RANDOM ECHOES - 23/9/05

History edit:
infamous Dylan performance from 1966 Manchester Free Trade Hall as item on the radio this morning - the 'Judas' moment of course - but the programmers edit out Dylan's 'Play fucking loud' that he calls to the band a split second before they break into 'Like A Rolling Stone'. Wierd to hear it censored in this way, it's an integral part of that version of the song, an extra lyric almost. As if to make up for this edit Dylan's 1966 face - wild wire hair, shades - is plastered on the front of magazines on a booth in Farringdon station.

Look up the work of photographer Raymond Moore some time. You might like him.

From a train: the identical interior shells of 3 new condominiums, all pale blue, each with fixtures and fittings in exactly the same place. Seen at speed from the train it feels as if we are on a static loop, some flaw in time and motion. I quite enjoyed it at the time, though I wouldn't want to live there.
