I'm in for the Love Missile F1-11 cover

Bowie Box Set collectors and mortgage advisors everywhere will be thrilled to hear that Bowie Box 6 "I Can't Give Everything Away" has been announced. It's Heathen to Blackstar plus assorted bits and bobs, 13x CD or 18x vinyl (price tba). The bit you probably won't have is a full Live At Montreux 2002 which features the usual set from the time plus almost all of Low as an encore (Weeping Wall inexplicably skipped) https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2025/7/8/david-bowie-6-i-cant-give-everything-away-2002-2016-press-release

Love that white F Bass

I remember seeing them at the Garage in the mid 2000s. At one point I was surprised to see Jeff Beck squeeze past in the audience

Still on fire, and Doug Wimbish is a monster Setlist is Cult of Personality, Pride, Love Rears Its Ugly Head, Time's Up, Solace of You

Just had an announcement for this pop up via the usual channels: https://wegottickets.com/event/666789 Resolution 88 at the Courtyard Theatre and Studios on November 20th (probably a London Jazz Fest thing) - confirmed on their bandcamp https://resolution88.bandcamp.com/ Never heard of the Courtyard before, turns out it's about two minutes walk from my office!

Yeah, they're great aren't they. I've seen them once before and had a chat with the bassist, who I recall as a super nice chap. Turns out, having consulted the history books, that gig was a support slot for Medeski Martin & Wood at Under the Bridge in April 2014! Where does time go. Must check them out again.

Bit dusty in here all of a sudden.

I'm sure the BC massive can help fulfil this requirement I've just seen on the socials "FEMALE DOUBLE BASSISTS: looking for 7 female double Bassist. Paid gig. 7th August 2025 as part of London Open Call at Whitechapel Gallery. Rehearsal 5th Aug Performance 7th Aug This is a minimalist and durational performance art piece where the double Bassists are required to play 1 note continuously for 40/50min. Please get in touch xxx https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/exhibitions/london-open-live-mahsa-salali-the-call/" I'd 100% be up for that if I fit the spec better Also, not sure if it's pizz or arco (nb link contains slight nudity)

Yeah but only because Camel and Van der Graaf are there as well

I'd definitely have paid £7 to see Brand X and 801 on the same weekend (and it was one of the only three gigs 801 did) weather was appalling though, so I'd have to be beamed in by time machine bubble then magicked away again

What a great turnaround from Janek and IMA. btw everyone should go see this on Saturday night https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/baba-yagas-hut-kenji-hyakkei/ - just round the corner from the Vortex. And this is on at the Vortex Sunday evening https://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/events/2024-06-01/ and a free jam session downstairs at the Vortex same evening https://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/event/vortex-jam-session-4-2025-03-30-2025-04-13-2025-04-20-2025-04-27-2025-05-18/2025-06-01/ (I might cancel my holiday for all this now...)

Great idea. Likewise no skin in the game here, I've always been booked on holiday for June 1st. A central London bass bash would be great - take in Bass Gallery, see how many basschatters can fit in the Wunjo basement, pub crawl around all the Bass Brewery pubs etc
