THURSTON MOORE: Since the demise of Sonic Youth Thurston has moved to London and thrown himself into the city’s fevered music underground. Local/global. Makes sense. Tonight he will be performing songs with guitarist JAMES SEDWARDS, currently one of Moore’s closest collaborators and deep with it. Here’s a clip of them getting all site-specific performance like:

ALBERT NEWTON is a long term project of John Edwards (double bass), Pat Thomas (keyboards) and Charles Hayward (drums). Sudden change of direction, spin on a fivepence, pirouette like emergency response team, iron grip, sumo wrestling on speed, we don’t know the result yet, like football. Albert Newton played for 12 years as a quartet with Harry Beckett on trumpet and flugelhorn. At Harry’s memorial benefit, as the last notes faded, John remarked that they had to keep playing this music and so Harry’s absence has thrown them into a new dynamic as a trio: the spirit lives on in the music.

HARMERGEDDON do their thing like nobody’s business. Their thing accesses dreamtime via the off cast, the disembowelled VHS cassette, the bar code check out, the L.E.D. and photosensitivity. Think cavemen, Fred and Wilma, for example.
