learning to cope with celebrity
With everyone from DJ /Rupture to All Tomorrow’s Parties linking to my Mark Stewart & The Maffia piece, I thought I’d better remove some of the more serious errors from it.
See also tackhead.com for an overview of recent and forthcoming Maffia activity and K-Punk with details of a Resonance FM special on Monday.
geez, i had no idea that was you, John…read it about three weeks ago…lurvly
can u believe i missed these folks the first time around…weird, considering those were the days when i was first becoming a serious music fanatic/geek…i was seriously into TackHead, too…never heard of this lot, though, until i read about em on K-Punk…better late than never, i guess…mustve had my head shoved up the arse of a Jesus and Mary Chain record at the time to have missed out back in the day
I dunno, the On-U sound pantheon was pretty enormous back then, so easy to miss out on stuff… good to catch up later!
a spent force, Mark Stewart, surely?
the last decent thing he did was in 87
that new track thats linked via the tackhead site is a self-parody almost
sigh
Well he’s only really done one proper LP since 87, and I liked some of the tracks on the a lot (Dream Kitchen, for example). I was underwhelmed by the recent new track on the on-u sampler, but the collaborations with Kevin Martin should be great, I reckon. Plus I have no doubt he’ll continue to be amazing live…
he’s a bloody legend innit. you know he’s playing SE1 club with AFX and whitehouse right? heading down?
Yeah, I’ve got my ticket booked. See you in the bar while whitehouse are on
