Design, The Devil And Drugs
July 15, 2004

Interesting online home of Steve Albini's studio at electrical audio. Complete with breakdown of equipment, booking rates and a forum. You can get in touch with artists that have used the place [in Chicago] and a whole heap more... Cool place to visit, if only virtually! via kempa

There is another production of The Master & Margarita on, nearer to home for me this time but I don't think I'll make it as it's only on for another couple of weeks, so a trip to Chichester could still be on the cards. Chichester was the location of the Court Case following the Rolling Stones Redlands Drug Bust in the 60's, with the alleged Mars Bar/Marianne incident! Which is to be made into a film apparently, called "A Butterfly On A Wheel" starring Nigel Havers, whose father [OK, this seems less weird now!] was a key player in an episode that famously led The Times to ask, in Alexander Pope's words, "Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?".

The Bulgakov novel was supposedly the inspiration for the lyrics to the Stones "Sympathy For The Devil" which features in the 1968 Jean-Luc Godard movie, One Plus One.

What I will get to though is the Saul Bass exhibit at the Design Museum... also check out the Tribute site for Prints, movie posters and graphic design work, stills and clips from opening sequences. Many from from Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Scorsese* movies. There is also a timeline of Bass's work covering the 50's to the 90's as well as a biography of his life and work.

There may also be some of his work at the Penguin Bookjacket Archive, I don't know I haven't had time to look through it yet.

*Scorsese is the voice of "Sykes the Pufferfish" in his new animated Mafia Movie, Shark Tale!!!
