The Postcard
A carte postale published by L.L. that was posted in Biarritz on Monday the 1st. April 1907 to:
Mrs. Cook,
7, Horbury Crescent,
Notting Hill Gate,
London W.,
Angleterre.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Dearest Aunt,
I am going for a nice
walk today.
The X marks the hotel
where the King stays.
I think Biarritz is a
lovely place.
Best love from Lill".
Biarritz
Biarritz is in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of the Aquitaine region of France. It is 11 miles (18 km.) from the border with Spain.
From the 12th. century onwards Biarritz was a whaling settlement until all the whales left the Bay of Biscay, and from the 18th. century, doctors recommended the ocean at Biarritz for its therapeutic properties, inspiring patients to make pilgrimages to the beaches for alleged cures for their ailments.
Biarritz became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugénie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais), and also pumped a lot of money into the town.
Biarritz's casino opened on Saturday the 10th. August 1901, and its beaches make the town a notable tourist centre. For an early view of the casino, please search for the tag 62LGP26
Walter Kaufmann
So what else happened on the day that Lill posted the card?
Well, on the 1st. April 1907, Walter Kaufmann was born in Karlsbad, Bohemia (at that time part of Austria-Hungary).
He became a composer, conductor, musicologist, and educator.
Kaufmann enjoyed a career that crossed international boundaries, taking him to Berlin, Bombay, London, and Canada, before he settled in Bloomington, Indiana, USA in 1957.
After 1945 he was not allowed to come back to Bohemia because of his German ethnicity. In 1964, he became a naturalised U.S. citizen.
Kaufmann was noted for his study of Asian music, specialising in the music of India, Tibet, and China.
He was the composer of an opera, 'The Scarlet Letter', which was very well received at its premiere by the Opera Department of the Indiana University School of Music in the early 1960's.
He is also known for composing the signature music for All India Radio in 1936. The tune is still broadcast as the opening sequence of AIR stations across India.
Death of Walter Kaufmann
Kaufmann died in 1984 in Bloomington.

The X Files; Los Omnipotents
By Michael Vance
The silliness called Psychobabble is psychology based on faulty or nonexistent science. Now, there’s a new babble in town.
A confusion of myths from Atlantis to Zulus with wings – our metaphysical beliefs from all times and nations – that I now label metababble is hot.
And metababble is kept in “The X Files”.
Government agents Mulder and Scully investigate metababble on television and in a new comic book. In current issues, they travel to St. Elias, Alaska. Atlantic is buried under the ice there.
In Atlantis, someone has rediscovered that eating a person gives the eater the eaten’s knowledge. This ancient myth of cannibalism is given veracity by the new discovery that all knowledge is stored in human DNA. Adding to the silliness, Aztecs and Toltecs have also become the Lost Tribe of Israel.
This is metababble, fun unless taken seriously.
Taken with a grain of salt is the art of this series. It’s clean, interesting storytelling with one major fault. Neither Scully nor Mulder look like Scully or Mulder.
Also salty is the written word. Stefan Petrucha has done his homework according to a long list of reference materials. He understands that adding layers of myth makes metaphysical confusion almost believable and a fun read.
In addition, unfolding plot, and characterization are intriguing. Much is promised in this half of the two-part “shocker”, “Silent Cities of the Mind”.
But you won’t be shocked. You won’t throw this in the “round” file, either.
Taken with a large grain of salt is the price of “The X Files”, which follows the standard rules of packaging like page count and paper quality. Why is it so high?
#8/22 pages, $2.95 from Topps Comics/writer: Stephan Petrucha; artist: Charles Adlard/available in comics shops, on newsstands, and by mail.
MINIVIEW: “Los Omnipotents” [El Wendigo]. Comics articles and a long, well drawn, futuristic comics drama filled with ugliness and violence. For mature, Spanish reading comics fans.

Róisín Murphy torna in Italia con una data, organizzata e prodotta da Vivo Concerti, domenica 16 luglio 2023 nel contesto del Cortile delle Armi del Castello Sforzesco di Milano, in occasione della rassegna Estate al Castello 2023.
In continua evoluzione, Róisín Murphy - già parte del duo Moloko - è un’artista che si spinge sempre oltre i suoi confini sia in studio che dal vivo. Poliedrica e favolosamente imprevedibile, Róisín Murphy nella sua carriera solista ha realizzato cinque apprezzati album e svariate collaborazioni per ep e singoli, incredibili outfit, dj-set a Ibiza, una serie di podcast e, più recentemente, un ruolo da attrice in The Bastard Son & The Devil, in onda su Netflix.
A Milano Róisín presenta, oltre alle sue storiche hit, il nuovo singolo CooCool, la prima novità discografica dal 2021: prodotto da Dj Koze, è probabilmente un’anticipazione del suo sesto album solista, pezzo in cui si conferma capace di sovvertire le aspettative con una traccia che combina diversi generi musicali e ha un'anima intrigante.
Importante l’apparizione al Glastonbury West Holts Stage ma anche gli show che l’hanno vista protagonista all’Homobloc, alla Brixton Academy, al Coachella e al Primavera Sound. Quest’estate la consacrerà ulteriormente in un calendario di festival che include già Melt, Secret Garden Party, Mighty Hoopla e We Out Here, tra gli altri.
Quarantanove anni e cinque album solisti dopo – e mettiamoci anche l’ep di grandi classici della canzone italiana Mi senti, perché siamo un po’ provinciali – Róisín non ha perso il suo appeal. Testi ricercati, la voce allenata (ma sempre un po’ amateurish), produzioni sofisticate, la solita poliedricità nei live. Cambi di ritmo, cambi di abito, cambi di musicisti sul palco: gli show di Róisín sono sempre un piacere per occhi e orecchie. Live meno confusionari e goliardici, tipici dell’era post Overpowered, ora più intimi e consistenti. Gli anni passano, il catalogo cresce, ci si muove verso una direzione dance-sofisticata. La traiettoria ideale per una regina del pop.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Cie des Arts Photomécaniques of Strasbourg.
Huelgoat
Huelgoat is a commune in the Finistère département of Brittany in northwestern France.
Inhabitants of Huelgoat are called in French Huelgoatains.
Huelgoat's population in 2017 was 1,449.
Huelgoat is popular with tourists and holidaymakers due to its impressive natural setting among the vestiges of the ancient forest that once covered inland Brittany. Once part of royal and ducal lands, the forest is now overseen by the French forestry commission. It has an area of 10 square kilometres.
A large replanting scheme has repaired much of the damage sustained by the forest in the storms of the 15th.–16th. October 1987, when 3.1 square kilometres of trees were levelled or badly damaged.
The village lies on a lake created between the 16th. and 18th. centuries to supply water to local silver-lead mines by means of a 3 km (1.9 mi) leat or canal.
Features of Huelgoat
A number of geological and prehistoric curiosities can be found by following trails in and around the village and forest. Among these are:
-- Le Chaos de Rochers, the Chaos of Rocks, is a jumble of hundreds of large boulders below the dammed lake, into which the river vanishes. A 10 metre descent down ladders is required to see the river again, running rapidly below a dark cave called the Devil's Grotto.
-- La Roche Tremblante or Trembling Rock, is a 137-tonne boulder nearby, pivoted so it can be made to rock by a person pushing against one point.
-- Le Champignon, or The Mushroom, is a large rock balanced on a smaller one to give the appearance of a mushroom.
-- St.-Guinec Menhir, also known as the Menhir du Cloître. This standing stone, which is located to the west of Huelgoat, is over 6 metres tall. It stands in the garden of a house just off the Huelgoat to Brennilis road.
-- Kérampeulven Menhir is to the north of the village of Huelgoat. It is about 5 metres tall, and an attractive shape, set in a small grassy area with some shaded picnic tables. At some time in the past local quarrymen have engraved small pictures onto it, including a house and several animals.
-- La Grotte d'Artus, or Arthur's Cave, is a natural shelter formed under a roof of jammed rocks.
-- Le Camp d'Artus, Arthur's Camp, a sea promontory hillfort based on a Gaulish oppidum, with a linear rampart. It was used as refuge by the Osismii Gauls against the Roman invasion in 57 BC, and later acquired the nickname referring to Arthurian legend. The site was excavated by Sir Mortimer Wheeler.
-- La Mare aux Fées, the Fairies' Pool.
-- La Mare aux Sangliers, the Wild Boar Pool.
-- The Poërop Arboretum is a local arboretum with a nationally recognized collection of maple trees, among other substantial collections.
It may only be a local paper but I was still excited when they used my photo. Geoff was my 59th stranger and has doubled up to be my first photo journalism capture...

One of my photos shot for Crew Clothing of Dee Caffari was used nice and big in the Sunday Times today.
This was on the homepage of myspace.com for a while a couple days ago!
The snippet about FUN's album stream included my picture. Apparently a couple hours later it was switched to a different shot of them, but I am very glad to have had that airtime!

Published in the year 2000 this CD from Rhino Records includes recordings from 1947 to 1961 in chronological order.
His guitar playing style never fails to amaze, there's nothing like it. How great these old blues masters were gets revealed when you hear how lame it sounds when Eric Clapton is trying to emulate them. And Eric's not a beginner on the guitar.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Loury. The card has a divided back.
Many of the carvings in this and other medieval churches seem to feature the slaughter of either a wild predatory animal, an aggressive mythical creature, or a human being, often with a sword.
Autun
Autun is a subprefecture of the Saône-et-Loire département in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of central-eastern France.
It was founded during the Principate era of the early Roman Empire by Emperor Augustus as Augustodunum to give a Roman capital to the Gallic people. In Roman times the city may have been home to 30,000 to 100,000 people, according to different estimates. Nowadays, the commune has a population of about 15,000.
Barthélemy de Chasseneuz practised law in Autun, and in 1508 he made his reputation as a criminal lawyer by his eloquent defence of a group of rats who were put on trial for destroying the barley crop of the province.
Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of Burgundy under Philip the Good, came from Autun, where several examples of his artistic patronage can be seen. The Rolin Madonna, by Jan van Eyck, in the Louvre, shows what was probably at least intended as a view of Autun in the background.
In 1837, a commercial mining of oil shale deposit near Autun marked the beginning of the modern oil shale industry.
In 1852, the uranium mineral autunite was first discovered near Autun, and named after the town.
Autun is the main setting for James Salter's 1967 novel A Sport and a Pastime.
The European Triathlon Championships were held in the town in 2006.
The Fifth Stage of the 2007 Tour de France ended in the town, with the entrance to Autun being a twisting and winding route down from a nearby mountain.
Sights of Autun
The city boasts two ancient Roman gates (Porte Saint-André and Porte d'Arroux) and other ruins dating to the time of Augustus.
One of the most impressive remains is that of the ancient theatre, which was one of the largest in the western part of the empire with a 17,000 seat capacity.
To the northwest of the city is the so-called Temple of Janus, only two walls (faces) of which remain. To the southeast is the mysterious Pierre de Couhard, a rock pyramid of uncertain function which may date to Roman times.
Saint Lazare Cathedral
Autun Cathedral, also known as Saint Lazare Cathedral, dates from the early twelfth century, and is a major example of Romanesque architecture. It was formerly the chapel of the Dukes of Burgundy. The cathedral was originally built as a pilgrimage church for the veneration of the relic Saint Lazarus, mentioned in the Gospels, and considered the first bishop of Marseille, and who, always according to tradition, arrived in Provence with Mary Magdalen.
Autun Cathedral is famous for its architectural sculpture, particularly the tympanum of The Last Judgment above the west portal, surviving fragments from the lost portal of the north transept, and the capitals in the nave and choir.
All of these are traditionally considered the work of Gislebertus, whose name is on the west tympanum. It is uncertain whether Gislebertus is the name of the sculptor or of a patron. If Gislebertus is in fact the artist, he is one of very few medieval artists whose name is known.

Went to the Moseley Road Baths in Balsall Heath for a Brumtography photo meet.
The Public Library and Baths on Moseley Road, Balsall Heath, form one of many pairings of baths and libraries in Birmingham, England.
The library was opened in 1895, with the baths following in 1907. Made of red brick and terracotta in Edwardian style, the structure is one of only three swimming pools in the country listed at Grade II* status.
The buildings are currently managed by Birmingham City Council, however, the council has announced plans to close the baths in June 2017.
It is a Grade II* Listed Building.
