Fri, 26 May 2006 Dancing Shoes on for... Poetry Please vote for my poem PG in the current competition of Slam Idol Ideas for the programme I'm kicking around a couple of ideas relating to specifically focussing on the process of creating / writing music or poetry. I'm looking at maybe producing an occasional special Homegrown Song Circle whereby we focus on 2 or three artists performing a couple of stripped down versions of songs. The other idea is for a small weekly spotlight on songwriting/music creation with an artist explaining a little about how a piece came to be. Both of these ideas need your contributions to work. If you an artist who has sent stuff into me or planning to send stuff and you have the ability to either record a short audio file about the writing process or drop down an explination in an e-mail then please do. Equally if you have acoustic versions of songs please send those. I will see what the response it like and keep you posted.Comments[6] |

Tue, 16 May 2006 Yours truely, a man many are now describing as "the one who plays the weird stuff" has just been featured on the one and only Slam Idol Podcast reading my poetry homage to Phillip Glass "PG" I'm apparently contestant no. 4 in contest 11. I'd like to say I'm thrilled to have made it this far, but there really was nothing to it, honestly, just an e-mail to Simon who hosts the podcast. If you haven't herd the Podcast yet please go and have a listen, it's well worth investigating. Pretty soon myself and 5 real poets will battle it out in a public vote type thing via the Slam Idol website. Even as you read this, I'm getting into shape and I expect you to do the same, at least with your finger that is, in readiness to leap forth, clicking frantically as you vote and rate not only my poem but the others in the contest. For that is how it works. I will let you know when you can vote. In the meantime go listen to Slam Idol.... Category: general -- posted at: 6:08 PM Comments[5] |
