@salfordelectron @robinrimbaud I guess you could say that he *ahem* lost his head a little..?

Few people know that JFK was one of the earliest and most innovative experimental noise artists in the USA.

@maggiecsiebert Thank you Maggie!

@astralsocialite @ThrobbingGrstle @salfordelectron ..plus "Thee Psychick Sacrifice"

@astralsocialite @ThrobbingGrstle @salfordelectron This one and "Journey through a body" are probably my favourites

@richo_johnson @AmpSulphate Just chalk it up to "clean livin' & vitamin pills".. ;-)

@AmpSulphate @JFK_AX Could swear Anthony has looked exactly the same since I first met him in the late '80s. Exactly the same even last November! It's like he reached a certain point in life and just got snagged there!

Japan, 2013

@AmpSulphate Yes, and as a widower with 3 kids you can imagine why Ballard would consider the commercial viability of his own work... a matter of survival

@JFK_AX JGB makes a great point though. You can be experimental and entertain readers, and not just be doctrinaire about it.

B.S. Johnson. Probably still not read enough. Recommended starting point: Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry

@AmpSulphate Don't think I've seen that particular quote but will take your word for it dear boy :-)

@JFK_AX Ballard? Well, he did espouse machine-gunning the oiks!

The latest HELM show on @NTSlive includes a JFK track from the "Tape Archives" LP on @LIES_News - listen here: nts.live/shows/helm/epi…

@MitchellMaiato The drum sound on Presence is phenomenal. It's a go-to CD in the car.

It's not a popular opinion, but Presence is my joint fave Zep album (alongside Physical Graffiti). I also seem to exclusively listen to it on Sundays.
