An alternative triad of that most moving triptych "O Caroline / Instant pussy / Signed curtain" which so brilliantly opens Matching Mole's untitled first lp (CBS 1972), with Robert Wyatt writing and singing one of the most beautiful and (deceivingly) simple songs of heartbreak in history - ultimately meta. Plus the previously unreleased "Horse" (1972-01), all off Esoteric's "Matching Mole (Expanded Edition)" 2cd (ECLEC 22311, 2012) … Do rush out and buy it, if only for the long (lp) version of "O Caroline". Hey and more on Matching Mole in the previous post!

John Olson (unrelated to Peggy) was a war photographer in Vietnam, first and foremost. He took these photographs for Life Magazine in 1971. They kinda remind me of Hannes Schmid's work ...

After yesterday's stupendous Toussaint / Ribot concert, here's some more New Orleans … Three Dave Bartholomew produced tracks off "The Big Beat - The Dave Bartholomew Songbook" (Ace CDCHD 1303, 2011) and one Dave Bartholomew original off "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues - Good Rockin' Tonight" (2004, Saga Blues #18). The picture above is by the fine New York music photographer Jacob Blickenstaff. Source: http://www.3313photo.com/2011/07/dave-bartholomew-cosimo-matassa-portrait/

"'Euro-Vision' […] has in fact become known as one of the landmarks of Eurovision, as it was the first entry ever to mention the Contest by name as part of what is generally agreed to have been a send-up of the whole event" + "The Eurovision audience seemed unsure how to react to the performance, and after the band stopped playing, there was mostly stunned silence, with scattered polite applause; Michel Moers took a photograph of the bewildered audience. The band walked off amid sounds of muttering." Dixit Wikipedia-the-Free-Encyclopedia. But our quiz question reads: what's the name of Telex' master choreographer?
