Tosh and Kimley discuss THE HISTORY OF BONES: A MEMOIR by John
Lurie. Lurie is a multi-hyphenate talent:
musician-composer-actor-painter and now book-writer. Initially
making his mark as the bandleader for downtown New York group, The
Lounge Lizards, he quickly went on to establish himself as an actor
in several films. He created and starred in the enigmatic, must-see
TV show FISHING WITH JOHN and the more recent PAINTING WITH JOHN.
He’s toured the world, composed several film scores, and has even
done some modeling. And all along, he’s also managed to keep up a
serious painting practice. Is there anything this man can’t do?
Tosh and Kimley have some varying thoughts on this…

Tosh and Kimley are joined by special guest Andrea Tetrick to
discuss NINA SIMONE’S GUM by Warren Ellis. Warren Ellis is a
multi-instrumentalist and frequent collaborator with Nick Cave as
well as a member of The Bad Seeds and the trio Dirty Three among
other music projects. He now adds talented writer to his resume
with this new book which is part memoir but also an homage to art
and artists and their power to inspire and lift us up. When Ellis
takes Nina Simone’s gum from her piano after a transcendent
performance, it takes him on an epic adventure while he
contemplates the meaning and importance of these precious objects
that we carry with us.

Tosh and Kimley discuss UNSTRUNG: RANTS AND STORIES OF A NOISE
GUITARIST by Marc Ribot. Ribot first started making some serious
noise on the music scene in the 1980s adding incredible sounds to
records by the likes of Tom Waits and Elvis Costello as well as
being an integral member of the downtown New York music scene
playing with John Zorn, The Lounge Lizards and leading several
bands of his own with wildly varying styles. This is his first book
and it’s a mix of music writing and short fiction. Marc has a
wicked smart sense of humor and isn’t shy to talk about his strong
political leanings. And you can bet that he’ll crank it up to
11!

Tosh and Kimley discuss WHY MARIANNE FAITHFULL MATTERS by Tanya
Pearson. Marianne Faithfull is now entering her sixth decade of
pushing creative boundaries. She started in the 1960s as an icon of
the swinging London scene both as a singer and an actress. In 1979
in her early 30s (when that was considered over-the-hill), she
released her album BROKEN ENGLISH which is a visceral masterpiece.
And she’s continued to push herself creatively ever since with
eclectic collaborations from Metallica to Hal Willner to Jarvis
Cocker and just this year releasing an album of recited poetry with
music by Warren Ellis. Never one to rest on her laurels, we know
she’ll be breaking rules to the very end.

15.09.2021
1 Stunde 6 Minuten
Tosh and Kimley discuss COMMON TONES: SELECTED INTERVIEWS WITH
ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS 1995-2020 with author Alan Licht. Alan is a
musician and writer and his multidisciplinary approach to
creativity is just one of the many things that he has in common
with his subjects. The majority of his interviewees are active in
some combination of music, writing, film, and the visual arts.
There’s a creative perspective and aesthetic that flows through
this collection of interviews from well-known artists like Lou Reed
and Tom Verlaine to some of the key figures who influenced them
such as Tony Conrad and Henry Flynt. As a peer and someone who has
an enormous passion and respect for the artists he’s interviewing,
Alan has a unique knack for getting everyone to open up to him and
deliver a lively exchange.
