Reading your King of the City

[Darren]

Mike,

Am half way through reading King of the City and am really bowled over by your style. I know you dedicated it to your Grandson as a fable but is there some truth in it?

For example did you know Snowy White? Was Robert Calvert really that bad? Is Tubby a thinly veiled portmanteau of you?

Glad the site's back. Hope the Elric movie's coming along. Like most people on this messageboard, I will offer for free my services to make it happen. Have been honing my skills and have a website which I'd like if youi could give me some feedback on.

Trust it is intuitive enough to navigate through. Where has the eyes rolling emoticon gone? Interesting cat though.

Yes, I know Snowy. He was on the New Worlds Fair album. Robert was bipolar and could be a pain in the neck, but I always liked what he did.
There were times, however, when even his best friends couldn't stand working with him -- when he should have been taking the tablets. He could be a very professional worker, though, especially in the studio where he really knew what he wanted and how to get it -- though Eno produced what I consider to be his best album (which I was on doing some banjo and guitar and background vocals).
Tubby's not me, but he is based on a very close friend of mine, the mysterious Lord Holland...

Site confused me, I fear. But I'm from the stone age. Clicked on stuff here and there but it didn't really take me anywhere. I honestly think there's a different mind-set involved. I've noticed this before. Conventions exist which are all but meaningless to me. Very sorry, pard.

I've been listening to Lucky Leif a lot recently and it occurs to me that there's an argument for claiming that it's the first truly postmodern prog concept album, with it's recycling of various styles and signature tunes in a plainly ludicrous historical concept. It has a much more self-referential and 'knowing' feel about it even than Zappa's Ruben and the Jets.

I'll get my coat...

[Michael Moorcock]

Good point. Of course, Eno knew what he was doing -- and made a perfect partner for Robert, who also knew what he was doing. And it was great fun doing choruses of 'Bar - bar -- bar -- barbar-ians...'

I've been boomwapped!

Mike sorry to hear you couldn't browse my site. Am at an easyInternetcafe and I can't seem to access my site either. Two bloody quid for that! Perhaps if it's back online you might try again, thought it would be intuitive that you have to click on the pics and links when you see the little index finger hand icon.

Thanks for trying though.

Hi Mike and everyone,

Site confused me, I fear. But I'm from the stone age. Clicked on stuff here and there but it didn't really take me anywhere. I honestly think there's a different mind-set involved. I've noticed this before. Conventions exist which are all but meaningless to me. Very sorry, pard.

I asked Mike to browse my site but as he is a Neanderthal in the Silicon Age I'm posting this primer. I constructed the site to send to employers in New Media, Animation Co's, and Graphic design. I shall probably have to do a complete overhaul before I update it with new stuff so even Neolithic webjammers like Mike can get the drift, the trick, the knack. I want it to be ongoing, an evolving site you may say. and hopefully to get me work.
I would appreciate any feedback here on the newly reformed Multiverse. Very importantly to get back to my Portfolio click the PORTFOLIO link. So for the webwise here's the index page link:

For the rest. Thanks.
