Filmed in Brixton Academy, London - March 2025.

Gates of Heaven is a song about hypocrisy in religious organisations and institutional abuse in Ireland. Andrew wrote the song while reading a book called ‘Republic of Shame’ by Caelainn Hogan. Many victims of clerical abuse in Ireland have been failed by the church and state and still await justice.

Date of the live performance is unclear; video released on the compilation ‘It's Not Over 'Till the Skinny Arab Lights the Fuse’.

There's an ostensibly remastered version, with brighter vocals. However, its provenance is unclear, as is rather typical with 'remasters' posted by anyone other than official channels or ardent melomaniacs. How come that this remastered track is overlaid on the music video, without any desyncing? But also, why does the video have weird glitches and lags? I'd prefer that the author cleared that up, instead of me guessing whether one has to do with the other.

The album includes recordings starting from ~1989, to at least Eddie Hazel's last recordings before his death in 1992 — combined with new material into new tracks. According to Wikipedia, “‘Funkcronomicon’ is widely considered to be a full-fledged P-Funk album”.

Bandcamp pages for individual songs have credits for those songs, or they can be seen on Discogs. Many people performing or involved on the final recording have worked with Laswell elsewhere, as per his tradition.

'If 6 Was 9' and 'Trumpets And Violins, Violins' are covers of Jimi Hendrix.

'Cosmic Slop' is a cover of Funkadelic, under Laswell's moniker Material, but with p-funk members' vocals.

Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan are members of The Last Poets, a proto-hip-hop group that started in the sixties and whose style was closely borrowed by Gil Scott-Heron (with permission).

The relationship between Austin and Mercury is captivating. Over the years it has fascinated his fans, not least because she has so rarely talked about it publicly.

We meet at the Guardian offices in London. Austin has a beautiful face (when she smiles, she’s got a touch of Debbie Harry), walks with a stick, and is elegantly but unobtrusively dressed. Everything about her is unobtrusive. Austin is here with her younger son, Jamie, who is in his mid-30s and was born a couple of months after Mercury died in 1991, aged 45. Strangely, he looks a little like the singer, although Mercury is not his father.

She is about to publish Freddie Mercury: A Life in Lyrics, a book that combines the lyrics in their original scratchy form, photographs and her observations on the relationship between both the lyrics and Mercury, and Mercury and herself. As you’d expect of somebody who has guarded his privacy fiercely since his death, it is hardly a kiss’n’tell. Nor is today’s interview. But she is remarkably candid about their life together.

From Wikipedia

"Me Myself I" is a song by British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, released in June 1980 as the first single from her album of the same name. The song features jazz musician Marcus Miller on bass. It peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]

Meaning

Armatrading has said, "I'm very comfortable being on my own, I have no problems with it. I think quite a lot of people have a problem with being on their own, and I think it's quite a healthy thing to enjoy being by yourself. That's really what I was saying. Sometimes being on your own is quite an empowering thing".[2]

Critical reception

Upon its release, Deanne Pearson of Smash Hits described "Me Myself I" as having "genuine power and emotion" and believed it was Armatrading's "best single" since 1976's "Love and Affection". She wrote, "The song has a natural running melody that is sometimes absent from her more folky material and the intensity of the lyrics and arrangements are softened to just the right degree, producing a pop song that contains thought, feeling and conviction."[3] Robin Smith of Record Mirror noted the song's commercial potential, writing, "Big on ego, big on lyrics and huge on production, this should see Armatrading neatly cleaning up. Her most stark offering so far, attacking her previous, rather softer, style with a bottle of paint stripper. What a voice, what a song. Buy it."[4]
