TONY BULLIMORE (1939-Died July 31st 2018,at 79.Stomach cancer).British sailor and professional yacht racer.Bullimore was rescued after capsizing during the 1996 Vendée Globe single-handed around-the-world race. The race was marked by a number of incidents, including the death of another contestant, Gerry Roufs. On 5 January 1997, in the Southern Ocean near 52°S 100°E, Bullimore's boat, Exide Challenger capsized and the majority of press and media reports assumed that the 57-year-old sailor was lost. The Royal Australian Navy launched a rescue mission for Bullimore and another capsized competitor, Thierry Dubois (fr). Bullimore was alive and managed to survive in an air pocket in the upside-down boat in pitch darkness, having lost his food supplies, aside from a bar of chocolate. On 9 January, fellow Vendée Globe competitor Thierry Dubois was rescued by an Australian S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopter embarked on the frigate HMAS Adelaide. Adelaide then proceeded further south to where the Exide Challenger had been located by a RAAF P-3 Orion. Adelaide dispatched a rigid-hulled inflatable boat to the Exide Challenger where crew members knocked on the hull. Hearing the noise, Bullimore swam out from his boat and was quickly rescued by personnel from Adelaide.HMAS Adelaide then returned both Dubois and Bullimore to Perth.During the return journey, Bullimore met with each member of the boat's crew to thank them for saving his life. In 2005, Bullimore skippered a tea.m that came second in the 2005 Oryx Quest. In 2007, he was involved in another sailboat record attempt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bullimore

6/23/20.

I was all ready to post this last week and then Tanning Bats and Bob Mould came along. As often happens, once buried forever forgotten. Except for this. Forgotten, but revived by a well timed email from Sacramento based label Mt. St. Mtn (they have a great Boy Romeo 12″ as well). R.E. Seraphin “Tiny Shapes” was originally released as a cassette on San Francisco label Paisley Shirt Records. Now Mt. St. Mtn. is reissuing it on vinyl.

R.E. Seraphin was originally based in the Bay Area, relocated to Austin and has since moved back to the Bay Area. He worked with Matt Bullimore (The Mantles) as well as other people associated with Tony Molina and The Neutrals.

For me this sound tends more to the 80s indie pop genre - think Game Theory or Let’s Active.

R.E. Seraphin molds tiny shapes into big songs.

Though he’s been on the scene for a while now (with different bands) I hadn’t heard the music of Bay Area musician R.E. “Ray” Seraphin until this year via a cassette called Tiny Shapes via Paisley Shirt Records (more on the label below). His first real band was Talkies, which he discusses below (and I have enjoyed), but he seems to have really come into his own this year with that cassette and a new EP, A Room Forever, which came out just a month or so ago. In his music you’ll hear influences of 80’s jangle pop as well as some deeper post-punk stuff (and for more current stuff I hear whispers of Dean Wareham and his bands and Wild Nothing). Reading below he seems very well grounded and seems to have a great attitude about everything (even not being able to play shows during a pandemic or being in a writing slump). I think once this is all over this guy will go on 5-year tour and gain lots and lots of new fans. In the meantime do check out his stuff, you won’t be disappointed.

Where did you grow up?

Berkeley, CA. The area I grew up in was filled with Victorian homes and dilapidated industrial warehouses. My family home was walking distance from a lagoon and an old, rusty set of train tracks. I felt I lived in an unremarkable college town. There wasn't much activity outside of the school. I discovered Berkeley’s storied political and musical history much later in life. Now, of course, there are many books written about Berkeley, but I thought it was a kinda nondescript city as a kid.

Do you remember what band made you fall in love with music?

Dating myself hard here, but I remember being floored by The White Stripes’ “Fell in Love With a Girl” video when I was 11. The Top 40 music making the rounds on VH1 and MTV at the time was beyond dreck — a lot of Train, Staind, Matchbox 20. The White Stripes were the first band I was exposed to that made succinct, catchy, no-frills music. I was genuinely enthralled. Plus, the Lego animation in that video still holds up.

Was guitar your first instrument?

I started on bass. My first instrument was an extremely cheap, pointy BC Rich knockoff monstrosity. I believe I was 13. I had no idea how to play and little interest in learning. For the first year, I putzed around with a Pro Co RAT, a wah pedal, and a tinny-sounding Crate practice amp. I just tried (and succeeded in) being as obnoxious as possible. When I started writing songs, I eventually graduated from playing bass poorly to playing guitar poorly.

Tell us about your first band.

My first band that played shows was called The Phil Spector Shotgun Experience. That was primarily a cover band I put together with my high school buddies and my mom. We covered Radio Birdman, the Pink Fairies, and the MC5; we also had an unwittingly hilarious original called “Nitroglycerin Man” — the first song I ever wrote (maybe I was subconsciously inspired by Wages of Fear). At some point, we kicked my mom out of the band and started playing as the Impediments. That band kicked ass — we made pridefully dumb American punk music. That was also my only band to sign a record contract, so it’s quite possibly been downhill from there!

Tell us about The Talkies (unless that was your first band mentioned above).

Talkies (no article!) was a group I started in 2014 as a vehicle for my songs. My previous bands had been more of a shared vision, so Talkies was my first foray into being the lone genius of a group. The sound was mostly drawn from what is disparagingly known as power pop. Basically, I was heavily into the band Shoes for a few years.

We released a few albums and EPs. Did a couple short tours. During that time, the project was dragged from the Bay Area to Austin and back before I finally, mercifully pulled the plug last year. It was time.

When did you transition from Talkies to the solo stuff you’re doing now? Did it feel comfortable?

Talkies had run its course, but I had a smattering of songs leftover from that project that I wanted to record. Around that time, I learned my good friend Jasper Leach (Burner Herzog) was getting ready to skip town. I had always wanted to work with him and, seizing my final opportunity to do so, we banged out my début, Tiny Shapes, last summer. The whole experience was fairly serendipitous. The stars aligned for that one.

I wouldn't say the process was comfortable. Recording the album felt necessary, urgent — almost compulsory at times. My heart was ready for a new project and I truly wanted to center myself for the first time. I’m glad I did. This is the happiest I’ve been musically in some time.

“I think therefore I am”

I love the songs on A Room Forever. How did they come together?

So glad to hear that! I got asked to contribute to a compilation back in April. With the deadline approaching and inspiration still eluding me, I took a glance at my bookshelf, noticed a particular Carson McCullers title, and whipped up “Clock Without Hands.” After my trusty collaborator Owen Adair Kelley added his parts, I felt we had stumbled upon a great sound. I tried to harness the creative spirit and pushed myself to finish a few ideas buried deep in the recesses of my Voice Memo app. I got friends Matt Bullimore (The Mantles) and Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming & The Rumors) involved, and that was that. No great origin story — just pure American ingenuity and elbow grease.

Tell us about Paisley Shirt Records. Who runs it and how did you hook up with them?

Paisley Shirt Records is simply the man, the myth, the legend — Kevin Linn. He is a San Francisco-based musician and artist who records as Sad-Eyed Beatniks.

I met him when I was looking for someone to release my album, Tiny Shapes. He had just put out a tape by Hits — a great local band featuring some friends of mine — and I felt a kinship with his roster. So, I reached out to him. Foolishly, he agreed to put out my album and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Solid dude. High marks.

Have you done any solo tours? If so where and how did they go?

Ha! No. I had only notched two shows as R.E. Seraphin before the pandemic hit. Likely not doing anything beyond the odd live-stream show for a while. That said, if any tastemaking European touring agencies are reading this — give me a ring!

The latest EP

What are your top 10 desert island discs?

Ah, jeez. This question. I’ll just say these are 10 (plus one) that I come back to quite often. In no order:

Marquee Moon by Television

The Everly Brothers’ Best

Forever Changes by Love

Let it Be by The Replacements

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star

The First Songs by Laura Nyro

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens

In a Silent Way by Miles Davis

A Different Kind of Tension by Buzzcocks

Something Else by The Kinks

Old No. 1 by Guy Clark

What are a few Bay Area bands that we should know about.

This is a golden-era for weirdo pop music in the Bay. To name just a few: Galore, Cindy, The Umbrellas, Tony Jay, Flowertown, Healing Potpourri, Latitude, Cocktails, The Reds, Pinks, & Purples, Yea-Ming & The Rumors, Anna Hillburg, the 1981, Toner, Frank Ene, Neutrals, Owen Adair Kelley, April Magazine, Telephone Numbers, Hits, Sad-Eyed Beatniks. Essentially every act associated with Paisley Shirt Records and/or Mt.St.Mtn. My bias is strong.

Do you feel that the pandemic has helped your songwriting or hindered it (if either)?

A li’l column A, a li’l column B. I’m a natural procrastinator, so I’ve definitely savored the lack of band practice and shows (things that often necessitate new material). That said, I doubt I would have finished A Room Forever had I not been quarantined at home. Without having many obligations and without being able to leave my house, music definitely became my raison d’être for the first time as an adult. I was fortunate to not be deemed an “essential” worker and to be able to focus energy on my passion momentarily. Silver lining.

What’s next ? A new record by the end of the year possibly?

Hopefully continuing to promote my music and play shows on the ol’ webiverse. A Room Forever will be receiving a small vinyl and tape pressing at the end of September via Mt.St.Mtn. and Paisley Shirt Records. So, looking forward to that.

I was creatively tapped for a few months after A Room Forever. While a new album is possible, it’s not probable. I am plugging away at a few tunes, but I tend to conceptualize albums as a thematic whole and not as a collection of songs. Haven't stumbled onto my next Big Idea yet. Don't count me out, though. I could see myself dashing off a covers album for sure.

What is one song you wish you’d written?

Too many to name! I’ll reframe that question to mean a great song I could see myself capable of writing in an alternate time, place, or dimension. Maybe one of Peter Holsapple’s songs from The dB’s — “Black & White” or “Neverland.” Also: anything by Wreckless Eric or Martin Newell.

Final thoughts? Closing comments?

Just finished reading an interview with the great James Purdy, and thought this quote summed up iur current political climate well:

“You go out into the world and no one knows you, you can be ruled because you’re programmed. Everything is stamped, put on the shelf, described, thrown out into the garbage. It’s a political process, and behind that an economic process. But to be nothing, that is the worst of all possible things.”

Tony Bullimore obituary

Yachtsman who found fame after his spectacular rescue from the Southern Ocean during the 1996-97 Vendée Globe race

Tony Bullimore, who has died of cancer aged 79, achieved worldwide fame after he survived for four days in an air pocket under the overturned hull of his boat, following a storm that overwhelmed him during a solo round-the-world yacht race.

The non-stop Vendée Globe race for single-handed yacht sailors, organised and starting from France, began in November 1996. The route took competitors southwards to South Africa and eastwards into the Southern Ocean towards Australia. Bullimore sailed a 60ft yacht named the Exide Challenger. He had been competing in single-handed ocean races for 25 years and had won the 1985 Round Britain race, for which he was made yachtsman of the year.

CONOR MAYNARD - MIT NEUER SINGLE „HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU“

Als vielseitiger Musiker, Regisseur und Persönlichkeit sammelte er allein 225 Millionen Streams als Sänger des letztjährigen Sommer-Smashers „Whenever“ mit Kris Kross Amsterdam und The Boy Next Door. Es folgte die Kollaboration mit Hardwell und Snoop Dogg für „How You Love Me“ und anschließend mit Alok auf „Pray“. Sogar am Broadway waren seine Talente gefragt, in der Hauptrolle des Charlie Price im Tony-Award-ausgezeichneten Musical „Kinky Boots“, wo er in die Fußstapfen von Panic! At The Discos Brendon Urie und Jake Shears von den Scissor Sisters trat. Nun kehrt Conor Maynard mit der Veröffentlichung seiner brandneuen Single „Hate How Much I Love You“ zurück, zugleich sein erster neuer Song als Lead-Solo-Künstler seit vier Jahren. „How Much I Love You“ legt Conors geschmeidige Stimme über einen Hintergrund aus zurückgelehntem, sonnengetränktem, modernem Pop, der wie gemacht ist für den Sommer. Der Song wurde produziert von Noah Conrad (BTS) und von Conor gemeinsam mit Andrew Bullimore (Chainsmokers, Galantis) und Josh Record (Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie) geschrieben.

„Es ist nun rund fünf Jahre her, seit ich mein letztes eigenes Solomaterial veröffentlicht habe, und es fühlt sich an, als hätte ich seitdem so ziemlich alles erlebt, um endlich diese Musik veröffentlichen zu können“, sagt Conor. „Ich war 19, als ich mein erstes Album veröffentlichte, und obwohl ich immer stolz auf diese Musik sein werde, fühlt sich dieses neue Material doch mehr danach an, dass es wirklich von mir kommt. Ich habe jeden Song, den man zu hören bekommen wird, mit all meinen engen Freunden geschrieben. So, und nun wünsche ich viel Spaß beim Hören! https://conor.lnk.to/HHMILY Live Dates 09.10. -Berlin, Columbia Theater 10.10. -München, Technikum 12.10. -Köln, Kantine Links: https://www.facebook.com/ConorMaynard https://www.instagram.com/conormaynard/?hl=de https://www.conor-maynard.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpmD3iT-8TQzRuygIiS9bAw Read the full article
