Been looking(web) just now for an old Rodchenko photo of a lone cyclist crossing a Russian Square taken from above .. Have a poem i set next to it lost somewhere. great bike photo.. Mayakovsky is in the poem and shows up in all the searches too ... Sadly canna' remember the words of my poem...
Here is Mayakovsky:

VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY (1893-1930)

Mayakovsky
from “I”

1.

On pavement stones
Of my trampled soul
Steps of madmen
Plait soles of harsh words.
Where the cities
Are hung
And in a cloud noose
Stilled
Crooked turrets
Of towers
I walk
alone sobbing
that on the crossroads
are crucified the tsar's cops.

He has his own channel on Youtube (www.youtube.com...). My partner particularly enjoyed of his rendition of How Deep Is Your Love (youtu.be...).

He also has some songs in his native Thai, which have slightly less camp value. Slightly.

The Primitives. There's a name that brings back memories. As I recall, I was on the road with Wallace Winter (Johnny and Edgar's adopted brother) who was doing a series of UK dates backing up Timex Social Club. The Primitives joined up with us in Coventry for the middle leg of the tour. Wallace (a great bassist who was transitioning to the Chapman Stick at that time, and was definitely struggling with its complexity) opened up these shows, usually with an extended solo that often alienated the crowd. Eventually I would wander onstage to join him, playing piccolo trombone as Wallace had requested. A piccolo trombone is not easy to play with it’s extremely small mouthpiece and 6-inch slide. Between Wallace’s errant fingerings on his Chapman Stick and my tortured squeaks on the piccolo trombone, the Coventry crowd was having none of it. As I recall, it wasn’t long before we were pelted with hard candy, small rocks, etc.; whatever the quickly thinning crowd could get their hands on.

The Primitives went on after us. Coventry being their hometown, they went over quite well. We could hear the fans cheering wildly as we sat dejected in our tiny dressing room. Timex Social Club were no fans of Wallace and tried to have us booted off the tour, but contractually we were safe and they could do nothing to have us removed, and so we soldiered on, getting boo’ed off every stage we graced, but believing in our hearts we were making art, and that art was not always understood.

Soon enough, The Primitives were tired of us too, and demanded that we be thrown off the bill. This lead to an unsavory confrontation on the midway of a small carnival in Burford where Tracy Tracy of The Primitives slapped Wallace and caused him to fall in the mud. Many onlookers pointed and laughed, something that continues to haunt Wallace to this day. Many feel it was this incident that caused him to cancel our participation in the tour and give up music altogether.

Fortunately, Eugene Chadbourne asked me to join his hendectet as a piccolo trombonist. As I recall, we did a short tour of South Korea before he grew tired of piccolo trombone sound and asked me to fly home. Despite my protestations and promises to switch to my Gemeinhardt standard trombone it was not enough. Dejected, I caught a midnight flight back to Atlanta from Pousan. The longest flight if my life. 30 hours. No peanuts, no coke. Just an old, angry steward with halitosis. A musician’s life is tough. Back in Atlanta, I hooked up with Wet Willy for a short tour of Natchez Trace watering holes. I never encountered The Primitives or Timex Social Club again, nor do I hope to.

Alexi Murdoch (prob Scottish?) had albums out 20 years ago, not sure when this is from. I remember his "Orange Sky" from a "hit" commercial 16 years ago, the only track in my iTunes from him. This is quite good, I'll explore his other albums.
