Services bernie connor presents 'the sound of music' episode eleven: we mean it, maaaaan!
Written by Defnet Media
there were technical problems, fuckin' big technical problems. in the back of the cab, flying at high speed, the weezle began to prod me. it stunned me out of me lovely, deranged moment, i was the count of monte cristo, spoon in hand desperately digging from tokyo to liverpool. once we had checked in we decided to investigate the local culture, dead fish, ankle socks, expensive imports. this man, him said "we don't have what you need, look somewhere else." the pair of us, eyes like saucers, heads like teacups found solace in the bassline from 96 tears, it was pumping out of the door of a car occupied by the smallest beautiful woman on earth. she uttered something to me, i ignored her, i was dazzled by her beauty. she shouted at the weezle, in japanese she said "you loooking in the wrong place, what you need is not here. leads and things. get your shit together, man." as the early stages of extreme hunger began to set in i was reminded of the dead fish. and something ghastly we'd seen in a window in kuala lumpur.

bernie connor presents 'the sound of music' episode ten: nil satis nisi optimum
Written by Defnet Media 
in the mad rush to get this week's show recorded and thus the more challenging job of actually getting into your minds, i forgot to mention the fa cup final. it's fourteen years since everton were last in a final and since then the nature of the game has changed so much. the fa cup in itself is contantly being held-up, scrutinised and shown to have been devalued by those with an interest in more lucrative matters.

Bernie Connor presents the dreadnought of chicanery

know....................................ut!
as i write, the toaster has blown up.
when i was 14 i loved 10cc. and the who. odd choices.
click, clack. click, click, click. clack. click clack.
i have on ocassions relaxed in the safety of my own delusions.
after years of analysis by people only marginally more intelligent than myself it has been decided in a rather arbitrary way that 'i saw her standing there' by the beatles IS the best track one, side one ever. think about it.
i'm not quite me dad but technology has me on the ropes at times. the last seven days have been a challenge, to be honest. it freaks the living shit out of me when things don't work, being me there's only so many things i can do. once i get past the overwhelming desire to curl up into a ball and cry, my next port of call is to break whatever it is that isn't doing what it should be. in the case of my computer, it's an expensive piece of digital hardware that people other than meself rely on, so that's out of the question.

bernie connor presents the sound of music. episode eight: two separate gorillas
Written by Defnet Media 
i have on occasion known to be wrong, i know you might find that hard to believe but it does show that i am human and feel the same things as you mere mortals. again, apparently the specials are the hottest ticket in town, they are not as i said a bunch of fiftysomething geezers shuffling around the stage like trenchfoot victims. they are instead spritely fortysomethings with all the energy and zeal of an amphetamine convert. again, it just goes to show how wrong you can be.
i draw these conclusions based on what? and following a long train journey today this is the theory i came up with: watching musicians from my youth perform their greatest hits for oodles of cash irks me because it reminds me of my own mortality and how utterly short a time we have on the carpet that flows beneath us. because we only have a finite amount of time and space in which to coloour our canvas accordingly you must tirelessly strive for new experiences and watching the heroes of your youth whoring themselves in middle-age is counter to this untried and not b=very well thought through point of view. or something.

bernie connor presents 'the sound of music' episode six: pull the wool over your own eyes.
Written by Defnet Media
one of the things that irks me, you and everybody we know is the way culturally important things get hijacked by those who weren't there and feel the urge to illuminate themselves in a much brighter light. in the last year or so some class one bollocks has been written and said about the liverpool nightclub eric's, a sewer infested cellar that itself shone with all the energy of a 40 watt bulb in the late 70's

Written by Defnet Media
Maggie Hambling is interviewed here about her current exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery - George Always.
She descibes George as "Lusche" - not the correct spelling. This is a great interview just to hear Maggie talk so passionately about someone she loved so much - a man sorely missed but who she has captured on canvas many times. Stick with the interview as it just gets better and better.
