas but full of such oomph, such Mr E-driven acceleration that - despite its full-metal leanings - the Donor of 2009CE remains entirely itself.

The CD will appear on the Merchandiser imminently.

We are very disappointed to announce the cancellation of Julian's Royal Festival Hall show on 18th November 2008CE.

Unfortunately, Julian has been very ill for the past ten days with a severe throat infection and he was today advised by his doctor that his throat must be rested for at least another week. Due to the intricate nature of the planned 3-hour show, which involved strings and a large 10-piece musical ensemble, the difficult decision has been taken to cancel rather than postpone the performance, as the scheduling conflicts of those involved has made it impossible to secure an alternative date.

Julian is devastated by these events and passes on his most sincere apologies.

Julian will be doing a reading/talk at the Literature/Music Crossing Border Festival in Den Haag, Netherlands, on Friday 21 November.
