Finally, my Best Shows/Music Photos of 2013. Top 30. Might seem a little late but I don’t believe in doing lists until the year is over!

Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
You have a heart and I have a key
Lie back and let me unlock you
Those heathens you hang with down by the sea
All they want to do is defrock you
I know a river, where we can dream
It will swell up, burst it's banks,
babe, and rock you
But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
But I'm glad you've come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten
And beating like a drum
I will sit like a bird on a fence
Sing you songs with a happy ending
Swoop down and tell you that it don't make sense
To attack the very thing you're defending
Didn't I just buy that dress for you?
That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending
Well, if you're gonna dine with the cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
But I'm glad you've come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is banging and beating
And banging like a gong
I can see that they've hurt you, dear
Here is some moonlight to cloak us
And I will never desert you here
Unpetaled among the crocus
Allow me, my love, to allay your fear
As I swim, in and out of focus
But if you're gonna dine with the cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten
But I'm glad you've come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is bruised but bleating
And bleeding like a lamb
Banging like a gong
Beating like a drum

www.youtube.com/watch?v=th4qPRNh-58 - for the song - I couldnt find a decent quality actual video clip for it - this is a live recording. Pretty good!
Why's he holding a round thing? Well. It's a cog. Well ok it's not. But it's similar to a cog. Ok, well, it's not that either. But its the tought that counts. And its symbolism. Or something like that. Shhhh.
Cant really tell at normal size, but I also changed the colour slightly of the shadow the lightsaber casts in hope that it looks more like something it might actually cast.. I didn't have a real one to test my theory with :P
Just been playing a few old albums, which turned into a bit of a Rowland Howard fest. And maybe his voice wasn't always the greatest, but to me his distinctive style always marked him out as being one of my favourite ever guitarists.
After just releasing a new album, he sadly passed away almost unnoticed by the press on Dec 30th after a long battle with liver cancer. He was aged just 50.
RIP Rowland S Howard. - you will be missed

I was walking down the street on a nice sunny day in Prague, in a good mood, minding my own business, when all of a sudden a very familiar face came into my line of vision directly opposite of me. We both did a double-take and instantly recognized one another! It was Phil Shoenfelt, former frontman of the New York band Khmer Rouge, who I thought I had left for dead who I thought I had left for dead back in New York. The last time I had seen Phil was back in the ol ´80s in New York. He was with his then wife Marcia and they were both major junkies. I can remember the sight of them holding onto one another for support, looking a bit green around the gills, coming out of some seedy hotel and approaching me asking for some money. They made Sid and Nancy look like amateurs. I told them the old story about being broke and shuffled away. I had not seen either of them since that time. At the time, I thought that they would not last much longer in this world and did my best to forget. I was in shock to see a somewhat healthy looking Phil standing in front of me. I was then pleasantly surprised to find out that Phil was happily married to a Czech woman, played in several bands in Prague and Berlin and wrote several books that were published.
Phil and I are now very good friends once again. I went to see his bands and were inspired by both. In fact I was so inspired, I have been making a documentary film about his Berlin based band Fatal Shore for three years now. I am in the process of going through all of the footage on tapes for editing. I have over 50 tapes, which means over 50 hours of looking for the best bits for editing. My eyes are tired, but I am looking forward to completing this film. It was because of meeting Phil on that fateful day in Prague I got to know so many inspiring people. I hope to do justice with the Fatal Shore film for Phil, Chris Hughes and in respect and Honor for the incredibly talented Bruno Adams, who passed away in 2009. I filmed Phil´s band and interviewed him for Richard Lowenstein´s documentary about Rowland S. Howard. I would write Phil´s bio information, (I always do the writing about people, but I make an exception in this case) but fussy Phil would find some objection to it I am sure, so I will let write Phil Shoenfelt introduce himself in his own words.
Phil Shoenfelt is an English musician/singer/songwriter/author who has lived in Prague since 1995. He is a veteran of the UK and New York punk and post-punk scenes, and during the early 1980’s was the front man and principle songwriter for the New York-based band Khmer Rouge. In the five years the band was together, Khmer Rouge was a favorite on the NY club scene, and toured in the USA supporting such acts as The Clash, Tom Verlaine, Alan Vega, Nico and Billy Idol. Returning to the UK in 1984, the band did two UK tours with The Fall before finally splitting in 1986.
Phil then began his solo career. His first single was released on Mark E. Smith’s Cog Sinister label in 1989. A support slot with The Fall followed, as well as several concerts supporting Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds on UK tours in 1990 and 1991. Two solo CDs were released on UK independent labels in 1990 and 1993. After a Czech tour in 1994, Phil decided to move to Prague on a full time basis. Since moving here, he has recorded several more CDs, both with his Prague-based band PHIL SHOENFELT & SOUTHERN CROSS and with the Berlin-based Australian band FATAL SHORE. Although Fatal Shore ended with the death in 2009 of founder member Bruno Adams, Phil continues to play regularly with Southern Cross at venues across Europe. To date, he has had a total of 13 CDs of his music released on various labels in the UK, USA, Czech Republic, Germany and Greece. The latest is Golden Vanity, a collaboration with the late Nikki Sudden, which was released in 2009 on the UK label Easy Action. At the moment Phil is mixing the new PS & Southern Cross CD, which will be released in October 2010 by Easy Action.
As well as these musical activities, Phil has had two books published to date: Junkie Love (a fictionalized autobiography) and The Green Hotel (poetry and song lyrics). Junkie Love was first published in Czech translation in 1997 (as Feťácká Láska) by Maťa Books of Prague, and has become something of a cult book for young Czech readers. The book was published for the first time in English in 2001 by Twisted Spoon Press, and went on to win the Firecracker Alternative Book Award (NYC, 2002) for best book in the Drugs Books section. Since then it has it has been translated and published in Italian by Fazi Editions of Rome. A Greek translation is being prepared for publication by Electra Books of Athens, and an extract has appeared in Erotika – Drogen und Sexualitat by German philosopher Wolfgang Sterneck. In 2006 Junkie Love was licensed to Ebury Press/Random House for UK and Commonwealth distribution, and this new edition was published in July 2007. Phil’s writing has also appeared in literary magazines such as Gargoyle (USA/UK), Garageland(UK), the Prague Literary Review, Optimism (Czech Republic), Hele (Czech Republic), Blatt (Czech Republic), Apple Of The Eye, (Greece), Morgana (Germany) and Vlna (Slovakia). He is also included in the The Return of Král Majeles, a recently published anthology of post 1989 Prague writing put together by the Philosophic Faculty of Charles University. At the moment Phil is working on a new book (Stripped), an autobiographical novel set in downtown New York in the years 1979-84.

Red Right Hand
Nick Caves abd the Bad Seeds
Take a litle walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
a red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand
You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

I was rushing around Berlin filming interviews for Australian filmmaker Richard Lowenstein for his documentary about Rowland S. Howard. I was very curious about meeting with Christoph Dreher. I had heard so much about him. When The Birthday Party first came to Berlin they stayed with Christoph Dreher. When I met Christoph I was having difficulty because I had to film with two cameras without any help or assistance. I was all thumbs and a bit awkward, but Christoph graciously put up with it all and told some great stories about Nick Cave, Rowland S. Howard, Mick Harvey and the Birthday Party band members who had stayed in his loft. Christoph was there from the beginning in Berlin involved with music and film. He was one of the first revolutionary music pioneers in Berlin when he founded the post-punk band Die Haut in 1980. Die Haut was primarily an amazing instrumental band with sometime guest singers such as Lydia Lunch, Nick Cave, Debbie Harry, Oliver Schütz etc. The first line up of the band consisted of Thomas Wydler, Martin Peter, Remo Park and Christoph. He had studied film-making and started making music videos for his band Die Haut and then went on to make music videos for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for songs such as "Tupelo", "The Singer" and "Mercy Seat“. He then went on to make numerous music documentaries as director and writer and won lots or awards such as the Grimme Preis. He made a lot of incredible music documenteries for German TV ZDF such as "POP ODYSSEE 2 - HOUSE OF THE RISING PUNK" covering the New York punk scene and the 18 part series "LOST IN MUSIC" for ZDF/arte/3sat. Since 2000, Christoph is a well respected professor teaching audiovisual media at Mez Akademie for Design in Stuttgart and he still continues to make film

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in concerto al Rock en Seine Day 2 di Parigi foto di Andrea Ripamonti per www.rockon.it
I can't be certain but think I booked this before getting tickets for Glastonbury. Probably saw it advertised in the NME & marvelled at the line up, the main draw being R.E.M. after the shows in May.
Travelled up to London before getting on our coach at Victoria. Arrived at Brussels & the coach parked up in a space at the rear of a number of buildings that all seemed to have sheets of corrugated metal covering the windows. The reason being, as we were informed by our driver, was due to the red light district being around the corner.
Pleased to discover that our accommodation was the 4 star Brussels Sheraton so after dropping off our luggage we went out to look around. Naturally our curiosity led us to the street around the corner. I recall desperately avoiding eye contact with the naked girls sat just inches away, separated only by a sheet of glass, & my pace quickening as they knocked on the windows. Relieved to reach the end of the street we then headed on to the more genteel delights of the Grand Place.
Returning to the hotel we discovered that some of the bands were staying at the our hotel after seeing fans waiting outside. Headed off to the hotel bar where Nick Cave was holding court. Waiting for the lift to return to our room & when the doors opened Joe Jackson stepped out.
The crowd at the festival seemed remarkably sedate & it was easy to stroll right up to the front of the stage. We took photos (with varying degrees of success) of most of the acts though sadly not Lou Reed who was touring the New York album at the time. I can only think it was down to the light level by the time he took to the stage.
