Paul Auster and the unconscious


The beginning of Sean O'Hagan's insightful article on meeting the author of Oracle Night in The Observer (via g3rm):

A friend who lives in New York once told me about a surreal Sunday morning he had spent wandering around the Park Slope area of Brooklyn a few years ago. While searching for a place to have brunch, he noticed that there were 'all these pieces of A4-sized paper pinned to the trees and signposts'. They read, 'Where is Paul Auster?' 'It was,' my friend said, 'like wandering into the plot of a Paul Auster novel.'

 
 

Sean "High Llamas" O'Hagan schreibt für den "Guardian"?

die

namensübereinstimmung fällt mir jetzt auch auf. keine ahnung, ob das derselbe ist. hast du deren letzte platte gehört? ich noch nicht, aber ich habe gutes gehört. meine einzige high llamas ist hawaii. höre ich zwar selten, aber dann mit viel genuss.

à propos namensgleichheit. heute als ich "damaged goods" von den gang of four gehört habe, fiel mir beim nachlesen über die band auf, dass der gitarrist andy gill heißt. ist das derselbe wie der musikkritiker beim independent, der ziemlich kritische popkritiken schreibt? z.b. hier über franz ferdinand.

Sind sehr OK, die High Llamas. Ob die Andy-Gill-Identitäten deckungsgleich sind, weiss ich auch nicht. Franz Ferdinand finde ich nicht schlecht, muss ich aber öfter hören.

Perhaps this has already been said in Deutsch, but anyway - No, Seán O'Hagan of the High Llamas isn't the same as the journalist. In the Eighties, one O'Hagan wrote for the NME and the other played for Microdisney. It's always been a been confusing. Bear in mind that Sean O'Hagan is a very common name in some parts of the world.

But this is just an excuse to say how much I liked Beet Maize and Corn.

thank

you for the clarification. and thank you for your funny conversations between winnie-the-puke, punklet and who knows. what about andy gill? do you know if the independent music critic = the gang of four guitar player? and thanks for the info on beet maize and corn. in comparison to hawaii how would you rate the new album?

beet

No, those two Andy Gills aren't the same either. Another common name I guess. There's even another British journalist with the same name who just calls himself A. A. Gill. Thinking about this kind of stuff makes my head hurt.

I wouldn't say Beet Maize and Corn is as good as Hawaii - few albums are - but it's the best thing they've done in a long time. It's a lot quieter and more acoustic sounding than their recent stuff.
