Tracklist. Track number. Sheep farming in Barnet is het officieuze debuutalbum van de muziekgroep Toyah, genoemd naar leadzangeres Toyah Willcox. Het album kreeg haar naam toen men een aantal schapen zag in de dichtbevolkte wijk Barnet, dan wel het district er omheen. Toyah kwamen in de schijnwerpers te staan na een optreden in de detective Toola, die ook in Nederland is uitgezonden. Toyah had toen al haar "spraakmakende" kapsel. De muziek is een mengeling van punkmuziek, jazz, new wave, maar ook invloeden van progressieve rock zijn aanwezig in de gedaante van de theatrale zang/spreekstem van Toyah Willcox. For faster navigation, this Iframe is preloading the Wikiwand page for Sheep farming in Barnet.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Queer Pagan Punk: the Films of Derek Jarman, Oct 30—Nov 11
    BAMcinématek presents Queer Pagan Punk: The Films of Derek Jarman, Oct 30—Nov 11 A complete retrospective of Jarman’s 12 feature films, the most comprehensive New York series in nearly two decades New restorations of debut feature Sebastiane and Caravaggio “It feels like the correct time to be reminded of an ancient tradition that has always served civilization well, that of the independent, truth-telling poet provocateur.”—Tilda Swinton The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 30, 2014—From Thursday, October 30 through Tuesday, November 11, BAMcinématek presents Queer Pagan Punk: The Films of Derek Jarman, a comprehensive retrospective of iconoclastic British filmmaker and crusading gay rights activist Derek Jarman, following its run at the BFI this spring. Jarman not only redefined queer cinema, but reimagined moviemaking as a means for limitless personal expression. From classical adaptations to historical biographies to avant-garde essay films, he crafted a body of work that was at once personal and political, during a difficult period when British independent cinema was foundering and the AIDS crisis provoked a wave of panic and homophobia. Also a poet, diarist, and painter, Jarman first entered the realm of the movies as a production designer for Ken Russell. The Devils (1971—Oct 31), Russell’s controversial opus of repressed nuns and witchcraft trials, played out in a 17th-century French village that Jarman spent a year creating. His own first feature, Sebastiane (1976—Nov 9), playing in a new restoration, placed a daring emphasis on male nudity and eroticism as it chronicled the death of the Christian martyr; Jarman called it “the first film that depicted homosexuality in a completely matter-of-fact way.” A time-traveling Queen Elizabeth I wanders among the ruins of a dystopic modern London in Jubilee (1978—Oct 30), a shot-in-the-streets survey of the burgeoning punk scene that captures early performances by Adam Ant, Wayne County, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Slits.

A: “A woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse for payment”, if you want to be literal. But that is not the meaning in this case. For me, Prostitute is a word of great power, often misused and misinterpreted. It is a word that evokes poverty, a slavery and entrapment of the opposite sex. It is a word that says compromise has become exploitation. A word created by misogynists and applied to too many great women through the ages. The period in which Prostitute, a pop star, shallow, an airhead in the album became a concept the eyes of the academics. This is in my head was a period of how we were perceived and I had unavoidable change. I had lived made the fatal mistake of believing through phenomenal popularity love was enough to justify a bond as an early Eighties icon, and I felt between two people. Boy! I was that all that was new and vibrant f------ angry. All the scum of music about me had become staid and journalism suddenly felt the right predictable.

  • Jarman Volume Two 1987-1994 6-Disc Limited Edition Blu-Ray Box Set Released on 25 February 2019
    Jarman Volume Two 1987-1994 6-disc Limited Edition Blu-ray box set released on 25 February 2019 19 February 2019 will mark 25 years since Derek Jarman’s untimely death at just 52, but the legacy of this iconoclastic filmmaker lives on. The BFI’s second Limited Edition Blu-ray collection, a lavishly packaged 6-disc box set, brings together Jarman’s last six features, made in the prolonged burst of creativity and political activism that followed his HIV diagnosis in 1987. All the films are presented in High Definition for the first time in the UK and range from the audacious anger of The Last of England (1987) to the astonishing experimentation of Blue (1993). Also included is Jarman’s posthumously-released elegy to Super 8, Glitterbug (1994), along with an incredible 66 special features – both new and archival, plus trailers, image galleries of rare stills and promotional materials and a 100- page perfect bound book of essays, film credits and more. Derek Jarman’s multi-faceted work is inspirational in its fearlessness, yet remains touchingly personal. The dynamism of these features evokes comparison with the bold romanticism of directors like Ken Russell (an early champion) and Michael Powell, as well as artists Paul Nash and John Piper. Jarman Volume Two 1987-1994 is a celebration of one of the world’s most unique filmmakers. The films included are: The Last of England (1987) with Tilda Swinton War Requiem (1989) with Nathaniel Parker, Tilda Swinton, Laurence Olivier The Garden (1990) with Tilda Swinton Edward II (1991) with Steven Waddington, Andrew Tierman, Tilda Swinton Wittgenstein (1993) with Karl Johnson, Michael Gough, Tilda Swinton Blue (1993) contributing musicians include Simon Fisher Turner, Coil, Scanner and Brian Eno Glitterbug (1994) with Adam Ant, Andrew Logan, Toyah Willcox, Marianne Faithfull, William S Burroughs, Genesis P-Orridge and Tilda Swinton The special features include ten newly recorded interviews with a variety of Jarman’s collaborators, eight archival interviews, two audio commentaries and six image galleries.

Whilst a full-blown hard copy CD reissue waits in the wings of a parallel universe, the music at least is now obtainable in this reissue for the digital age. To fully understand the thrust and the themes of this, Toyah’s sixth studio album, it is important to get some idea of the background and the events leading up to it. The album preceding Desire was 1985’s Minx; the first album where a band was not visible. Moreover, the album was the first time the creative joint forces of Joel Bogen and Toyah Willcox were predominantly absent since 1977. Save for one album track and a song relegated to a B-Side, Minx’s original material was written without Bogen and he did not play guitar on any of the sessions. Minx was released in 1985 on Portrait/CBS and despite the strong imagery and high profile media coverage, there was no follow up on that label.
