Joe O'Connor VO as Homer Simpson - in a tribute to THE EVE OF THE WAR

Brian Bilston's 2022 poem about Elon Musk, shortly after the billionaire acquired Twitter. On first reading I couldn't help but "hear" the renowned performance poet John Cooper Clarke adding his distinctive energy to a reading of it.

Here's my take on what that might sound like.

Joe O'Connor VO - "Sweet Boy" (Mary Epworth) as if performed by Johnny Cash

Released 8th Sept 2017 on Lex Records DL/CD/Ltd Blood Red LP

Two years in the making, Tara Busch and Maf Lewis collaborated with John Foxx & The Maths/Wrangler's Benge Edwards to create an authentic period (mid-80s available equipment only) extended score/concept album around their successfully toured (US and Europe) live score/film of the same name (directed by Maf).

I may be slightly biased, but this is a truly stunning and original album and I couldn't have been more excited to have been asked to play fictional 80s newscaster Brock Horton for the project. 

This audio clip is from the actual movie soundtrack, appearing in a slightly different form on the album (also featuring the voice of Tara Busch as Jane Swell).

Be kind to your ears. You can order from Lex directly, or from Amazon, Rough Trade etc.
