Outsider In – Bohman and Paolini
Adam Bohman and Patrizia Paolini arrived on the dot of 8:30 to assemble their extensive array of musical apparatus in the Resonance studios in Borough High St.
Adam admitted it was not as extensive as usual, nonetheless they were upbeat about the performance.
Adam handed me a couple of sheets of A4 carefully laid out with his usual capitalised black biro – work of art in its own right. This so much reminded me of Wesley Willis’s handwriting…
Among the instruments; Crawford Cream Crackers and Ryvita (plain) biscuits. These were to be bowed, plucked and Patrizia presented us with a little rubber vibrator. She said she got it from an old man who used it for his therapy, after he had a stroke. The vibrator rattles against the Ryvita with a satisfying burrrr sound.
The hour begins with 2 extracts from a cassette tape Adam made for me (with artwork) – Luis De Pablo (extract) then we hear “The Laboratory Has Been Locked For Three Hours Solid” from Naked Lunch, read by William Burroughs.
Then:
PART A.
=======
IN THE FIRST HALF THE DUO’S MATERIAL WILL INCLUDE READINGS FROM THE METROPOLITAN POLICE LEAFLETS, GENERAL TALK ABOUT THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES, COMMENTS ON THE RECENT SOMEWHAT INCLEMENT WEATHER, A BITING SATIRICAL SWIPE AT FOXES GLACIER MINTS, A TEXT PIECE , USING AS ONE OF ITS SOUND SOURCES AN AMERICAN PAMPHLET OF CHICKEN DISEASES AND TWO IMPROVISATIONS WITH PREPARED STRINGS , OBJECTS AND TOYS.
Interlude
———
From “An evening with Larry Fischer”
Why I Am Normal
Are You From Clovis
Larry “Wild Man” Fischer died on 16th June 2011, we remember him in these 2 tracks.
PART B.
=======
THIS SECOND HALF KICKS OFF WITH MORE INTIMATE DETAILS OF THE DUO’S DAY TO DAY LIVES. THEN WHAT FOLLOWS INCLUDES VARIOUS TEXT PIECES AND IMPROVISATIONS. ONE OF THE FORMER IS BASED ON LEWISHAM COUNCIL LEAFLET ADDRESSED TO DOG OWNERS IN THE BOROUGH.
IN THIS PIECE I’M BEING ALLOWED TO JOIN THE DUO AS AN ADDITIONAL VOICE. SO IN EFFECT IT THEN BE A TRIO, AND DEFINITELY NOT A DUO. THE SET ENDS WITH ANOTHER PIECE USING WINE GLASSES, AND OTHER LARGELY PITCHED SOUNDS.
THE DUO HAS GIVEN ME ADVANCED PERMISSION TO MAKE A FEW SOUNDS IN THIS FINAL PIECE AS WELL. AS YET THE NATURE OF THESE SOUNDS HAS NOT BEEN DIVULGED TO ME.

Six Pillars – Iran’s Godfather of Psyche
Back from the Brink – An Audio Portrait
Kouroush Yaghmaie brought psyche music to Iran. He lived his music from his teens to adulthood until banned from singing, he was forced to produce children’s songs under a pseudonym for 19 years. His new album ‘Back from the Brink’ comes as a double CD and book, the extensive and detailed text by Kouroush Yaghmaie himself. In it Yaghmaie describes how he used his guitar to sound like a sitar, how his fellow musicians fell out of performing and heartbreakingly, lost the gift of music. Six Pillars has created a bespoke audio piece with a voice narrating over the songs the words of the man who for so long could not speak out. First broadcast in May 2012.

Hello GoodBye Show 26 May 2012: Extradition Order and Niall Spooner Harvey
Warrington born London based anti-folk troubadors Extradition Order provide the live music on the show today while poet Niall Spooner Harvey provides the proes.
Built with an equal love of Benjamin Britten and Mark E Smith, Extradition Order like to tell dark stories in a wild way. However, it was a chance meeting between the singer of Extradition Order, aged 8, and Jerry Lee Lewis that formed the idea that failure comes to us all but rock and roll is the glorious revenge. And revenge solves everything.
Their new 12? vinyl release is split into two EPs “Our Thoughts on Failure” documenting the realisation that you’re just not going to be everything you wanted to be, and “Our Thoughts on Revenge” which talks of the steady, silent anger that results.

Hooting Yard: Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning Pt. III
Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning was published in an edition of twenty-five copies in 1994, under the Hooting Yard Press imprint and – save for a brief, rewritten, extract posted here some years ago – has never again seen the light of day. It was the last piece of prose I completed before my descent into the maelstrom, or the Wilderness Years, or whatever one wants to call that period of ruination from which I eventually emerged with the launch of the Hooting Yard website in 2003.
F. Key.
This episode was recorded on the 01st September 2011. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website. Accompanying Hooting Yard On The Air, the six publications We Were Puny, They Were Vapid, Gravitas, Punctilio, Rectitude & Pippy Bags, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars, Befuddled By Cormorants , Inpugned By A Peasant And Other Storiesand Porpoises Rescue Dick Van Dyke are available for purchase
