Hooting Yard: Hoof Print Advice

i. Remain lying in bed, quite still, staring at the ceiling. Try to recall any dreams you may have had while you were asleep. Did any hooved beasts, such as goats or horses, feature in these dreams? If so, they were probably not dreams at all, and thus you have a preliminary explanation for the hoofprints on your ceiling. Report this immediately to your local nocturnal hoofprint investigating officer.

This episode was recorded on the 4th November 2010. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website.

Wavelength – Hans Krusi

Track one from Hans Krusi; “While preparing a new edition of Anton Bruhin works, Alga Marghen discovered some mysterious tapes by Hans Krusi. Fascinated by the raw and brute contents of those sounds, mixing field recordings of insects, sheep and distant bells with primitive chanting, percussive noises and distorted radio folk songs, Alga Marghen started to conceive one of the most obscure editions in his catalog. The Swiss-born, self-taught painter Hans Krusi (1920-1995) was a wiry man who eked out an existence on the margins of society”. Brief introduction to the London Art Book Fair, with Richard Thomas and finally; track 26 from Modern Shit Will Make You Ill by Xentos Bentos and Lepke Buchwalter.

Hooting Yard: Book Reviews.

And hardly were the words out of his mouth than the impatient young hothead strode out of his chalet and down the mountainside to town, to buy a ream of sheet music paper and a biro. Crepusco settled back on the divan, by the oil heater, and devised a two-pronged strategy. The first prong was to ensure that, throughout his career, however long it turned out to be, he forbade Binder from ever writing another song. Were this prong to fail, as well it might, Crepusco reasoned that he could, long in the future, scribble a sneaky amendment to the date on the MS of the Five Last Songs, and forge parallel documentation if necessary, to confound the historians. This was his second prong. Well satisfied, he closed his eyes and dreamed the dreams of a dwarvish helpmeet, until Binder returned.

Comics County meeting, Brighton, Monday, 27th June

This month’s meeting we have three speakers for podcast representing two areas where cartoon art is being used for social good as well as entertainment.

Steve Silverwood and Laurence Stead are from Upside Comics – www.upsidecomics.org.uk – and they’ll be reporting on workshops they’ve recently held for the purpose of aiding literacy as well as spreading the word of the art form itself. Many cartoonists have been doing this work for a while (our trusty Dr Parsons and his www.crazycomicclub.co.uk for a start, not to mention all the other folks listed in www.cartoonclassroom.co.uk) and its future is under threat due to current cuts in schools and libraries, so reporting of practical results from such work is more needed than ever.

Hooting Yard: Take One Weasel….

I squelched across the marsh, in driving rain, and linnets sang within my brain. There were no linnets to be seen, just crows, drenched crows, drenched crows. I lit my pipe and sucked, and heard the caw of a drenched crow. The rain was pelting down as I made my slopping way from marsh to town. And in the town, no linnets, no, nor crows. Just shuttered kiosks and the stadium. An athlete threw his javelin in the air. I watched it soar then stab the sodden grass. I went to the canteen. An arty print of crows hung on the wall. I slurped a bowl of steaming warming broth, and then I caught a bus back to the marsh.
