IF ROLLERS ARE LEFT TURNING ON THE DRUM THE INK WILL DRY FASTER AND THE ROLLERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO NEEDLESS WEAR' organized by Will Holder at The Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada. PODCAST HERE "Things in their alleged places. Things where they think they should be, where they prefer to be. All of the things, just where they are. Things with things of their own. Things obeying no rules, following no orders, filling no prescriptions, looking nowhere for directives. Things with no agendas, no platforms, no purpose. A thing for everything and everything every place, Each and every thing, all over the place. Something, something else, and something else entirely. All together, all the things together make everything there is. And this too, this thing here, is also a thing. This thing is a part of everything else but it doesnt belong to anything. This is simply another additional thing that exists along with all the other things. And that's all there is to it. That's it."

“One question, Mr President: can we mud-wrestle here?”
Junior Aspirin Records is pleased to announce the release of a new four-track EP by Dan Fox. Recorded at home in New York, the EP follows up on Fox’s 2009 album for Junior Aspirin Records, ‘Easy Sneezing at the Century’.
Listening to Fox’s latest EP, the educated ear will fail to detect references to ABC, OMD, COB, ELO, XTC, X-TG, DNA, DFA, DAF or any other names you care to drop; references are for footnotes and job applications. Rather, these four tracks soft-shoe shuffle between genres of middlebrow adult rock, Russo-Inuit fusion-lite, and the mating sounds of one million randy cicadas emerging above ground for the first time in 17 years; the music conjuring images such as a ‘cut along dotted line’ neck tattoo or the sight of your ex-lover padding through an exclusive Swiss sanitorium in a soft towelling robe. Limning the triangular no-fly zone between amateurism, sentimentality and environmental irresponsibility, Fox’s music rigorously avoids the cocktail party circuit and large groups of people, preferring instead to remain resolutely stand-offish to some, yet warm and personable to others.
The EP - as recently heard on Mike Watt's radio show, The Watt From Pedro Show - is the 24th release on Junior Aspirin Records, and is available as a free download HERE.
‘One question, Mr President: who do you moonlight for?’

7 March 548 West 22nd Street. 6:20pm SHARP.  JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 16: PARDON MY FRENCH A French-Pop-Special-Guest-Podcast by our friends at Stop Making Sense - Yann Chateigné, Tiphanie Blanc & Vincent Normand http://stopmakings.blogspot.com Introduction penned by Mr. Dan Fox & performed by Mr. Nathaniel Mellors
PODCAST HERE
It was late.
Wind howled through the dark outside the windows of the Novotel Krakow Centrum. The four men had been locked for nine days in the hotel's Pope John Paul II Honeymoon Suite, surviving on a diet of lager and garage-bought sandwiches, delivered to them every hour by a silent seven-foot-tall thug known only as Tadeusz. The absurdist theatre sessions the men had been subjected to by their captors had become steadily less frequent. The men had proved resilient, but – exhausted by nonsensical language games, atonal tuba music and dizzying non-linear narratives - hope was beginning to ebb. Mellors was tending a head wound Cooke had sustained during one of the more brutal theatre sessions, when a surrealist mime act had unexpectedly exploded in his face. Chateigné Tytelman was by the window, gazing despondently at the blizzard enveloping the city beyond the walls of their gilded cage. Normand, slumped across an antique chaise-longue, stared at the pile of empty Zywiec cans in the centre of the room, each one a stinging reminder of how long they'd been prisoners of their mysterious kidnappers. Unsure whether they would ever see their homes again, conversation naturally turned to pop music. Chateigné Tytelman and Normand wistfully exchanged names of leading French rock musicians. Guy Skornik. Popera Cosmic. Magma. "Remember Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier's Teen Tonic?" asked Chateigné Tytelman. "Of course." responded Normand. "And what I'd give to hear LSD! by Jean-Christophe Averty again…" Mellors tried to join the conversation. "I like Serge Gainsbourg a lot." The two Frenchmen fell silent. Realising that this was no time for musical one-upmanship, they humoured him, but Mellors could tell he was in over his head. "Look chaps, if we ever happen to get out of this place, would you do me a favour?" "Of course. Anything, my friend." replied Normand. Mellors continued. "You see, the thing is … well … I feel somewhat struck by what I can only describe as … an abject, almost Bataillan, feeling of non-knowledge about all this French pop you're discussing. It's embarrassing, I know. I was only ever taught The Beatles at school, although I picked up a bit of Francoise Hardy along the way. Cooke here had a better education and knows a little Jean-Michel Jarre, but really, we need your help. We feel like such fools being able only to name MC Solaar as the one French rapper we know. But I have an idea. Back home, Me, Cooke, and another pal of ours by the name of Fox – god knows where he is, though last I heard he was on some top secret mission in the US – run this little record label thing. Nothing flashy you understand, but we like to call it Junior Aspirin Records. If – no, when, dammit, when – you get back to Paris and Geneva, would you mind awfully putting together an expository podcast for JAR? Something the boys can use to better acquaint themselves with the riches of your pop music tradition? It would mean the world to us, it really would. And maybe, just maybe, it could help herald a new era. One in which children, in schools up and down the country, need never again have to listen to the Rolling Stones or The Kinks, but rather, grow to be men and women of the world, pioneers of a new musical entente cordiale… It's a silly dream, I know, but … well, to blazes with being sensible. Let's try and change the world. One 70s prog rock classic at a time." "We know someone." said Chateigné Tytelman. "She goes by the name of Blanc. Her knowledge of the field is unsurpassed. We will enlist Blanc's help. Together with my expertise, and Normand's technical skills, we can do this for you Mellors. For you. For Cooke. For everyone." Chateigné Tytelman and Normand stood. Cooke wiped a tear from his eyes. The Frenchmen nodded in silent assent, and the four prisoners shook hands. Now, all that was between them and Serge Bulot's Ballade pour Suzanne was that jailor thug Tadeusz. As they heard the brute's heavy feet approach the door of their room, the men knew what they needed to do… JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 15: EXPLAINING GENTRIFICATION JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 15: EXPLAINING GENTRIFICATION
As Junior Aspirin Records admires it's new full-sleeve tattoos and raises the rent on its slum districts for the 37th consecutive month, we explain over a cup of cold-press espresso that you can't afford to even look at, how complex cultural and economic forces work to disprove the old adage that 'man cannot live by gourmet cheese alone.'

 " Is it possible to work without recourse to the past? To answer the call of whatever feels correct at any one time and feel free from the clutching hands of history - those grabbing hands that seek ankles in the dark. ("Down here, down here, remember me, remember me!") There are small things that can knock you off the path, from the sartorial to the political; remember Kevin Rowland's Penny Loafers and the MIA truffle fries incident? These details we can handle. But there are larger waves that threaten to sink us; the sudden recollection that Nas's The Message samples Sting's Shape of My Heart or that Skillrex was once Emo and maybe still is. We have to steel ourselves; never topple, take up swimming, yoga, macrame, breathe, breathe, crush the cigarettes of doubt, strike out, sport white socks, remember Jerry Lee and remember that although Johnny Rotten once cried "horses, horses, horseshit!" after seeing Patti Smith, now he's selling butter. To hell with history! " " Yeah, you could say that. Sure. But sometimes things take longer than they are supposed to. They surface only to submerge again and how they bob back up you can't really tell, jesus in your toast or utopia on youtube. We are always taking something from then and placing it there, we can't help it. Things don't always fit, round peg square hole, with a spit polish fix. And you can't really put it back, it has already hop-skip-jumped into your futurity. Soorrrrryy. But who am I to say. Try it. Spiffy it up and return it to the store, step back into your "real" as it exists at the bar last night only now with a bouquet of peonies. In the end you are right, fuck the poundage. Maybe slipping out from under that with a steely backwards eye. This is the way to work. Let's do that. " 8pm Sunday July 15th 285 West Broadway at Canal, Suite 200 ----- SOUNDWORKS

JUNIOR ASPIRIN RECORDS at ARTISTS SPACE, NYC Sunday 4th December, Artists Space, 38 Greene Street, NYC, in association with The Serving Library 8pm start $5 Entrance Donation Members Free "The idea is mental freedom: transformation of the familiar. Primrose Hill, Staten Island, Gospel Oak, Sao Paolo, Boston Manor, Costa Rica, Arnos Grove, San Clemente, Maida Vale, Studamer: Stay busy, out of phase, in love." – Jon Savage In the summer of 2011, Junior Aspirin Records (Andy Cooke, Dan Fox and Nathaniel Mellors) produced a series of four themed listening sessions, or "Audio Annotations", for Dexter Sinister's Serving Library residency at The Banff Centre, Canada. Designed to encourage thinking away from the printed word, each hour-long session was comprised of a commentary woven into a playlist of songs, each one chosen for its associative links to a topic. Whiskey was served and the sessions were played at high volume in total darkness. The Banff Annotations were themed around narrative, taste, materiality and community. For Artists Space, Dexter Sinister have asked J.A.R. to produce a new session themed around "Identity", presented by Dan Fox, and an accompanying text for the latest issue of the journal Bulletins of The Serving Library. The listening session will inaugurate this second issue of Bulletins, the house journal of The Serving Library that continues the trajectory of its forerunner Dot Dot Dot. The new issue has grown out of two physical incarnations of The Serving Library in 2011 – first at The Banff Centre in Canada over the summer, and now at Artists Space. The individual "bulletins" that comprise this issue include "Everything is in Everything," "It is the Outsidedness Flavor of it," and "If Things are not Quickly to go Pear-shaped." Advance copies of the journal will be available on the night for $15. As with all the issues, the whole is freely available to download from www.servinglibrary.org, as well as the first four J.A.R. Annotations, which will be made available online after the event. Labels: Cooke, Dexter Sinister, Fox, live, Mellors JUNIOR ASPIRIN RECORDS at PERFORMA 11
