LUCY JONES has made a very special poster for 50th show anniversary PARTY!

which is co-hosted by LAMB AND WOLF. This is a scan of one of them. The originals feature 5 layers of printing and two different printing methods. They are truly amazing and beautiful and we are grateful indeed.

Here is the most recent video we could find of NISENNENMONDAI, who are one of the most amazing bands we've ever seen

& one from the show at the Deaf Institute last year. It's the first song of the set and  kind of only begins  about two minutes into the video so maybe skip it on a bit.

We've somehow managed to never see Marnie Stern before (we were dj-ing in an adjoining room when she played at futuresonic) and we are so excited to see her this time around as you should be too. Here's her new video:

Both Marnie Stern and Nisennenmondai have raised the bar for virtuoso everywhere by proving that you can show your skills in an envelope-pushing, jaw-dropping way without compromising POP sensibilities or Danceability; That you can make ENJOYABLE music that is also serious and rewarding and visceral.

 We are also beyond excited to announce the first ever Veronica Falls show in Manchester too!  You can download or listen to  'Found Love In A Graveyard' HERE.

 And see a triptych photograph of them right here. 

As well as these three, Mazes and Tartufi are also playing and there will be dj's and Barbecue and it only costs £8 HERE

We urge you to buy tickets in advance as capacity is limited and it will cost more on the night

A Recipe, a reminder and some amazing records

Tonight we ate three different salads for the third consecutive night. This means it is summer and it is hot in the kitchen. The veg box from DIG did not really work out, we are thinking maybe about 'Limited Resources' instead. Last night we had Chargrilled courgettes, aubergine and haloumi with roasted baby tomatoes, couscous with dried apricots and pistachio and a cucumber and poppy seed salad which were all Ottolenghi or Ottolenghi-inspired. Tonight we had a white tuna salad, a grated carrot salad with french dressing and a classic tomato & avocado number.The next night we ate whale the next night we ate whale the next night we ate whale. The recipe below was learned from Inigo Ugarteburu and Ana. Inigo plays with Cafe Teatro and carcascara. You can buy their records from TALO records along with one by Atanas Arkestra. All three are amazing and housed in beautiful hand-made sleeves. There are only 125 copies of each. We're going to try and buy some to re-sell from here, at which point we'll write more about them.
Oh, and also the hardest to find and one of the most hard hitting Simon Joyner records entitled 'The Cowardly Traveller Pays His Toll' has been re-issued by Team Love. This is the record that made history when John Peel (R.I.P) played it in its entirety on his radio show. It is worthy of that high honour and then some. Also, we have some of the last remaining original-issue Simon Joyner LP's for sale. I think we have some 'Heaven's Gate', 'Songs for the New Year and maybe one ' Yesterday, Tomorrow & In-Between'. Email comfortableonatightrope@yahoo.co.uk if you're interested. They will be cheaper than ebay and plus all of the money will go to Mr. Joyner.

WHITE TUNA SALAD
preparation time 20 minutes
Ingredients (optional if *)
Dressing
A glug of good and spicy spanish or portuguese olive oil
One tea-spoon/ a pinch of Sweet, Spanish Smoked Paprika (Perry/Laetitia)
Couple shallots or one french white onion or a light red onion (very finely chopped)
A handful of olives (very finely chopped)
The juice of two lemons
A clove of garlic*
Sea Salt & Black Pepper
Some Fresh herbs (basil, baby thyme, parsley, coriander, whatever)*
Salad
Mixed salad leaves (a bowl full)
One jar or tin Spanish White Tuna in oil (if you can't find that you can use yellowfin, but it is worth the effort to find)
One or two sweet peppers
A handful of cherry or baby-plum tomatoes*
Some really good stale bread, roughly torn into bite-sized bits (this is the star of the show, do not leave it out, it absorbs all of the dressing and makes a meal of the whole thing)

Mix the dressing and and then add to the tuna and leaves. Finally add the bread and, gently, scrunch it all together (is it possible to 'scrunch' gently. Eat with Friends.

Then come and watch NISENNENMONDAI at the deaf institute. Golden Lab will be providing you with your second oppurtunity to buy their amazing zine 'BREAD' and you will have one of the first oppurtunities to pick up 'The Rookie Files' which is a new zine of interviews which are both radical and nice.

DAVID BAILEY HAS MADE A POSTER FOR THE NISENNENMONDAI SHOW WEDNESDAY 30TH JULY DEAF INSTITUTE MANCHESTER

& it is amazing.The last time we promoted a show with Golden Lab and Dave made a poster was about a year ago when MIKA MIKO & NO AGE rocked the boat at cafe saki. There was crowd surfing and an actual circle pit. We expect nothing less than total hysteria when NISENNENMONDAI take the stage in a couple of weeks. This is hands-down the most exciting gig for a time. NISENNENMONDAI are from Tokyo and channel radical elements of No-wave era NY-NOISE, psychedelic rock, free noise and techno summoned forth by three women who play the humble rock instruments of bass/guitar/drums. A holy trinity of sorts NISENNENMONDAI are from the future. Go there now.

THE REALEST VOL II ISSUE I

is being made right now. Contrary to earlier reports it is to contain drawings of BLACK MOUNTAIN college alumni 1933-1957 by Lucy Jones. It is Beautiful. It will be available to buy soon. Very soon. Check back. Also we have a show to promote: NISENNENMONDAI AT THE DEAF INSTITUTE WEDNESDAY 30TH JULY. BELIEVE. THIS WILL BE AMAZING.
Before then check out the launch party of BREAD, a magazine and compilation cd from Golden Lab. It will be a special night of music, poetry, readings and reading.
