This Is An Heart Attack

Everybody will remember the moment it happened. Where they were when they heard the news, what they were doing and who broke it to them. As you will be no doubt aware by now, Neil Buchanan has died of heart failure and the art world is in mourning. He revolutionized the genre. Forget Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and all the rest of the turtles, Neil Buchanan was the Splinter of his trade, the finest drawer since the Ikea Galant. Neil takes to the grave a multitude of trade secrets – how did he manage to do his Big Art Attacks ? how was someone so aesthetically talented unable to paint over that hideous mole on his face? And why did he have that handicap-with-a-ice-lolly expression on him throughout the whole show?

Neil - you will be in our thought and prayers. As a tribute to the great man, I have crafted a mix out of paper mache, pritt stick and a few tunes. I know Neil would have loved it:

The Tube: Night In NYC



Can't say I've ever wanted to spend a night out with Jools Holland or Leslie Ash, but this video has got me thinking otherwise.

Taken from a Tube Special in 1983, they are taken around 3 of the big NYC clubs Danceteria, Roxy and Paradise Garage, before the cabaret licenses came into force.

Some quality interview footage of the Peech Boys, Arthur Baker and Quando Quango too.
